Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera Plant 🌵 has thick, fleshy green leaves with soft serrated edges, giving it that clean, classic succulent look people instantly recognize. It does best in very bright light indoors or a sunny outdoor spot in warm weather, where it can stay compact and happy without much fuss. This is an easy, low-maintenance plant that prefers being left a little too dry over being watered too often. Pro tip: make sure it’s in a pot with drainage and let the soil dry out fully between waterings ☀️.
