Aloe striata is naturally found in South Africa growing in the dry regions of the Western and Eastern Cape provenances on rocky hillsides from the coast to the arid valleys at an altitude from 250m to 2,200m (7,300 ft). 

It prefers a very well drained moderately fertile sandy-stony soil in an open to exposed sunny position and is frost and drought tolerant. 

Coral Aloe is grown for its flowers and its attractive foliage. It is planted in small or arid gardens along front borders or used in sunny rockeries. It is also planted in patio pots and planter boxes or used in roof gardens and is suitable for coastal and low-mountain regions. It establishes in 3-5 years and is moderately long lived. Under cultivation it will tolerate regular rain during summer but is very drought hardy. ID 3725
