Aloe vera
The aloe vera plant originated in the warm, dry climates of Africa, Madagascar, and the Arabian Peninsula. The genus Aloe is thought to have originated in southern Africa about 16 million years ago. The large, succulent leaves that are typical of medicinal aloes are thought to have evolved around 10 million years ago.Aloe vera is now grown around the world for its many uses, including:
Skin and hair: The gel from the leaves can be used to hydrate and soothe skin and hair.Food and drink: The gel can be consumed as a juice or tonic to aid digestionHealth: The gel can be used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis and burns, and sores caused by the Herpes simplex virusCosmetics: The gel is used in hundreds of skin products, including lotions and sunblocksAloe vera's popularity is thought to be due to its location at the intersection of historically important trade routes between Asia and the Mediterranean. Arab traders brought aloe vera to Persia and India by 600 B.C., and the Arabs called it the "Desert Lily"Aloe vera is a fast-growing succulent that can reach maturity in 3–4 years:Growth rate
Aloe vera plants typically grow a new leaf every few weeks during the growing season.Size
Mature aloe vera plants can grow to be 12–36 in tall and 6–12 in wide.Flowers
Aloe vera plants produce spiky flowers in shades of yellow, red, or orange on tall stalks. Young plants and houseplants may take years to flower.Outdoor growth
Aloe vera plants may grow faster outdoors depending on the climate and conditions.Here are some tips for caring for aloe vera plants:
Light
Aloe vera plants need bright but indirect light. They don't respond well to full sunlight or low light.Watering
Water aloe vera plants deeply but infrequently, and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can be fatal.Temperature
Aloe vera plants prefer warmer temperatures.Repotting
Repot aloe vera plants when they outgrow their pot, usually every two or three years.Propagation
You can propagate aloe vera plants by trimming off the pups, which are the offshoots that grow at the base of the plant. The pups have their own root system and can be planted in their own pots

Aloe plicatilis (Fan aloe)
Kumara plicatilis, formerly Aloe plicatilis, the fan-aloe, is a succulent plant endemic to a few mountains in the Fynbos ecoregion, of the Western Cape in South Africa. The plant has an unusual and striking fan-like arrangement of its leavesHere are some tips for caring for a fan aloe plant (Aloe plicatilis):
Light
Fan aloe plants need lots of bright, direct sunlight, but should be protected from the hottest part of the day. Place them less than a foot from a window, but set them back from a southern or western window to prevent leaf burn.Water
Water thoroughly and then allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water moderately from spring to early fall, and sparingly during the winter. You can use a moisture meter to determine when it's time to water. Overwatering is the leading cause of death for cacti.Soil
Use a well-draining potting soil with lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage, and some organic matter for nutrition.Humidity
Fan aloe plants enjoy lots of humidity, so you can provide it by watering regularly and thoroughly.Temperature
Fan aloe plants prefer hot summers and can take a few degrees of frost in winter. They grow much better outdoors in spring and summer. If you live outside of USDA zones 9 to 12, you can move your fan aloe plant outside for the summer and bring it indoors before the first freeze.Propagation
You can propagate fan aloe plants by seed or cuttings. For cuttings, allow them to callus for a few days before inserting them into a gritty medium.Safety
Fan aloe plants are medium risk to pets and children, and should be positioned away from foot traffic23°F

Its native habitat is threatened by mining, overgrazing, and other pollutive practicesThe Aloe ramosissima, also known as the Maiden's Quiver Tree, can grow to be up to 2 meters tall in its natural environment. However, it is more commonly found growing to be 1.2 meters tall.Here are some other characteristics of the Aloe ramosissima:
Growth: This aloe grows slowly, adding 10–20 centimeters in height per year.Leaves: The Aloe ramosissima has thick, smooth, oblong leaves that are 20 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide. The leaves have small, yellowish or brownish spines along the margin and are arranged in rosettes at the branch tips.Stems: The stems of the Aloe ramosissima are covered in a waxy powder that protects them from intense sunlight and drought.Blooming: The Aloe ramosissima blooms in the winter, producing yellow swollen tubular flowers.Soil: The Aloe ramosissima grows best in good quality, loamy sandy soil with plenty of drainage.Watering: The Aloe ramosissima should not be overwatered.Frost: The Aloe ramosissima can tolerate a few degrees of frost in the winter.Exposure: The Aloe ramosissima can tolerate moderate shade, but should be slowly hardened off before being placed in full sun

Aloiampelos ciliaris (climbing aloe)
The climbing aloe, also known as Aloiampelos ciliaris, is native to the arid regions of Southern Africa. The plant is a member of the Aloiampelos genus, which is made up of seven species of succulent plants that are native to the region.Here are some other facts about the climbing aloe:
Appearance
The climbing aloe has long, flexible leaves with pointed edges, and cylindrical stems that can grow up to 30 feet tall. The leaves are blue-green with reddish-orange margins, and the plant produces large orange-red flowers in the fall.Care
The climbing aloe needs full sun exposure, and should be watered thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. It can be fertilized once a month during the growing season, which starts in spring. Repotting the plant's soil once a year should provide enough nutrition.History
The climbing aloe was first brought into cultivation in 1821 by James Bowie, a botanist and plant collector from Kew. It was introduced to California in 1908 by Dr. Francesco FranceschHere are some tips for caring for a climbing aloe plant:
Sunlight: Climbing aloe prefers full sun and bright, indirect sunlight. Without enough sunlight, it may not bloom fully.Watering: Water deeply and allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Watering needs vary by season, humidity, and rainfall.Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix with lots of perlite or vermiculite. You can also add sand or pumice to a standard potting mix. Poor drainage can lead to root rot.Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced NPK fertilizer once a month during the growing season.Temperature: Climbing aloe prefers warm indoor temperatures between 60–80°F. It's not frost-tolerant, so protect it from frost if you live in a colder climate.Repotting: Repot in the spring so the plant has time to adjust before growing season.Pruning: Trim off dead or damaged leaves.Air circulation: Improve air circulation to prevent mold and fungus.Humidity: Keep humidity in check to prevent fungal growthClimbing aloe, also known as Aloe ciliaris, is not frost-tolerant and should be brought indoors when temperatures drop below 30°F:Hardiness zones
Climbing aloe can be grown outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 9a-11b. In cooler climates, it can be grown as a potted houseplant.Frost damage
Most aloes are frost-tender and cannot handle a hard freeze, which is several hours below 25ºF or -4ºC. The fluid within their succulent leaves would freeze and rot.Sunlight
When grown indoors, climbing aloe should be placed in a sunny position where it can get full sun for a decent portion of the day.Soil
Climbing aloe grows best in sandy or gravelly soil with good drainage.Heatwaves
During heatwaves, climbing aloe should be provided shade to prevent scorchingHere are some tips for caring for a climbing aloe plant:
Sunlight: Climbing aloe prefers full sun and bright, indirect sunlight.
