Aloe vera or aloe vera grows in temperate and subtropical zones, supporting medium-high temperatures and dry climates. This plant has been discovering multiple uses that make it very attractive, due to its medicinal contribution.
Aloe vera needs little water and should not be overrun, because it will rot. It is best to water only once a week or every 15 days, depending on how dry the land is.
The soil must be sandy, a little acidic and very well drained. Aloe vera requires exposure to full sun and resists drought very well but is very sensitive to excess moisture and cold.
For this plant to have healing properties we must expect it to be adult (between 3-4 years). It is a plant with infinite uses such as for the treatment of burns.
If possible, plant several aloe vera in a large pot as this plant grows best in a group
