Aloe Vera 'Barbadensis Mill'
Aloe Vera 'Barbadensis Mill'
The Aloe Vera—nature’s very own first-aid kit on a windowsill! This plucky little plant is more than just a pretty face. With its juicy, spiky leaves, Aloe Vera is as functional as it is stylish, ready to soothe burns and skin irritations faster than you can say “Oops, I touched the curling iron!”
Care Level: Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Aloe Vera is perfect for busy plant parents or those who are a bit forgetful with watering. It thrives on neglect, preferring to dry out between waterings. Just give it a good drink every 3 weeks or when the soil feels like the Sahara.
Pet Safety: Keep your fur babies in mind, as Aloe Vera is a no-go for nibbling. It’s toxic to cats and dogs, so better keep it out of paw’s reach.
Light Needs: Sun worshipper alert! Aloe loves bright, indirect sunlight. A spot near a south or west-facing window will make it one happy camper.
Bonus Tips: Not a fan of repotting? No worries! Aloe Vera likes a snug fit, so you don’t need to upgrade its space too often. Plus, it’s a champ at air purification, making it not just decorative but also a healthy addition to your home.
