Aloe Vera has been with man for more than 5000 years.
Regardless of the time or the place, its uses though varied have always remained the same. Man has always counted on Aloe Vera’s digestive, dermatological and cosmetic virtues as well as its culinary qualities.
However it was only from 1968 onwards following a discovery by a Texan chemist Bill Coats that the commercial growing of Aloe Vera really took off.
Today it is grown and used in numerous regions throughout the world.

Finally, Aloe Vera is also a plant that cleanses the air against pollutants such as carbon monoxide, benzene and toluene.


How to grow Aloe Vera:

Aloe Vera is a succulent, meaning that it is fleshy plant best adapted to arid conditions.
- It is therefore best not watered too much especially in winter.
- The soil needs to be well drained so that any possible water logging around the roots is avoided.
- If growing in pots chose a pot to suit the size of the plant. A fifteen litre pot or planter will usually suffice.
- As soon as the temperature is likely to fall below 5°C bring your plant into the conservatory or into a bright room.
- Aloe Vera really needs a lot of light.
- However do be careful not to place it next to a sunny window where its leaves could get burnt by the sun.
