Aloe Vera\u2019s healing and medicinal properties have been recorded since the time of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the studied health benefits of using Aloe Vera include anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and the ability to heal wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fully mature Aloe Vera succulent can reach a height of 61cm (24\u201d) and a width of 61cm (24\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aloe Vera is native to Africa, Madagascar, India, and the Middle East. It goes by different names such as Flower of the Desert, Mediterranean Aloe, Urguentine cactus, Lily of the Desert, Elephant\u2019s Gall, and Barbados Aloe. The most commonly used alias is Medicinal Aloe. It is part of the Asphodelaceae family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_46 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\"><\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"ez-toc-toggle-icon-1\"><label for=\"item-69f1e4a3640df\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><span style=\"display: flex;align-items: center;width: 35px;height: 30px;justify-content: center;direction:ltr;\"><svg style=\"fill: #36af73;color:#36af73\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #36af73;color:#36af73\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/label><input  type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item-69f1e4a3640df\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/aloe-vera\/#general-information\" title=\"General Information:\">General Information:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/aloe-vera\/#how-to-grow-and-care-for-aloe-vera\" title=\"How to Grow and Care for Aloe Vera\">How to Grow and Care for Aloe Vera<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/aloe-vera\/#how-to-propagate-aloe-vera\" title=\"How to Propagate Aloe Vera\">How to Propagate Aloe Vera<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/it\/aloe-vera\/#frequently-asked-questions\" title=\"Frequently Asked Questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"general-information\"><\/span>General Information:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also known as:<\/strong> Medicinal Aloe, Flower of the Desert, Mediterranean Aloe, Urguentine cactus, Lily of the Desert, Elephant\u2019s Gall, and Barbados Aloe.<br><strong>Plant Family:<\/strong> Asphodelaceae<br><strong>Origin: <\/strong>Africa, Madagascar, India, and the Middle East.<br><strong>Height<\/strong>: 61cm (24\u201d)<br><strong>Exposure: <\/strong>Partial or direct morning sun for up to 6 hours<br><strong>Water Needs:<\/strong> Drought-tolerant; give water only when the soil has completely dried out.<br><strong>Soil Type:<\/strong> Cactus mix with gravel, sand or pumice.<br><strong>S<\/strong>o<strong>il pH:<\/strong> 7.0 to 8.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-grow-and-care-for-aloe-vera\"><\/span>How to Grow and Care for Aloe Vera<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-plant.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-plant.png 800w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-plant-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-plant-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-plant-585x293.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aloe Vera is grown as a houseplant and can be found in many bathrooms and kitchens. In warmer and more tropical climates, Medicinal Aloe is grown outdoors in a garden or as a container plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aloe Vera is one of the easiest succulent plant varieties to grow and care for because it is drought tolerant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medicinal Aloe requires less watering than other succulent plants. It is not a cold-hardy succulent and thrives in regions where temperatures are at a minimum of -6.7\u00b0 C (20\u00b0 F).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aloe Vera grows well under partial or direct sunlight. As a garden or an outdoor container plant, make sure Medicinal Aloe gets at least 6 hours of morning sunlight every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In regions where temperatures fall below -6.7\u00b0 C (20\u00b0 F), we recommend growing Aloe Vera as an indoor plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the potted plant near a window that gets 3 to 6 hours of morning sunlight every day. You can also put Medicinal Aloe under a Grow Light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Overwatering Aloe will lead to its demise. Only give it water when the soil has completely dried out. The soak and dry method is the best way to water Aloe Vera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To test the moisture level of the soil, insert a stick an inch into the topsoil. Pull out the stick and check if its end is dry. If you are satisfied with the test result, give the soil a thorough soaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the colder months, the soil will hold moisture longer so the watering schedule must be less frequent compared to months when the climate will be warmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pot and Soil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to grow Medicinal Aloe in a pot, choose one that\u2019s made of ceramic or terracotta. These types of pots are the most ideal to grow succulent plants in because they allow for the proper evaporation of moisture from the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of the pot must be big enough to allow the roots to grow properly. If the pot is too small, the roots will end up tangled and the soil will not have proper air circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cactus mix is the ideal soil variety for Aloe Vera because it is well-draining. To improve drainage, add ingredients such as gravel, sand, and pumice. Fertilize the soil once a month during the Spring to give the succulent a growth boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drainage is important because you cannot leave the roots of a succulent plant immersed in moist conditions for a long time. Otherwise, the roots will rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-propagate-aloe-vera\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-propagate-aloe-vera\"><\/span><strong>How to Propagate Aloe Vera<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-propagate.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-propagate.png 800w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-propagate-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-propagate-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.aboutsucculents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Aloe-Vera-propagate-585x293.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Horticulturists love Debbie because the succulent plant offers 4 ways to propagate the species: Stem and leaf cuttings, offsets, and seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is only one way to propagate Aloe Vera and that is with its offsets.

The rotting will lead to fungal growth that will infect the entire plant. You might notice that the leaves or the stems of Medicinal Aloe turning brown or blackish.<br\/><br\/>If you see discoloration, you must act right away. Cut off these infected parts by using a sharpened and sterilized pair of garden scissors or a knife.<br\/><br\/>Then, remove the plant from the soil. Shake off the excess soil and examine the roots for signs of advanced rotting. Cut off the rotted roots with the garden scissors.<br\/><br\/>Place the plant in a warm area and let it dry out. Prepare a new home for Medicinal Aloe by filling a pot with cactus soil. Replant Aloe Vera and water the soil only when it has dried out completely.<br\/><br\/><strong>Pest Infestation<\/strong><br\/><br\/>Mealybugs, aphids, and mites can infest Aloe Vera and drain the plant of nutritious sap.
