Aloe Vera Plant (Aloe barbadensis Miller)
Aloe barbadensis Miller
Plump, architectural succulent rosettes filled with nutrient-rich soothing gel.
About This Botanical
A renowned household companion for centuries, Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera) showcases thick, lance-shaped succulent spears armed with gentle serrated teeth along their margins, radiating symmetrically from a central rosette.
Celebrated for its cooling botanical gel and modern sculptural geometry, Aloe Vera thrives in sun-drenched rooms, windowsills, and bright countertops. It asks for little more than abundant sunshine, well-draining gritty soil, and infrequent, deep watering.

“Why is my Aloe Vera turning brown, pale, or soft?”
