Aloe needs little care in order to thrive—it’s a tough plant that offers big rewards, both to your skin and to your garden! Plant aloe in a container inside in bright, direct sunlight, or if your climate is warm year-round, you can add it to the garden. (When temperatures cool to below 50 degrees, bring aloe inside.) Make sure the soil drains well. The clear gel inside the aloe leaf can soothe sunburns and other skin irritations, making this succulent as beneficial as it is beautiful.
