Appearance & origins
Aloe Vera is a succulent plant with thick, fleshy, lance-shaped leaves that are green to gray-green in color. The edges of the leaves are serrated with small white teeth. The plant can grow up to 24–39 inches in height and produces tubular yellow or orange flowers on tall stalks when in bloom.
Aloe Vera is believed to have originated in the Arabian Peninsula but is now commonly found in tropical, semi-tropical, and arid regions around the world, including Africa, India, and the Mediterranean.
