 ... in a small pot the restricted roots will limit the leaf growth. The plants do flower although rarely they have to have ideal conditions for this to happen so I wouldnt buy them for flowers just think of it as a bonus if you get some. The plants can be grown as houseplants and are quite nice as they have a different appearance to most. But do be careful not to overwater them as the roots will rot with too much water. Also place them in a window with lots of light and protect from frosts. Generally given that you p...more

Aloe Vera is a rather unusual although well known desert plant. It comes with dark green thick leaves that fill with water so they can survive the harsh deserts.

Aloe vera is a succulent type of plant - which means it has fleshy leaves that store water, surrounded by a tough and leathery leaf cuticle.

After looking everywhere for the product that I always turn to in times of crisis, Sudocrem, I gave up and went to visit the pharmacy, where the pharmacist ensured me that an Aloe Vera gel, costing around £15 in English money would heal my burns in no time. I must admit that I was a bit sceptical due to the price but was so desperate for some relief that I decided to buy it and was pleasantly surprised by the results.
