Aloe Vera is an evergreen perennial native to the Arabian Peninsula but grows wild in tropical, semi-tropical, and arid regions worldwide. Known for its decorative appeal, it thrives indoors as a potted plant.

The gel-like pulp of Aloe Vera is widely used in ointments and drinks for its healing properties, particularly for sunburns, eczema, and minor burns. As a drought-tolerant plant, Aloe Vera flourishes in dry conditions. Water it once every three weeks, ensuring the soil is completely dry before watering. In colder climates, it should be kept indoors or in heated glasshouses to protect it from frost and snow.
