aloe vera are very useful little creatures to have around the house, especially if you are trying to reduce the amount of chemicals and toxins that are exposed and live more naturally.

In Britain, aloe vera plants are going to find inside your home instead of in your garden (unless you have a greenhouse), as they are desert plants and, as you may have noticed, not England is. Aloe vera plants like a nice place, sunny and well drained, but I hate frost. They do not need a lot of food and should not be too watered.

In general, what is the gel used. Get the gel is easy. Simply snap off a large outer leaves of their leaves (OK, if you want to be scientific and technical, which is fitting, stems, real leaves are small pieces of art along the edges.)
