Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a succulent perennial prized for its medicinal gel-filled leaves and remarkable ease of cultivation as both a garden plant and houseplant. This attractive succulent forms rosettes of thick, fleshy gray-green leaves with serrated edges, reaching 12-24 inches tall and spreading through offsets to create attractive clumps.
The clear, mucilaginous gel inside the leaves has been used for thousands of years to soothe burns, heal wounds, moisturize skin, and treat various ailments, making it one of the most valuable medicinal plants for home gardens. Fresh gel can be applied directly to minor burns, sunburns, and skin irritations, or blended into smoothies and health drinks for internal benefits. Tall flower spikes bearing tubular yellow or orange blooms appear periodically, adding ornamental appeal and attracting hummingbirds.
Aloe vera thrives in full sun to bright indirect light with well-drained, sandy soil and minimal water, making it ideal for water-wise gardens, containers, and indoor cultivation. Perfect for medicinal gardens, succulent collections, and anyone seeking low-maintenance plants with practical healing applications.
