Aloe aageodonta

A branching, stem-forming aloe from Kenya that sprawls to about 3 m, with loose rosettes of 12–20 toothed, triangular leaves and branched spikes of yellow or red flowers. It grows on rocky hills, in forest clearings and along thicket edges at roughly 960–1250 m. Grow it as a bright-light, fast-draining equatorial aloe with warm days, mild nights and drier spells between rains.

Where it grows wild

Wikipedia describes it on rocky hills, in forest clearings and on the edges of thickets. That puts it in open or lightly shaded rocky ground, often leaning into neighbouring shrubs as the stems lengthen and sprawl.

GBIF records give 960–1250 m (median 1250 m from four records with elevations), matching the 960–1250 m quoted in the literature summary.
