Aloe

 My Aloe Vera plant was a recent investment about a year ago, my main plant has grown quite a bit since I have had it. Aloe is a type of succulent plant which means its leaves hold water. The water is turned into a gel by the leaves, this gel has many beneficial uses. The most common uses of Aloe are as a sunburn relief, skin care, helps heal wounds faster, you can even eat it by mixing it with water that helps with heartburn and other digestive issues. This plant grows pretty quickly and sometimes sends off shoots of offspring (as pictured on the right). It does well in most settings, but I usually keep mine by a window to get decent sunlight. This is an easy plant to grow and keep alive that also doubles as a natural medicine.
