Aloe plants come in many varieties, with some well-suited for indoor growth. One of the more common potted types, aloe vera, produces a sap that can help heal burns and small scrapes. The succulent leaves of aloes are usually green, although some types may feature pale green or white variegation or spots. Most types have few spines on the sword-shaped foliage. Like most succulents, aloes thrive on minimal care and require little moisture to survive. Plant aloe in a pot that contains at least one large drainage hole and is 2 to 3 inches larger in diameter than the base of the aloe plant. Drainage is important because too much moisture around aloe’s roots can cause root rot. Plant the aloe in a soil mixture formulated for cacti and other succulents, or combine equal parts potting soil and coarse sand to make your own mix.
