Introducing the fabulous Aloe Vera plant- also known as Aloe barbadensis 'miller,' it is also known as a medicinal aloe and burn plant. The Aloe vera plant is by far the most popular out of over 400 varieties of the Aloe genus.

This incredible tropical succulent is not your average houseplant. It's a superstar known for its leaves, which hold a magical aloe vera gel for soothing sunburn and as a popular drink to help your stomach.

This large Aloe vera plant boasts fleshy lance-shaped grey-green leaves with small white teeth along the edges growing out from a starfish-like basal rosette. 

The edible aloe vera flowers burst into bloom in vibrant shades of yellow at the tips of their stalks when given favorable conditions. Only mature plants will yield flowers, so you'll have to wait at least four years to see an aloe vera bloom. However, in some growing conditions (especially hybrid plants), the flowers can sometimes appear with orange or reddish hues. 

This fast-growing succulent can grow into a large aloe vera plant up to 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide and even produce adorable pups that you can repot or share as delightful gifts with fellow plant enthusiasts.

How to Get Aloe Vera Gel from the plant to use on your skin

  1. Choose and Cut a Leaf: Select a large, healthy leaf from the bottom of the plant. Use a sharp knife to cut the entire leaf off at the base.
  2. Prepare the Leaf: Let the leaf sit upright in a container for 10–15 minutes to allow the yellow sap (aloin) to drain out. This sap can be irritating to the skin.
  3. Slice and Extract the Gel: For a small amount of gel, cut a section from the leaf rather than using the whole thing. Slice the leaf lengthwise to expose the gel. Use a spoon or knife to scoop out the clear gel.
  4. Apply or Store: Apply directly to your skin for soothing relief. Store extra gel in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.

Aloe vera juice has many benefits for humans, this succulent rich in antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, may enhance digestion, blood sugar levels, and oral health, although certain compounds, particularly aloin, may cause digestive discomfort and other side effects.

An aloe vera indoor plant is a great addition to any home, as it is easy to aloe vera care for and provides a variety of aloe vera benefits. 

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can help in wound healing. It can also help to moisturize the skin and prevent peeling.

When and How to Water Your Aloe Vera 

As a desert dweller, watering the aloe vera succulent may be tricky, it may shrivel and die if given too little water, but it may also easily rot when given excessive water. So be careful not to overwater your aloe plant—you only want to give it enough to keep it from drying out completely, not drown it! 

A good rule of thumb is to water the Aloe plants deeply and then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. In the spring and summer, during the growing season, watering can be done once every 2-3 weeks.

During the winter months, when aloe vera is in a dormant period, it can be watered even less frequently. If you live in a rainy climate, consider planting aloe in gravel or stones. 

It is also important to note that aloe vera plants are sensitive to water quality. They prefer water that is low in minerals and salts, so it is best to use distilled or filtered water. Tap water can be used, but it should be left out for 24 hours before watering the plant to allow the chlorine to evaporate.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Aloe Vera Plant 

When growing indoors as a houseplant, place the aloe vera a few feet away from the south-facing window that receives plenty of sunlight, but it is important to avoid direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to burn. If the aloe plant is not receiving enough light, the leaves will start to droop and turn brown. In this case, it may be necessary to move the aloe vera plant to a brighter location. 

When planted outdoors, your Aloe plants need their daily dose of sunshine like a beach-loving teenager needs their favorite tunes!

They thrive on at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight, soaking up those glorious rays with joy.

But wait, before you go dragging your aloe plant from its cozy shady spot into the blazing sun, be cautious. That sudden move can dry out your leafy buddy and leave it looking as yellow as a lemon.  

Now imagine you live in one of those cooler climates where clouds have permanent residency or if your home lacks these sunny windows altogether.

Fear not; you can use artificial lights – they're like little suns in bulb form! Hang them about one to two feet above your precious plant during daylight hours (that's roughly 16 hours per day) and watch it flourish happily amidst dim interiors.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Aloe vera plants prefer well-draining soil that is a mixture of sand, perlite, and peat moss. It is critical to avoid soil that retains excessive moisture, as this can cause root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix soil for aloe vera that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive.  

In terms of fertilizer, aloe succulents do not require a lot of nutrients. They can be fertilized once a year in the spring with a balanced fertilizer (NPK) of 5-10-5 in ratio. It is important not to over-fertilize the aloe plant, as this can lead to root burn. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When grown indoors as a houseplant, aloe vera plants prefer a warm and dry environment. They thrive in temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. Aloe vera is a succulent, so it's adapted to arid conditions and doesn't do well in overly humid environments. Aim for a humidity level of around 30% to 40% for your indoor aloe vera plant.

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11

Aloe vera can tolerate temperatures as low as 40°F for short periods, but prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures can damage or kill the plant. If you live in a colder climate, it's best to keep your aloe vera indoors or provide protection during winter months.

Aloe vera plants prefer dry air and do not require high levels of humidity. They can tolerate low humidity levels and do not need to be misted or placed in a humid environment. 

Wildlife - Aloe Vera Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

Aloe vera plants attract a variety of friendly pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These pollinators are essential for the reproduction of aloe vera plants, as they help transfer pollen between flowers, ultimately leading to the production of seeds. Additionally, these pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem health.

According to the ASPCA, the Aloe vera can be mildly toxic to pets and humans. It is rare but can occur if consumed in large quantities and can cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and electrolyte imbalances. It is important to consult a healthcare professional if you experience any adverse effects from consuming aloe vera.

How to Propagate Your Aloe Vera Plant

To propagate your aloe vera plant, you can separate the offsets or "pups" that grow at the base of the main plant. Gently remove these pups and plant them in their own pots with well-draining soil to encourage root growth. Water sparingly until they establish themselves, and place them in a sunny spot to promote healthy growth.

Aloe Vera: The Natural Sunburn Remedy


Aloe vera gel is known for its ability to moisturize the skin, it helps soothe burns and sunburns, as well as being known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Aloe Vera is also rich in vitamins and minerals that are essential for healthy skin. It is best to use pure aloe gel extracted directly from an aloe vera plant.

To use aloe vera gel to soothe sunburns, cut off a piece of the large aloe vera leaf and open it to reveal the gel.

To maintain the aesthetic appeal of your aloe plant, it is advisable to cut off the entire leaf of the large aloe vera plant when cutting one. Just chop the leaf off as close to the main stem as you can. Cutting leaves from the base of the plant is always preferable. These leaves will be thicker since they are older. If you cut off the tip of a leaf, it will eventually turn brown at the tip because cut leaves keep their scars.

Key Takeaways

  1. Aloe vera is renowned for its medicinal properties, particularly its soothing gel, which is widely used for treating burns, wounds, and skin irritations. Its natural compounds, like aloin and acemannan, have anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
  2. When cut, aloe vera can seal its own wounds by producing protective latex, showcasing its remarkable survival mechanism in harsh environments.
  3. Aloe vera is not just a skincare savior; it also purifies indoor air by removing harmful pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene, making it a great addition to homes and offices.
  4. Native to arid regions, aloe vera thrives in minimal water conditions. It stores water in its thick, fleshy leaves, allowing it to endure prolonged droughts.
  5. The inner gel of aloe vera leaves is edible and used in drinks and food for its health benefits, such as aiding digestion, boosting immunity, and providing hydration. Always ensure proper preparation to remove any bitter or toxic compounds.
  6. The presence of yellow flower buds is a strong indicator of the edible variety.

The Bottom Line

Overall, Aloe vera is a popular plant known for its healing properties and versatility. It has gained popularity for its ability to help heal wounds, cuts, and burns, including sunburns. The gel inside the aloe vera leaves contains soothing and moisturizing properties that can provide relief and promote healing. In terms of care, aloe vera is relatively low-maintenance. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires moderate watering. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some shade.

Buy this one, forget the rest
This is one of the most powerful handheld electric blowers available. If you're serious about getting the job done quickly, this is the baseline. The next power tier is a gas backpack blower at five times the cost, then an even more powerful backpack, and then four-digit specialty tools from companies like Billy Goat. I bought the Worx because I didn't want to spend three hours raking a half-acre of grass. My trial run was an hour of continuous use with matted wet leaves and driveway sand. It fast became apparent that to be efficient, a blower has to move leaves without being on top of them. Blowing from six inches just makes everything scatter as piles build up. You end up crisscrossing the section you just cleared to deal with the strays. The further your breeze carries, the more direct the flight path of the leaves. This range, and the ability to scour stubborn leaves from the ground, comes from air speed (MPH). At the same time, though, you need a big enough wall of air to move more than one leaf at once. That comes from the size of your pipe opening. The two multiplied together determine your total air volume over a duration, or CFM (cubic feet per minute). In physics-land (with spherical cows and turbulence-free pipes, spared from the icy hand of marketing), CFM is the best measure of a blower's work capacity. MPH, you can change by varying the size of the pipe; a smaller pipe makes a smaller column of air moving at a faster speed (and more impressive advertising), which is why a lot of consumer-class blowers have tiny nozzles. (I'm looking at you, Sun Joe SBJ601E.) But there's a cost to adding MPH: it kills efficiency. The energy to move a volume of air goes up with the square of speed, so if you design your blower for 160 MPH, you'll get half the CFM of a 110 MPH blower from the same power. Something to mull if the blower is powered by a battery. Still, if you know either speed or CFM, and the size of the pipe, you can calculate the other (assuming the manufacturer isn't misleading you by quoting CFM at the fan and MPH at the end of the pipe). To get CFM from MPH and the radius of a round pipe, the calculation is (radius^2)*(mph)*(1.92). That's (1.69^2)(110)(1.92) for this blower's 110 MPH and 3 3/8" pipe, with the result arriving right at the rated number of 600 CFM. Anyway, the Worx has enough volume and speed to blow mounds of wet leaves from six feet and dry ones from ten or more. It's impressively powerful. I was switching arms every few minutes as they wore out from the backward force. Only some really baked-on mud would have benefited from a pipe-reducer attachment. Thanks to ape-like proportions or the secure fit of my spandex leaf-blowing onesie, clothing suction from the rear-directed air intake hasn't been a bother. ALTERNATIVES: I almost bought Toro's highly-rated "Ultra" combination blower to minimize bagging, but the vacuum functionality didn't seem that useful in videos. Maybe it'd be adequate to clean an enclosed deck area or a small yard with a scattering of dry leaves. For a larger yard, it looks like a time sink relative to a standalone mulcher. Likewise the blowing capacity, which, at 410 CFM, trails the Worx by quite a lot. Cordless tools were also tempting. There's a 20V DeWalt people seem to like that's rated at (a perhaps optimistic) 400 CFM. Because it's a similar fan design to the Worx, we can compare power directly. DeWalt's standard battery is 20V (or so we'll stipulate; it's closer to 18V under load) and 5 amp-hours, so we're looking at 100 watt-hours total output. 15 minutes of runtime translates to a sustained draw, best case, of 400W. Assuming 90% efficiency in the brushless motor, that's 360W actually moving air. (When new. Expect a performance drop over time and battery replacements by year three.) Compare this Worx: 12 amps at 120V equates to 1440 watts sustained, in this case feeding a 2-pole AC/DC motor that's perhaps 55% efficient. 12A is close to the maximum a device can reasonably expect from a typical 15A household socket. Even with nearly half of our power lost to heat and noise, the remaining 790W is over double what the DeWalt can manage. It's no coincidence that 600 CFM cordless blowers (Greenworks and Kobalt come to mind) have 80V/2.5Ah batteries with twice the DeWalt's capacity. Their runtime at full tilt? The same fifteen minutes, with three extra pounds to lug around from a chunk of lithium that costs more than the blower it attaches to. And what of gas blowers? The handheld versions have around 1 HP with CFM from 450 to 500. They're usually tuned for higher MPH than the Worx, so they're likely to be a little better with wet leaves and a little worse with dry ones. Backpack blowers up the displacement and make between 1.5 and 5 horsepower. The models that you might find on the back of a professional landscaper can manage nearly 1000 CFM with speeds around 200 MPH. That's a considerable difference, but you pay for it at the checkout and in weight: figure 10 pounds or so for a handheld (relative to 7ish for this unit, plus some cord) and 20 or more for a backpack. As of mid-2020, two other corded blowers are worth a hard look: Toro's F700 and Worx's WG521. The Toro arrived first in 2019 with a hefty 720 CFM rating, a bigger two-arm handle, and a better cord retention mechanism. The WG521 is the response: 800 CFM and 135 MPH (claimed) from a ~4" nozzle, albeit still intended for one arm. All three blowers are beastly and often close in price; pick whichever best channels your inner Tim Allen. ACCESSORIES: A motor this powerful benefits from a thick (low gauge) cord for longer runs. You lose a bit of performance with thinner cord. The generic orange 50-foot extension everyone has is 16-gauge. Feeding a 12A load for 50 feet, it'll have a voltage drop of about 5V. Heavier 14-gauge loses 2.5V on the same run, and industrial 12-gauge, only 1.5V. The scale is linear, so if you double up that 16-gauge cord for a 100-foot run, you'll lop off 10V. How's that play out here? From a short and fat cable (that the cheesy plastic strain-relief piece won't actually accommodate; just tie an overhand knot over the two plugs instead), we'd expect a 1440W draw (12A * 120V, or a bit less because the house wiring itself has some drop). Losing 5V drops the total to 1380W. That's about what I found when I tested the Worx with a watt meter. 12ag / 3 ft = 1423W 14ag / 100 ft = 1352W 16ag / 50 ft = 1351W 16ag / 50 ft + 14ag / 100 ft = 1280W With the progressive thumb dial at the lowest setting, minimum draw was 260W. For shorter runs, disconnect extensions you don't actively need. Every cable sheds a percentage of the energy it carries to heat. As above, skinny cables lose more. Coiled on the ground and coupled with a high-load device like the Worx, they can build up enough heat to start melting insulation, which tends to cause sheepish expressions and insurance claims. This blower is also loud enough to merit hearing protection. On an A-weighted scale (approximating human hearing), measured outdoors from three feet, it makes 82 dB on low and 91 dB on high. Indoors or near a wall, volume jumps by 10 dB and subjectively doubles. While the sound character emulates a vacuum, my Shark only measures 72 dB indoors; you'd have to run over a rat's nest of lamp cords to make one this loud. Amazon has a number of comfortable muffs for less than a Jackson that'll keep your ears intact. You can find electric blowers with more toys, but few that'll get the job done as fast as this one. It's a bargain at the asking price. I'll update if I catch any reliability problems.

Light, and easy to use for blowing leaves
I bought this in the fall of 2025, and found it very easy to use. I also have a Toro blower/vac, that I use to grind up leaves in the fall. While this appliance is only good for blowing leaves, it does a good job of it. It's quieter than the Toro, and considerably lighter in weight. I find it much less fatiguing on the hand than the Toro. It has multiple speeds, so is versatile. You don't ALWAYS want maximum wind from these things, depending on the job and the space. The weight, comfortable handle, balance, and lower noise are the top advantages to this machine. Because this is a corded model, there's no concern over battery life. You can blow the afternoon away without a care. Only time will tell when it comes to durability. 🤞🏻

The Black and Decker BESTA510 is a KEEPER plus it's made in the USA 🇺🇲
Style: String Trimmer
Well folks🙂 I have to tell you this has been a nice weed eater that cuts really good and it's LIGHTWEIGHT and it's powerful👍 and at a PRICE that can't be beat...it's way more powerful than some battery and electric weed eaters that I have.. like a Ryobi... And supposedly a commercial grade Ryobi $200 😤.. Anyway 🙂 This electric weed eater is very good and I'll take that PEPSI challenge any day 😀 when comparing it to some other weed eaters PLUS it doesn't USE LINE like other electric weed eaters that I've used.. at least that's been my experience.. This is a KEEPER weed eater from Black & Decker👍....it handles tall grass and even some hedge... though it probably shouldn't be used for hedge but it's TOUGH 😀 and better than any battery weed eater I used especially with the power and cutting... The power alone and convenience of NOT rushing through the job with the battery pack and charging ect imo is worth the cord drag 🙂... and much better than a battery weed eater or other electric weed eaters.. This just cuts better 👍... With MORE power consistently and constantly through the whole job... So in conclusion 🙂 the Black & Decker BESTA510 weed eater in my opinion is a KEEPER and this model has been around for a while which speaks for itself not to mention Black & Decker has been around for years.... This weed eater OVERALL (pound for pound ) is a solid performer with many mostly liking this weed eater and Black & Decker products overall.. Thanks for reading🙂.. I hope my review helps... and Did I mention It's made in the USA...🇺🇲..🙂...

No problems all the way to the end of the spool
Style: String Trimmer
I had an old Greenworks string trimmer that I found in the basement after I moved into my new home. Maybe it was just old, but the auto-feed didn't work well, the line was always running out, and I spent more time rewinding the spool than cutting down weeds. I had almost lost my faith in string trimmers entirely. You can spend $300 on one, but how much better are they? I didn't know. This Black & Decker was only $50, and although it's corded, my roommate convinced me it was worth not having to do the dance of recharging batteries, plus having full 110v power. Some (easy) assembly required out of the box, and this thing was basically plug & play. I did read through the owner's manual first, which gave amateur me some confidence through a few helpful tips. I use it not only for cutting down weeds, but also for cleaning out weeds from the cracks in my sidewalk, and the edger wheel is very helpful for that. More importantly, the line had no problems all the way to the end of the spool. Faith restored, there are good string trimmers in the world. That being said, be aware that the line it comes with isn't very long. My lawn is medium-size, and it ran out about halfway through. The Black & Decker replacement spools are $10 / 30 ft (much longer), but it goes through line, so this could really add up. Replacing the spool was easy, and I was able to finish my lawn with plenty line to spare. A quick search on Amazon reveals off brand spools at $15 / 12-pack. I haven't tested them yet, but the price difference is so great that I'm going to give them a chance.
