The Aloe vera is a perennial succulent with fleshy, serrated leaves containing a clear, hydrating gel and a bitter yellow sap. Native to North Africa and Spain, it's now grown globally in hot, dry regions and is valued for its medicinal uses as a skin healer and digestive aid. The plant is easy to care for, thriving in bright, indirect light, well-draining soil, and requiring moderate watering, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor cultivation
