Tiger tooth aloe is distinguished by its stems, which can grow 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) long, initially upright before arching over. These stems are densely adorned with bright green, toothy-margined leaves exhibiting lighter green to white flecks on both surfaces. The leaves form tight rosettes at the stem's tips. Under full sun exposure, the foliage can acquire reddish to brown hues. This succulent tends to sucker extensively, creating a dense mat or cascading over edges. When it does flower, typically mid to late summer, it displays orange-red blooms atop an unbranched spike. It thrives in well-drained soils and requires moderate watering.
