Aloe thrives on neglect.

Which is convenient since the rest of my house plants have died.

No, wait. I have one left:


Nice, huh? (EDIT: at the time of posting, this fern is no longer with us….)

Anyway, TL gave me a pot of aloe ages ago.

I think I’ve watered it five times…EVER. I know people who have killed aloe plants. I think it’s because they take care of it, and dumb crap like that. Mine lives on top of the fridge. It’s not by a window, either.

I’ve given hunks of it away (read, yanked it out of the pot, hacked it with a bread knife, and shoved it back in the pot) and it keeps on a growin’.

Ready-made chemical-free skin salve/burn goo/itchy remedy/wipes additive/fun to squish ‘lotion plant’!
