Aloe Vera
Botanical Name: Aloe Barbadensis Mill
Common Names: Chinese Aloe, First Aid Plant, Burn Aloe, True Aloe.
The Aloe Vera is a stemless succulent with thick and fleshy leaves that are lined with small teeth making it a great ornamental, low maintenance indoor plant which blooms a yellow tubular flower in the summertime. This plant is widely used around the world as its leaves are considered to be antimicrobial and has been used to treat burns as a topical medication.
NATIVE LAND: Africa, Madagascar, and the Arabian Peninsula
WATER: Water sparingly as you would other succulents. Water plant once per month, allowing to drain well immediately after watering.
LIGHT: Bright, indirect sunlight (or, artificial sunlight). However, aloe vera doesn’t appreciate sustained direct sunlight, as this tends to dry out the plant too much and turn its leaves yellow. Aloe that is kept in low light often grows leggy.

leggy growth or bedding leaves - insufficient sunlight
leaves turning brown and mushy- overwatering/over-loving.
