5 Off-Grid Reasons Everyone Should Be Growing Aloe

-






Aloe Vera is a popular succulent plant with a rich history. Aside from its beauty and ease of care, Aloe Vera is often used as an herbal remedy. It’s no surprise that the plant is referred to as “the burn plant,” “the wonder plant,” “the medicine plant” or “the silent healer,” in reference to its medicinal capabilities.

Everyone should have an Aloe Vera plant, whether it’s in a pot on their porch or in their garden (zone permitting). Here are five reasons why.
