“Aloe barbadensis”
PLANT AVAILABILITY: Year-round
Aloe Vera is renowned for its soothing, hydrating, and healing properties. The gel inside its thick leaves is widely used for treating burns, wounds, and skin irritations due to its anti-inflammatory and cooling effects. It also promotes digestion, supports the immune system, and has antibacterial properties. Often found in skincare and haircare products, Aloe Vera helps to moisturize the skin, reduce redness, and encourage cell regeneration for a healthy glow. Internally, it can be consumed in small amounts to support gut health and hydration.
Season: Perennial, best grown in warm climates
Soil: Well-draining, sandy or loamy soil
Watering: Drought-tolerant; water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between waterings
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Fertilizing: Light feeder; occasional compost or diluted liquid fertilizer
Use: Fresh gel for skincare, burns, digestive health, and hair treatments
Growing tips: Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Ideal for pots or garden beds in frost-free areas. Can be propagated easily from offsets (pups).
