Description

An easy-to-grow houseplant that is fascinating to look at and boasts practical uses – what is there not to love about the classic Aloe vera?

This slow-growing succulent has thick fleshy leaves with toothed edges that form a wide rosette over time and makes a striking plant for a bright, sunny position. This dessert plant can tolerate both neglect and lack of water incredibly well, so you do not have to fret about it as it grows.

You can even move this windowsill favourite outside for the summer, to allow it to make the most of the sunlight and warmth, just be sure to save it from direct sunlight for a handful of days to allow it to acclimatise.

Not just a top plant for your office, Aloe Vera boasts cooling sap which can be used to soothe burns, while many people use the juice as a hair conditioner, makeup remover, or even a skin tonic.

To use the juice, simply remove a leaf from the plant and slit it along its length, scooping out the contents with a spoon.

Supplied as an established plant in a 10.5cm pot.

Please note: The pictured decorative pot is not included.

Top Tips
Place your Aloe in a bright, sunny place otherwise it will go dormant and stop growing.
Care Information
  • Aloe Vera hates being wet, so water about every 3 weeks and even less during the winter. Allow the soil to dry out at least 1 to 2 inches deep between waterings - use your finger to test dryness before watering.
  • Feed once in the spring and once in the summer with a balanced houseplant formula at half strength.
  • Plants do like to be restricted in their pot, so repot only when root bound, using a well-drained potting mix designed for cacti and succulents.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
