Aloe vera is a succulent plant originally native to the Arabian Peninsula, though it now grows in warm climates around the world. It has thick, fleshy leaves filled with a soothing gel often used for skin care.
To care for aloe vera, place it in bright, indirect sunlight and use well-draining soil. Water it sparingly—only when the soil is completely dry—since overwatering can cause root rot. Aloe vera thrives in warm temperatures and doesn’t need frequent fertilizing, making it an easy, low-maintenance plant.
