Product Description

Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed succulent plant growing to *0�**0 cm (*4�*9 in) tall, spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on the upper and lower stem surfaces.[7] The margin of the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth. The flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to *0 cm (*5 in) tall, each flower pendulous, with a yellow tubular corolla 2�3 cm (0.8�1.2 in) long.[7][8] Like other Aloe species, Aloe vera forms arbuscular mycorrhiza, a symbiosis that allows the plant better access to mineral nutrients in soil
