There may be no live succulent plant as storied as Aloe Vera, revered through the ages for its health, beauty, medicinal and skin care uses (even Cleopatra was said to be a fan - yes, that Cleopatra). With its thick, fleshy, lance-shaped leaves, Aloe Vera is a striking, tropical-style, drought-tolerant houseplant or garden plant that adds life to your home and garden decor. When the weather warms up, you can place this versatile succulent on your patio or porch, if you dwell in a place where frost is not a concern, Aloe Vera can live and thrive outside year-round. Thanks to its ability to store water, Aloe Vera can go longer between waterings that many other plants, especially traditional houseplants. Along with tolerating drought, this architecturally compelling succulent thrives with little care. While feeding is not essential, you can give your Aloe Vera a boost by feeding in spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Smart Planet offers a remarkable selection of drought-tolerant plants that are not only easier to care for, they’re mindful of our planet too.
