A very easy and striking houseplant that no home should be without. It will thrive in any room or even on a patio in the summer. These plants originate in desert environments and so thrive in a sunny spot and don't require a lot of watering. Fresh in this week, these larger aloe vera are looking nice and full, just as pictured and are approximately 3 years old

Additional Information about this plant...
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera
The name Aloe Vera or True Aloe probably stems from the Arabic word Alloeh meaning "Shining bitter substance".
No fruit or flowers
These plants are very easy to care for and can develop over years into sizeable indoor plants. As they mature they will also self-propagate, developing small plantlets alongside the parent plant.
Most botanists agree, and historical evidence suggests, that the Aloe Vera plant originated in the warm, dry climates of Africa. Many believe that a Sumerian clay tablet, found in the city of Nippur, written around B.C.E. 2200, was the first document to include Aloe Vera among plants of great healing power. The first detailed discussion of Aloe's medicinal value is probably that which is found in the Papyrus ebers, an Egyptian document written around B.C.E. 1550.
Season: Jan to Dec
Current medical research suggests that aloe vera has been greatly underestimated in modern medicine. Aloe vera is now being used as effective alternative treatment for everything from toothache to acne, to IBS to oral herpes. In the home, snap the leaves
How to Look After our Plants
Looking After Your Aloe Vera
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
This little aloe vera plant is valued for its astounding skin-soothing properties. To soothe minor burns, bee stings and sunburn cut a piece off the tips and apply the cooling aloe ‘gel’ to the skin.
The Aloe Vera is a succulent, used to hot dry conditions. In the home, it is surprisingly easy to care for. It’s not frost tolerant, so better suited to the kitchen or the bathroom rather than the garden. It will tolerate a cool room but will not be happy in a dark room or conditions under 8°C.
Aloe Vera are quite slow growers and their size can easily be contained by a small pot. To encourage growth repot your plant once a year. You may also find that your over time your plant produces ‘suckers’ or young aloe vera plants at the base of the mother plant. If desired these can also be gently removed and repotted in ordinary potting compost to produce a whole new generation of plants.
Aloe Veras are pretty resistant to neglect. However, if your plant does start looking sorry for itself, pull off any dead or soft leaves and move to a sunnier position. Brown leaves or tips of the leaves can be a sign of under watering so try watering more regularly. On the flip side, mould at the base or the bottom of the leaves is a sign of over watering or too damp a position, so try a sunnier, airier room and let it dry out for a good week or two before watering.
