Aloe arborescens f. variegated (Variegated)

One of the most famous and popular succulents for its many properties, it consists of a central stem that tends to lignify and branch abundantly. In nature this plant reaches even 4 meters in height, taking the form of a huge bush consisting of long leaves of bright green color with serrations along the edges, pointed and arched downwards. The length of the foliage in nature reaches more than 50 cm, however, the size depends very much on the environment in which it lives and, above all, on the amount of light it can receive. The variegated shape presents the typical lighter areas in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent: these characteristics will never be the same from one plant to another, therefore each exemplar will be absolutely unique! In the flowering period long stems are generated, at the apex of which clusters of pretty red flowers bloom. The main reason why Aloe arborescens is so famous lies in its infinite beneficial properties: the juice contained within the leaves contains over 20 amino acids among those necessary for humans, as well as multiple vitamins in large quantities and, Last but not least, substances with anti-inflammatory and analgesic power. Because of its properties Aloe arborescens is now daily used for ointments useful to soothe any skin problems, but also to create supplements that can regenerate damaged tissues, eliminate toxins, stimulate metabolism and even the immune system: a real cure-all, both for our health and to make our environments pleasant!
