Also known as Aloe Barbadensis, Aloe Vera are the epitome of cooling and caring houseplants. Known for their soothing properties, curing sunburns and other ailments, Aloe are stylish succulents with sleek silhouettes. Recognisable from spotted grey-green fleshy upright and repeating leaf blades with serrated edges.

These easy-care houseplants are low maintenance and will do well when forgotten. Native to North Africa, Southern Europe and the Canary Islands, these Aloe are used to hot equatorial climates, often growing quite large and unruly. Tolerant of hot, dry environments, these houseplants are ideal when potted, thriving in normal household conditions.
