Plants From My Container Garden 1--ALOE VERA
Scientific name = Aloe vera
Aloe is from the lily family and is related to asparagus, Easter lilies and tulips. It is very easy to grow and I started growing it at school in my classroom. All the biology teachers have aloe plants started from one “mama” plant several years ago. Surprisingly, my students did not know you could cut off the leaves and use the sap for cuts, bug bites and burns.
Other listed uses: asthma, eye & ear drops, wrinkles, dry skin
Biggest mistake with aloe—over watering
