Aloe ferox Plants Above is a photo of the actual plant that is in a 12.5cm pot. The bitter aloe is most famous for its medicinal qualities. In parts of South Africa, the bitter yellow juice found just below the skin has been harvested as a renewable resource for two hundred years. The hard, black, resinous product is known as Cape aloes or aloe lump and is used mainly for its laxative properties but is also taken for arthritis. "Schwedenbitters" which is found in many pharmacies contains bitter aloe. The gel-like flesh from the inside of the leaves is used in cosmetic products and is reported to have wound healing properties. This plant will be sent without a pot and soil free. We'll remove the plant from the soil as it not only increases postage but also makes the parcel unstable. |
