Aloe Vera is short-stemmed succulent
plant, native to northern Africa. It normally grows
to about 100 cm. It is easy to cultivate Aloe vera
in frost-free climates. It can also be cultivated
as a potted plant, but care has to be taken by enabling
seepage through drainage holes in the pot. It should
be allowed to completely dry and should be watered

plants to be of divine origin and worshipped them
as the “Mother Goddess”, by chanting verses
(‘Oushathi sookthas’), in praise of them.
