Aloe vera is a true superstar of the houseplant world! This easy-to-care-for succulent boasts beautiful, spiky green foliage and a treasure trove of benefits inside its leaves. The clear gel found within the leaves has been used for centuries to soothe sunburns, minor cuts, and skin irritations.
More than just a medicine cabinet staple, Aloe Vera adds a touch of modern elegance to any space. Its architectural form and cool-to-the-touch leaves bring a bit of desert flair to your indoor oasis.
Care Instructions
The Aloe Vera is a low-maintenance champion, perfect for busy plant parents:
Light:Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sun as well.
Water:Water deeply when the soil is completely dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Humidity:Adapts to average household humidity levels.
Toxicity:While generally safe, the clear gel inside the leaves can be a laxative in large doses. Keep out of reach of pets and children.
Bellr Bonus Tip:
Harvest the aloe vera gel by carefully cutting a mature leaf from the plant's base. Split the leaf open and scoop out the gel. Apply it topically to soothe minor skin irritations.
