Anyone using an Aloe Vera plant indoors?

[Tyra]

I need AV for my hair and I've been searching online for days now. Every gel that I come across seems to have more "other ingredients" then actual AV, so I give up.

I'm gonna just order a plant.

I remember my father had one in the home years ago but I had no idea the benefits of it.

I hope it's relatively easy to keep because I am a plant murderer.


If you use the plant, how, and with what are you mixing the gel?
Is it easy to keep indoors?

if you plan to use the aloe gel everyday then your best bet is to buy the plant , buy some gel and wait a good couple years for the plan to get big before you start to kill it down

Yeah, aloe grows slowly. I don't know how long your hair is, but for even shoulder length hair you'd need to kill the whole entire plant, then spend forever getting the juice/gel out of it, before you could use it.

Try puritansale dot com. You can buy PURE aloe vera gel there. I believe it may have a tiny bit of a food preservative in it, as it's meant to be taken internally, but it works wonders.

I have the plant. Its great and very easy to take care of. You can get it from most local flower shops. Mine lasts a really long time. I mostly use mine for health purposes; ingesting it and applying to wounds, etc.

Its easy to keep. Are you on the west side? I can point you to a few store that sell large aloe leaves and plants.
