Growing Your Own Aloe Vera
As a plant with a wide variety of uses, aloe vera has become an increasingly popular succulent for home growing. Aloe vera can be grown indoors or outdoors, but keep in mind that aloe is dormant in the winter months and can be severely damaged by frost. Due to unpredictable weather conditions, it may be easier to cultivate aloe vera plants inside, even for gardeners who live in warm weather climates; as a succulent, aloe vera may not root if excessively watered. Regardless of whether you decide to plant inside or outside, be sure to purchase a fast draining soil. Pairing small rocks with the soil will assist in the process of draining the pot so that the plant will not drown or rot. On that note, to determine how often to water your aloe vera, consider the temperature and location of the plant. Fully grown aloe vera plants kept indoors or outside in a cool climate only need to be watered once a month whereas plants grown outdoors in a hot environment may require watering once a week. If you are watering too much or too little, the aloe leaves will shrivel up until they become merely dry husks. Keeping your plant out of direct sunlight will also prevent the leaves from withering and turning brown. Plants indoors should be kept by a window that receives a lot of light but not directly in front of it, and when planting aloe vera outdoors, be sure to plant in an area that is typically shady. Plants kept in direct sunlight may not die, but they will dry out and become more susceptible to disease than healthy plants. On occasion, aloe vera houseplants should be brought outside, weather permitting, to enjoy warmer temperatures. The average indoor temperature of between 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit is a bit chilly for aloe vera plants and may lead to sickly looking leaves. Aloe vera has spreading roots and should be repotted once a year so that it may continue to grow. New shoots developing around the main plant may be planted on their own to create a new aloe vera. In order to assure the cutting will grow into a healthy, adult plant, put the aloe cutting in soil, in a plastic bag for one month then remove it from the bag and toss the soil; it is likely that bugs and fungus will inhabit the old soil. Using new, fast draining soil, plant the cutting in a clean pot and water it sparingly, every two weeks or so, until you see growth. Once the plant displays signs that it is growing, continue to treat it as you do your other aloe plant(s).

Aloe Vera

As the centuries progressed many different countries have found many more ways to use aloe vera in all of its forms: pure aloe vera, aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice.

Combined with wheat germ oil and safflower aloe vera can reduce bruising something that can be beneficial to the older generation. Another helpful use for aloe is to incorporate it in the daily teeth cleaning regimen. Apply it on damaged or diseased gums to reduce inflammation and pain. The gel’s affects work better in its purest form than after it has been mixed with other chemicals running the possibility of lessening its power.Yes aloe vera can be drunk as a juice. To make it the aloe must be taken from a plant that is 3-4 years old and has been grown outside in order to get its full benefits. The daily recommended dose is only 2-4 ounces.
