My absolute unit of an Aloe Vera has stuck through thick and thin. The only survivor of a recent heatwave out of all of my plants, and it’s doing better than ever. Flourishing gloriously and growing to fill the entire large pot I put one shoot in a year or so ago. Very resilient - will definitely stay strong if you forget to water it a couple of times. Would recommend for anyone with any or no plant-keeping experience.

Under the right conditions (lighting, temperature, water quality) my Princess has been steadily growing new leaves. So much so, that we are moving up to a new pot size after a year. I mainly have her as part of a home made hair treatment, so I tend to clip her more than the average owner. Which I believe when done right, can also help in healthy regrowth. I allow her to seal cuts on her own instead of old cauterize trick. Less yellowing tips later.
Hardy plant, allow the soil to completely dry before watering again. Do the pinky check (avoid pushing on roots) if still dry past your knuckle then water. Can do well in low light, but will be faster to root if watered too frequently. Tie up for a more bunched look.
