Aloe aristata can be grown indoors or outside. This will give the leaves their natural texture. The leaves are fleshy with lance-shaped ends and are randomly placed with white spots. This gives it a striking resemblance of its relatives in the Haworthia genus. Both Aloe and Haworthia are native to Southern Africa and have triangular-shaped leaves in various shades of green. The torch plant leaves have triangular shapes with spiny tips. They also have serrated margins covered in white teeth.
