Description

Aloe vera is an ever-popular succulent with fleshy green leaves. It serves a dual purpose in your home- both as a beautiful decorative plant, and a free constant source of aloe vera juice, which can be used to rub on scrapes and burns. However, it should not be ingested.

As with other succulents, care is very easy. They enjoy bright, but indirect sunlight- too much sun will cause its leaves to brown and die off, which will let you know it needs more shade. Allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings, and be sure not to overwater. It is a succulent, after all, and it won’t like a lot of water.
