About this plant
Aloe vera forms a rosette of thick, grey-green, toothed leaves that store water and the gel that made its reputation. Grown since antiquity around the Mediterranean, it is at home in Morocco.
Potted on a sunny windowsill, on a balcony or planted in a dry garden, it asks only for sun and a very free-draining mix. Winter waterings can be counted on one hand.
A useful, graphic, trouble-free plant, best in a terracotta pot.
