Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller Live Plant 7-8 Inch Edible Gel Aloe
Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller is a well-known succulent prized for its thick, fleshy leaves filled with a clear, edible gel. This live plant arrives at 7-8 inches tall as a bare root specimen, ready to be potted or planted in a sunny garden spot. Its rosette form and spiky, gray-green leaves make it an attractive addition to succulent collections, windowsills, and warm-climate landscapes.

Aloe Vera requires minimal care once established. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season and repot every few years as the plant outgrows its container. Protect from freezing temperatures.
