Aloe Vera is a hardy succulent known for its soothing gel-filled leaves. This low-maintenance plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. Water sparingly—allow soil to dry completely between waterings, typically every 2–3 weeks. In winter, reduce watering further. Place in a warm location away from cold drafts. Aloe tolerates neglect well, making it ideal for beginners. Harvest gel by cutting mature outer leaves at the base and squeezing the clear inner gel directly onto skin for natural moisturizing and soothing relief. Repot every 2–3 years as the plant grows.
