Aloe Vera is nature's healing gel plant — the clear gel inside each thick, fleshy leaf soothes sunburn, dry skin, and minor irritations on contact. Simply break off a leaf, slice it open, and apply the gel directly to skin. This large specimen (Ø24cm pot, 70cm tall) is equally striking as a statement houseplant: architectural, sun loving, and virtually indestructible.
Healing & Wellness Uses
- Apply fresh Aloe gel directly to sunburn, minor burns, or skin irritation for rapid soothing relief
- Natural moisturiser — use on dry skin, chapped lips, or after shaving
- Widely used in cosmetics, skincare creams, and health drinks
- One of the world's most studied medicinal plants, with over 6,000 years of recorded use
Care Guide
- Light: Full sun to bright indirect light — south or west-facing window ideal
- Watering: Allow soil to dry out fully between waterings; reduce to once every 3–4 weeks in winter
- Soil: Free-draining cactus or succulent compost; roots must not sit in water
- Temperature: 15–27°C; keep above 10°C in winter; thrives in Irish homes year round with good light
- Feeding: Light feed with cactus fertiliser once or twice during summer
Important: Aloe Vera gel is safe for topical skin use, but the plant is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets. For pet-friendly plants, see our Pet Safe Plants collection.
