Aloe vera, also known as True aloe, Barbados aloe, Burn aloe, Chinese aloe, Medicinal aloe, Indian aloe
Aloe vera is a succulent that thrives in conditions that mimic its native desert habitat. It requires minimal water, with thorough watering only when the soil has completely dried out. Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal for aloe vera to flourish. One special care point is that aloe vera is sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot. As a result, it's crucial to ensure proper drainage in its potting mix.
