Aloe catengiana is an easily grown plant and can be propagated by cuttings. Cuttings ranging from 100-150mm in length root rapidly in moist sand during spring or summer. A rooting hormone is not required. The plants grow rapidly, shooting from the base. They can be planted out in containers or on rockeries and a generous application of compost should boost its performance.

Aloe catengiana thrives in dry savanna gardens. It should preferably be grown in full sun. The species proliferates and soon becomes spreading or scandent. It is best grown in well-drained sandy soil and an annual compost dressing will improve its growth performance. When grown in containers the plants should be kept dry in winter and protected from severe frosts. They are fairly pest-free, but will rapidly rot if kept too wet or in poorly drained soil. Aloe catengiana responds well to feeding with organic fertiliser, which should be applied during spring and summer.
