Aloe Vera - Rooted Plant/Pup - 8-16 inches - Medicinal, Air Purifier, Ornamental

Description: Aloe Vera - Rooted Plant/Pup - 8-16 inches - Medicinal, Air Purifier, Ornamental People have been growing aloe vera plants for literally thousands of years. It is one of the more recognizable and widely grown houseplants, and one of the most widely used medicinal plants on the planet. This native of Africa is a succulent in the genus of the same name (Aloe), in which there are over 180 species. The plant sports beautiful, thick leaves fashioned in a rosette form. While frequently seen as a houseplant, aloe vera may also be grown outdoors in warmer regions. Where to Grow Aloe Vera While aloe is generally grown as a houseplant, it can survive in some zones outdoors. Its native range is in the arid tropical regions of Africa. In more local terms, Aloe barbadensis is hardy to United States Department of Agriculture zones 8-11. As such, it has little tolerance to freezing conditions and must be grown indoors in cooler areas. Aloe is hardy to 26 degrees Fahrenheit (-3 C) for brief periods, but it will not survive a sustained freeze.Aloe vera prefers a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. The tough skin of the leaves is able to withstand even harsh solar rays without burning. If you’re growing your aloe indoors (and are in the Northern hemisphere), set it in a southern or western window so it receives plenty of sun. Container houseplants may be moved outdoors for the summer. In ground plants should be planted in well draining soil, in full sun. Container grown plants are very adaptable to being crowded. If kept in a confined pot, the plant will stay small. If re-potted into larger containers, over the years it will grow to its maximum size. No matter where the aloe plant is grown, it will still need a full sun situation. While plants in partial shade won’t necessarily die, they won’t flourish, either. They will not produce flowers, the leaves will stretch and get limp, and the color will suffer. Shade situations can also cause excess moisture that could encourage root rot, which will kill the plant.Read more at Gardening Know How: Aloe Vera Plant Care – How To Grow An Aloe Plant https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/aloe-vera/aloe-vera-plant-care.htmItem specificsSeller Notes“New”ClimateSub-tropicalCommon NameAloe VeraColorGreen, PinkIndoor/OutdoorOutdoorGrowth HabitClumpingMPNnaSoil TypeChalk, Clay, Loam, Peat, Saline, Sand, SiltBrandCactusSeason of InterestSpring, SummerPlant FormBare RootTypeCacti & Succulents, HouseplantsGrowth StageVegetativeWateringLightGenusAloeNumber in Pack1Growth RateSlowSunlightMedium SunFoliagenaFeaturesAir PurifyingSafetyThornsCountry/Region of ManufactureUnited States
