The blue krantz aloe is found from the Strydpoort Mountains near Polokwane in Limpopo down to krantzes surrounding Johannesburg in Gauteng.[3]
The blue krantz aloe is often found on steep, rocky cliff faces with its stems hanging down.[3]
As of 2019, it has been assessed as Least Concern by SANBI due to its widespread range and its preferred and isolated habitat of steep cliffs.[3]
