Often called the "Medicine Plant, "Miracle Plant" or the "Natural Healer", Aloe Vera is a plant of many surprises. It flourishes in warm and dry climates, and many people mistake it for a cactus, but in fact it is a member of the Lily family. It stays moist where other plants would wilt and die, closing its pores to prevent the loss of moisture.
A miniature aloe with thick pale green leaves which are heavily mottled with white rectangles. Sap is used on burns. Under high light conditions, the more white it gets. Mature height is 4-6 inches. Perfect for sunny windows. Can tolerate some neglect.
