Aloe Vera

Aloe vera plants are great as indoor or house plants. Make sure that you use quality pots with proper drainage holes. Wider pots rather than deeper pots are better because Aloes have a shallow, spreading root system. You should allow the potted aloe vera plants to completely dry out prior to re-watering. Aloe vera becomes dormant in winter, at which time very little moisture is required. Do not expose aloe vera plants to extreme cold temperatures.

There are over 150 species of Aloe Vera, and they are mostly native of South Africa. The aloe vera gel which is gathered from inside the leaf of the aloe vera plant has excellent healing properties especially when applied to cuts and burns. When the aloe vera gel is applied to skin which is sunburnt, the cooling effect of the aloe vera gel gives immediate relief.
