Aloe vera is a succulent plant known for its thick, fleshy leaves filled with a soothing gel. Native to the Arabian Peninsula, Aloe vera has spread globally, thriving in arid climates. Its green to grey-green leaves, which grow in a rosette pattern, are lance-shaped with serrated edges and can reach up to 39 inches in length. Historically, Aloe vera has been used in traditional medicine, revered by ancient Egyptians as the "plant of immortality" and employed in Ayurvedic and Chinese healing practices. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil, with infrequent watering, making it an ideal indoor or outdoor plant. Beyond its decorative appeal, Aloe vera is celebrated for its healing properties, particularly the gel used to soothe burns, cuts, and skin irritations. The plant also aids in air purification and boasts anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting benefits, making it a versatile addition to any home.
