| Aloe is one of our top ten urban core survival garden plants; grows great on Florida green roofs too! |
Aloe is one of our top ten urban core survival & pandemic garden plants. We keep aloe close to the back door. For healing burns, cuts, sores or bug bites there is no better plant.
Aloe loves growing in containers and will do well planted directly in the ground too. One of the reasons I like to plant aloe in containers is that as aloe fills the pot with roots, new plants - or pups - will begin appearing in the container.
As a container plant, aloe is perfect for patios and balconies.
For green roofs, aloe has worked very well for me. Aloe is a CAM based photosynthesis plant so it will survive in dry or wind swept rooftop quadrants. I like to use aloe as garden perimeter windbreak plants.
Medicinally, aloe's history as a healing plant is well documented throughout the ages.
If you don't have aloe growing in your survival garden its time to acquire one now!
