Barbados aloe

Plant offsets in very well-drained, dry, sandy to loamy soil in full sun to partial shade — aloe vera is one of the oldest cultivated plants in human history, grown for millennia in tropical and subtropical climates as the premier first-aid plant for minor burns, sunburns, cuts, insect bites, and skin irritation; the clear gel inside the thick, fleshy leaves contains anti-inflammatory and wound-healing compounds including polysaccharides, vitamins, and amino acids. Break off a lower leaf and apply the clear gel directly to burns for immediate cooling relief. In zone 9–12 it grows as an outdoor landscape succulent, tolerating drought, poor soil, reflected heat, and neglect with remarkable resilience; it produces dramatic yellow to orange tubular flower spikes in late winter on established plants. It spreads prolifically by offsets (pups) that form around the base — remove and replant pups to create new plants. Every household and kitchen garden should have one within reach. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 18–24 дюймів Висота: 12–24 дюймів Дні до схожості: 21–42 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–27°C
