[bio] Plant Bio Aloe barbadensis Also known as Aloe vera, this plant is native to areas of the Middle East and has been medicinally used for thousands of years. Despite the plant’s long history, there’s little scientific evidence to back up many of the claims made about it, so we consider it an ornamental plant here at Costa Farms. Like most succulents, it requires bright light to thrive, though it isn’t fussy if the light comes from the sun, plant lights, or a mix of both. Aloe vera has low water needs, making it a popular choice for first-time plant owners. Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
