Aloes are very popular, xeric, ornamental plants, that are native inhabitants of the African desert and ideal for containerizing and displaying as an indoor specimen. Aloes are very thick, fleshy leafed transplants, some growing small, others growing into sizable trees. The Aloe kedongensis is an attractive plant with blunted tapering thorns that run along the edges of the leaves and are not really dangerous to those wishing to test the touching consequences. During the extended flowering period, a tall slender spike arises from the plant center that is covered with bright orange, trumpet-shaped flowers that at maturity change into seed pods.
