Please find for sale 15+ Aloe Vera seeds  - a fantastically popular  species worldwide both as an attractive plant and a multi billion pound business for its medicinal uses.

As it is not frost hardy, in the UK it is mainly grown as a potted houseplant where it will be very happy on a sunny window sill. It can however spend its summer in the garden.

As I know from my own pain (I killed my own favorite Aloe Vera plant by overwatering), aside from good light, the most important factor in growing this plant is to use free draining compost and only water when the plant has completely dried out.

The plant stores its reserves of moisture in a clear gel like substance within its leaves - and for millennia it is this gel that has been used directly on the skin as a salve - to extract it is as simple as cutting off a leaf and slicing it in half!

Germination Guide 

• Prepare a seed tray or individual pots with a moist, gritty, free-draining compost. Gently firm down and level the surface. Scatter your seeds over the surface, taking care not to sow them too thickly
• Potting mix should be moist but not wet
• Gently sprinkle a thin layer of vermiculite or fine grit over the seeds, covering the whole surface of the compost. Leave the pot in a greenhouse or on a warm windowsill, loosely covered with a clear plastic bag to preserve soil moisture.
• Seedlings will develop within a few weeks. Remove the plastic bag and water when the compost becomes dry, but spray the surface with water regularly, to keep it moist.
• Transplant / pot on the seedlings carefully the following spring using seedlings to avoid the spikes
• Fill around the seedling with compost and water well. Add more compost if necessary and then use the spoon to arrange gravel around the seedling. Keep in a sunny spot such as a windowsill, and pot on as and when you need to.
• Allow the compost to dry out completely over winter to reduce the risk of rot.
