Know before you buy

No, Aloe Vera is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
While it is more common for Aloe Vera to bloom outdoors, it can produce delicate yellow tubular flowers in the summer if it receives enough bright, indirect light and proper care.
No, this plant thrives in low-humidity environments. It is well-suited for standard indoor conditions and does not require any supplemental misting or humidity trays.
