Aloe vera is a succulent plant with skin healing qualities. The healing gel may be sqeezed from the cut leaf and used directly. Aloe vera may be grown indoors in temperate climates. It requires temps above 50F, bright light like a windowsil without hot sun. A single day of full sun may damage the plant severely. It prefers well drained soil that is allowed to dry between waterings. Intuition tells us that a succulent prefers full sun- this is not so with Aloe vera. The plant multiplies by sending up new shoots around the original shoot.
