Aloe maculata, commonly known as Spotted Aloe, is a striking and easy-to-grow succulent distinguished by its fleshy, green leaves adorned with white or pale-colored spots and markings. The leaves are often serrated along the edges with tiny white teeth, creating a textured and decorative appearance. This hardy Aloe forms rosettes and is well-suited for containers, rock gardens, or landscape accents. It thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and requires minimal watering, making it a popular choice for low-maintenance succulent collections.

Etymology: The name "maculata" comes from the Latin "maculatus," meaning "spotted" or “stained,” which directly references the characteristic white or pale spots that decorate the plant’s leaves, highlighting its distinctive, speckled appearance.
