The
most popular species of this member of the lily family are rosette
-forming,
low-growing forms. A very un-demanding variety, Aloe is a popular choice for
window boxes and well-lit indoor locations. Take care not to over-water, and
feed lightly and rarely in summer with cactus food.
The juices of an aloe plant can help heal and soothe burns. Just cut off a stem,
apply, and let dry!
