Aloe vera is a succulent plant that belongs to the Asphodelaceae family. It is native to the Arabian Peninsula, but is now widely cultivated in many parts of the world for its medicinal and ornamental properties.

The plant features fleshy, green leaves that are often toothed along the edges and can grow up to 2 feet in length. The leaves are filled with a clear, gel-like substance that is used in a variety of cosmetic, medicinal, and culinary applications. A mature plant can produce tall stalks with clusters of small, tubular, yellow or orange flowers during the summer months.

Aloe vera is a relatively easy plant to care for and is commonly grown as a houseplant. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. The plant requires bright, indirect sunlight and should be protected from harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Aloe vera can also be grown outdoors in warm, dry climates and is drought-tolerant once established.
