Aloe Vera, the Beauty of a Home Herb Garden
Aloe Vera, the Beauty of a Home Herb Garden
Aloe vera (pronounced ah-LOW-vrah) is a succulent plant species belonging to the family of Aloes, which are native to the Mediterranean regions of North Africa and the Middle East. An evergreen tree, it also originates in the Arabian Peninsula, where it thrives in semi-tropical climates, but prefers arid conditions. In fact, it is now grown for medical and agricultural purposes all over the world. Although a very popular herb, it has only recently become popular as a source of cosmetic products.
Aloe vera's unique property is its ability to produce an acidic juice when injured or cut. The juice contains many nutrients that are beneficial to human health. These include:
The most important part of Aloe, however, is the plant itself. Aloe is an epiphyte - a type of plant that grows from underground roots and spreads by spreading roots to other plants. Aloes do not have true leaves, but they do have a green, spiny stem that can be twisted, or twisted so you can easily grow a plant in pots or on a windowsill.
There are several ways to care for your plant. You can keep it indoors in a glass box that will keep out cold drafts and humidity; you can place it out on the patio and keep an eye on it during the warmer months; you can even grow the plant inside and let the sun shine through it in the winter months. As long as it is watered regularly, you should have no problems.
If you want to add a little more to the flavor of your plant, you can add the juice to other dishes and drinks. Popular recipes include salads, soups, puddings, and sauces. Because Aloe does not taste very good straight off the plant, you might consider using the juice in cooking.
Aloe vera has so many uses and benefits. It doesn't matter what type of herb garden you live in, it is a great option. Whether it's for beauty purposes or medicinal purposes, you will find that Aloe is truly an incredible addition to your garden.
If you are a gardener and do not own your own garden, you can purchase the plant from many retailers who specialize in plants. Some of these retailers even offer a garden club where you can buy a bunch of different herbs from them for a low price. If you live close enough to the nearest store, you can even buy a bunch from them, which is great because you can save a bunch of money if you shop around.
Another great addition to a house is a plant stand. If you have a large home, you can set up a small plant stand in a corner or on a table so your plant will always be out in view. You can watch your plant grow and enjoy all the colors it brings to your home, whether it is blue purple, green, red, or orange.
There are also stands made specifically for containers. They allow you to grow your Aloe plant in a container that is easy to maintain and doesn't require much maintenance. You can also use these for growing herbs in pots, like you would in a window, or in pots.
