Aloe Vera (12cm)

Aloe Vera Barbadensis is an indoor plant that is popular for its recognisable look and medicinal benefits. This evergreen perennial bears green foliage that is maintained all-year-round. The spine that runs up each leaf adds to its appearance, as well as the tubular, greenish-yellow flowers that grow in Summer. Aloe Vera cuttings allow access to the helpful gel inside. It is a great tool for healing and softening skin. It is also known as one of the easiest plants to care for, making it ideal for even the most novice of growers.

Growing to an ultimate height and spread of 0.5 - 1m, it is best grown as a houseplant in the UK and is a great space filler for your home. You should place the plant in full sun or partial shade, make sure its soil is loam or sand-based and kept well-drained. Once the plant establishes itself in its new surroundings, it will need minimal water to thrive.
