You may have heard about the healing properties of aloe vera, and even used it in the form of lotions or skincare. But have you ever grown your own Aloe vera plant? These succulents can be very happy grown as houseplants, enjoying plenty of light, and well-draining soil. You can even take the sap yourself to use: cut off a leaf at the base, cut down its length and you'll be able to apply the sap directly to your skin. And if you just enjoy looking at your plant, that's fine too - enjoy its sculptural shape, and possibly even a flower spike with little yellow flowers in summer. A splash of sun, the occasional water, and your Aloe will be good to grow.

Scientific Name
Aloe vera (true aloe)

Synonyms: Aloe barbadensis, Aloe chinensis, Aloe elongata, Aloe flava, Aloe indica, Aloe lanzae, Aloe littoralis, Aloe maculata, Aloe perfoliata var. vera, Aloe rubescens, Aloe variegata, Aloe vulgaris

Initially known as Aloe perfoliata var. vera, this plant was later found to be a distinct species; it has been known as A. vera since 1768. A few other names have been used and then later found to be the same species.

Common Name
Aloe Vera, Barbados Aloe, Medicinal Aloe, Burn Aloe, First Aid Plant, True Aloe

Origin
Although it has been introduced and naturalised all around the tropics of six continents, the Aloe vera is only actually native to a relatively small area, in the Hajar Mountains of Northern Oman.

Light
Aloes need bright light! Ideally, you should be giving your plant a few hours of direct sunlight per day; your best bet is a South- or West-facing window.

Water
Allow the soil to totally dry out between waters. Reduce watering further in winter to help it cope with the cooler temperatures and lower level of light.

Humidity
Dry air is perfectly fine here; make sure not to keep it somewhere excessively damp as this can make its soil dry out too slowly.

Soil
Use a well-draining soil mix with elements such as sand and grit, such as one designed for cacti and succulents. Ensure that the pot has drainage holes. Repot every few years as the plant grows when necessary; once the roots have totally crowded out the pot, it's time to go up a size.

Food
Fertilise every couple of months throughout the year. Aloes like this one are used to poor-quality soil, so don't worry if you miss a feed - and feeding is less important over winter.

Temperature
Mild temperatures are best here, between 15-25°C. You can grow your Aloe outside in summer, just make sure there's no risk of frost and the temperature is consistently over 10°C at night.

Pet-safe
No - the sap is fine on the skin but the plant contains toxins that can cause issues if eaten.

Sprouts Top Tips
One of the most common issues is overwatering with Aloe plants. Make sure you let the soil dry between waters, and keep an eye out for floppy, yellowing leaves as a warning sign of too much water. Rotate to keep its growth even. Red foliage indicates too much light; oif foliage is pale, it may be getting too little light,

Great addition to my sewing table!
I ordered two of these to give me a little more room on my sewing table. One for the backside and one for the left side. Worked out great! Very sturdy and not hard to install (followed directions). I just extended when I need room and fold when not in use. I would recommend these to anyone who just needs a little more table/room.

Not very sturdy
The oak that this is made of is very nice. The little bit of extra counter space is nice. The problem is the bracket to hold it up is kind of small and flimsy, so the shelf won't bear much weight. It will be ok for putting light things on. Also had a problem getting it to hang flat in the down position.
