Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a species of Aloe, native to Northern Africa. It is a stem less or very short-stemmed succulent plant growing to 30-36 inches tall, spreading by offsets and root sprouts. Aloe Vera has long been a popular houseplant. Often called the ‘miracle plant’ or the ‘natural healer’, Aloe Vera is a plant of many surprises. It flourishes in warm and dry climates, and to many people it looks like a cactus with fleshy thorny leaves

. In fact it is a member of the Lily family, staying moist where other plants wither and die by closing its pores to prevent moisture loss. There are over 400 species of Aloe, but it is the Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera or “true Aloe”) plant which has been of most use to mankind because of the medicinal properties it displays. Fully grown, the plant stands 30-36 inches high, and a mature leaf is 2.5-3 inches wide at the base, weighing 1.5 to 2 kg.
