aloe vera
 
Hi there, these thrive very well on the kitchen windowsill. The idea is if you burn yourself, you break off a leaf and spread the gel on the burnt area. Works well. They need to be kept fairly dry ar they are a cactes family/desert dweller. The leaves go flat and wrinkly when they need watering. If over watered, they go yellow and transparent but will thrive again if allowed to dry out. They keep having babies!! off the side of the original plant, so you can repot these and give them to your friends. Enjoy!!
