Aloidendron dichotomum features quite prominently in gardens all over South Africa and other countries with a similar climate. In wetter parts of South Africa such as the Western Cape, these plants are able to cope provided that the drainage is good enough to prevent rotting in the wet winters. A position in a hot and dry rock garden is best if one wants to grow this aloe in open ground.

Plants such as Cotyledon orbiculata, Crassula rupestris, Cyphostemma juttae, and Tylecodon paniculata are special companion plants to quiver trees and will completely transform any garden. Alternatively, quiver trees can be grown in large containers. This is very rewarding as beautiful specimens can be positioned to enhance certain areas. Always use a good quality, loamy sandy soil with plenty of drainage chips at the bottom of containers. Bone meal is mixed into the soil to help feed the fleshy roots of plants.

Plants can be grown from seeds planted in autumn, (March, April) in trays of coarse river sand. Truncheons can also be used for propagation. Truncheons must be dried out for at least 3 weeks before planting in river sand. This is quite a difficult alternative and success is not always guaranteed.
