Wild Wonders Oasis
Aloe Arborescens Cutting — The Torch Aloe That’s Serving Spiky Glam
Fierce. Functional. Flaming fabulous.
Forget boring houseplants — this one comes with a built-in superpower. Aloe arborescens, also known as the Torch Aloe, is a statuesque succulent with a wild, architectural form and fiery red-orange flower spikes that attract hummingbirds, pollinators, and full-on garden envy.
More free-spirited than your average Aloe vera, this branching beauty can grow into a multi-headed stunner up to 4–6 feet tall. And yes — she’s got skin-soothing gel too. Burn your toast, not your fingertips.
Cold-hardy and fast-growing — unlike her more needy Aloe cousins
🔥 Bright coral torch blooms in fall and winter
🦋 Attracts hummingbirds and pollinators like a magnet
🌞 Sun-loving and sculptural — perfect for xeriscapes, containers, or statement borders
💧 Drought-tolerant and drama-free
Please note this listing is for 1 cutting. These Aloe's root easily and grow very fast. They can be left alone to grow into a bush with multiple heads or trained to grow into a tree form (as is pictured). Parent plant is in the pictures.
📦 Shipped with care. Ready to root and rule.
🥶 COLD WEATHER WARNING
It’s officially “Don’t Let Your Plants Die” Season.
Winter’s creeping in like an overwatered fungus gnat — and your tropicals, succulents, and carnivorous cuties are not here for the frostbite.
🔥 Plant Heat Pads are in stock
Perfect for boxes of babies in transit or giving your windowsill darlings a cozy, root-warming spa experience.
COLD CLIMATES - ADD HEAT PACK
We strongly advise to include a Heat Pack (available on our shop) in order to protect the plant from temperature extremes. Any order that does NOT have a heat pack is not covered by the live plant guarantee.
Plant Sizing Guide
What Size Am I Getting? Let's Break It Down.
We get it—plant sizes can be confusing. Is a “small” the size of a golf ball or a grapefruit? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Below is a quick guide to help you understand what each size means when shopping our plants. Measurements refer to the plant body, not including the pot (unless noted).
Tiny
- Baby plants or starter plugs. May be rooted or freshly cut. 0.5"–1.5" wide.
- Example: Butterwort plug, small seedling
Small
- Young plant, well-rooted, 1.5"–3" wide or tall.
- Example: Aeonium cutting, sundew cluster
Medium
- Established plant, 3"–5" wide/tall. Ready for repotting or display.
- Example: 2–3 year-old cactus, flowering flytrap
Large
- Mature plant, 5"–8" wide/tall. Great for centerpieces or statement planters.
- Example: Dioscorea elephantipes, pitcher plant
XL (Collector Size)
- Rare or mature specimen, 8"+ or unusually large or sculptural in form.
- Example: Caudex giants, multi-head aeoniums
📦 Note:
- Pot sizes (if included) are listed separately on product pages.
- Some species naturally stay small—even large ones might only be a few inches wide. Check individual listings for details.
- Photos are of representative plants—your plant may vary slightly (because nature’s not into clones).
