Description: Aloe vera barbadensis Miller is noted to be the edible variety of Aloe Vera. It has thick, wide, fleshy upright leaves which are gray-green in colour, and are arranged in a very distinct circular rosette form.

The younger leaves are spotted with white flecks or streaks, just like the non-edible variety, but these markings disappear as the leaves get older. The mature leaves are plain in colour, without any white spots or streaks.

This variety produces yellow flowers, which are different from the non-edible variety that has orange flowers.

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species of the genus Aloe. Having many medicinal uses, Aloe is an evergreen perennial that prefers a bright, sunny place otherwise it will go dormant and stop growing. Water the plant heavily about once every two weeks, waiting until the soil dries out fully. Being a desert species, keeping the dirt moist will cause the roots to rot. Limp or brown leaves also signal you've overdone the H20.  

Aloe for health

Topically, Aloe Vera helps heal burns due to its soothing, moisturising and cooling properties. Aloe has also been used to help clear acne.

Planting Info
Full sun to part shade. Allow plenty of room as plant spreads. Water deeply but infrequently to avoid root rot.  Mature aloe vera plants often produce offsets also known as plantlets, pups, or “babies". They can be removed to produce an new plants.
