(Aloe barbadensis) Years, I have had this wonderful plant at home for years. My mother has always grown this plant at home and I don't know why.
Until two years ago doing a calçotada I badly burned my hand. Then with an Aloe Vera leaf, they peeled it and with the inner fleshy part they applied it directly to my skin.
The result is that my pain calmed down a lot and I didn't leave a trace of the burn.
Since that day the most well-cared for plant in my house has been Aloe Vera. But since I landed in Can Pepitu, And I don't know if it's because of the composition of the land, the water, the climate or the whole thing. The Aloe Veras reproduce in a way that is pleasing to me.
In order to share these interesting qualities that I will attach at the end of the post, it is a candidate plant to be in the store that we are setting up in Can Pepitu. Although I already told you that the stock of it is minimal, Although... where else can you buy aloe vera grown outside a greenhouse, without chemicals or growth accelerators?
Well, in Can Pepitu.
