The healing plant

What I call my favorite plant, and miracle plant.

My Aloe Vera.
I use this plant for lots of uses, mainly for sunburns because I am a red head and I get sunburnt very easily. I also make contraptions for my face out of it, and also for my super bad dandruff (psoriasis, or dermatitis) I rub it on my head when my head is itchy.

Anywhom, my aunt gave me the start from you (doing not so well) Aloe Vera plant, I planted it and it quickly grew happily on me.
Aloe has had many many many babies, I have sold some, traded some and gave some away. I would say close to about 25 babies now.
I would take the babies out of the plant ground base and put them in their own pot so that they did not take away the energy the plant should be prodiving for itself. Putting the babies in their pot allows them to fend for themselves.

My plant has had a few shocks to itself, but it always bounces back to life.
Now my plant is about 2'6" tall without pot and has many babies.

The exciting news is that the Aloe Vera plant is about to have a bloom, and bloom a flower!
THis only happens to the happiest Aloe Vera plants, and mine is a happy aloe vera plant.

I have always known that Aloe Vera plants can bloom, and I have been wanting mine to for a long time.
At six years old, this baby is old.





History: My great grandma had aloe vera plants. And they bloomed all the time. (:
