Tiger Tooth Aloe
Aloe vera originated in the tropical climates of Africa and established its popularity around the world for its health benefits. Some basic examples of aloe vera benefits include anti-inflammatory action, laxative effects, anti-aging effects and wound healing.
Similar to the plant’s benefits, aloe vera can grow quite large. The aloe vera plant can grow up to three feet in height, but average height is one to two feet tall. Many people recognize an aloe plant for its long, spiny leaves that shoot out from the center. These green leaves give the plant dramatic height. Green plants like aloe vera can bring life into any space, making them the perfect gift for any occasion.
One of the most well-liked characteristics of the aloe plant is its drought tolerance. FSU report advises to only water your aloe vera plant when the top inch of soil is dry. Actively growing aloe plants also thrive in temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees, which makes the average room temperatures favorable for growth. If you are forgetful when it comes to plant care, the aloe vera plant may be the best fit for you.
Aloe vera plants need to be housed in a bright location with some direct sun in winter months. An odd fact about aloe vera is it can sunburn just like us. If you move an aloe vera into direct sunlight from a relatively shady location, the sun can do harm.
Aloe vera plants are drought resistant, so they can survive with minimal watering. However, not watering your aloe vera plant will shorten its lifespan. An appropriate way to water an aloe vera plant is to water thoroughly and let the excess water drain. Then, water again when the top inch of soil is dry. This allows for optimal aloe vera growth.
An indication that your aloe vera plant is not receiving enough water is brown leaf tips. However, a more common indication of improper watering is black spots on the leaves due to overwatering. Overwatering can be more dangerous than under watering because it could lead to root rot.

from 36 reviewsI enjoyed meeting Melanie, and she was very helpful in what I needed to do. I really appreciated having someone like her to help me! She was professional, friendly and very easy to talk to and ask questions.
Plants came beautifully packaged and fast. Each plant was healthy and a great addition to my collection. Thank you!
She arrived well packaged along with my other two plants. She is full and healthy! So glad I purchased her!
Love my new fern! She made it to her new home safe and sound. The Rooted even messaged me about what day they were shipping out making sure it was a day the weather wasn’t so hot the plant would scorch. Definitely recommend!
This was a very fun workshop to attend! I learned a lot about different varieties of carnivorous plants, while getting to build my own beautiful carnivorous terrarium! The 2 plants I chose are thriving, and definitely helping with the gnat population in my house.
I am thrilled with my mystery box plants, fantastic experience as usual (I’m a repeat buyer and love getting plants I wouldn’t normally think of purchasing. Love! Thank you so much.
Very happy with the new addition to my collection. Plant is a good size and appears to be healthy. Would order from her again.
I learned a lot and Melanie is very knowledgeable. Easy to understand instructions and information about carnivorous plants. I am looking forward to being able to take good care of these plants. Can't wait for the terrarium workshop!
Omg...the ivy was so cute...smaller than what I expected. I put in bigger pot, love the small, itsy one sent also. Potted him and I'm just waiting. Thank you guys!!!
The 6” Melanochrysum I purchased through The Rooted Plant Shop has become the epitome of my entire plant collection. Without a doubt my best plant purchase to date, and I’ve purchased quite a few! You can’t go wrong, getting plants through this shop. They never disappoint!!
This plant came in perfect condition! Exactly as pictured, healthy and happy roots, and no pests. What more could you want? The owner of this shop is absolutely a peach aswell!
Every plant gets hand picked and hand delivered by Mel. My Fernwood is so adorable and pushing new growth.
The plant is exactly as expected. Always beautiful.
