Field Notes

Description:

Aloe vera is a plant with succulent leaves that form a rosette. They feature sharp, pinkish spines around their borders and are the supplier of the colorless gel used in many industrial and pharmaceutical items. It is a stemless or very short-stemmed plant that grows to a height of 60–100 cm (24–39 inches) and spreads through offsets. The leaves are thick and meaty, green to grey-green, with white specks on the top and lower stem surfaces of some types.

Habitat:

Irrespective of the environment we live in, this plant is positioned outside in dry conditions outside the house. All they require is an abundance of sunlight, a warm environment, and water to thrive.

Notes:

Aloe vera gel includes potent antioxidants that are part of a wide family of compounds called polyphenols. These polyphenols, including a number of other substances found in aloe vera, assist to limit the bacterial growth that may trigger symptoms in humans. It is widely used as a beauty product and health aspect.
