This succulent stores water in its leaves, so overwatering can actually harm it. Water only when the soil is completely dry.
4. It Needs Bright, Indirect Sunlight
Aloe vera thrives in sunny windowsills but can burn if exposed to direct sunlight for too long.
5. It Can Help With Skin Conditions
Aloe vera gel is widely used in skincare to relieve eczema, acne, and psoriasis due to its soothing and moisturizing effects.
6. It’s Easy to Propagate
Aloe vera produces “pups” or baby plants that can be separated and replanted, giving you an endless supply of aloe.
7. It Has Digestive Benefits (When Used Safely)
Aloe vera juice, when prepared correctly and consumed in moderation, can aid digestion and relieve constipation.
8. Not All Aloe Products Are Pure
Many store-bought aloe gels contain additives. Using fresh gel from your own plant ensures purity and effectiveness.
