Aloe Vera

The Versatile Succulent

One of the most forgiving and beginner-friendly houseplants you’ll find is an Aloe Vera plant. Great for both outdoors or indoors, it has gained popularity for its striking blue-green, green, or grey-green leaves, health benefits, and air-purifying ability. The leaves of this short-stemmed succulent are thick and fleshy, with some varieties exhibiting white specks on the surface and serrated margins. Matured Aloe Vera plants show a beautiful display of long flowering stems.
