Aloe Vera Plant: The Ancient Healing Plant
Aloe vera, scientifically known as Aloe barbadensis miller, is a succulent medicinal plant that has been used in Indian Ayurveda for over three thousand years. Ancient Ayurvedic texts like the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita describe aloe vera as a Rasayana herb, meaning it rejuvenates, builds immunity, and promotes longevity.
This desert plant is characterised by thick, fleshy, sword-shaped leaves that grow in a rosette pattern and store water and nutrients in them to help it survive in dry and hot climates.
Why Aloe Vera is Essential for Indian Homes
Aloe vera is one of those rare plants that does more than just sit pretty. Inside its thick, fleshy leaves is a clear, cooling gel packed with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids. It is like having a small natural pharmacy growing quietly in your home.
Whether you want a small aloe vera plant on your kitchen window or a bigger one on your balcony or garden, this hardy succulent fits beautifully into Indian homes and lifestyles.
The Ayurvedic Miracle
In Ayurveda, aloe vera is known as Kumari, meaning a beautiful young woman, a name that reflects its rejuvenating and anti-ageing nature. It is also called Ghritkumari because its gel resembles ghee in texture and richness.
- It balances all three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—making it suitable for all body types.
- Its naturally cooling nature helps calm excess heat and inflammation.
- As a Rasayana herb, it supports skin health, immunity, and graceful ageing.
- It improves digestion, reduces toxin buildup, and supports healthy elimination.
According to Urvann’s 2024 survey, 78% of aloe vera buyers actively use fresh gel for home remedies, making it one of the most used medicinal houseplants in India. It has a 95.8% survival rate among Indian buyers, and nearly 9 out of 10 customers regularly use fresh aloe gel for skin care, hair care, or everyday wellness.

Aloe Vera Plant as per Vastu
In Vastu Shastra, aloe vera is considered a positive and protective plant. It is believed to absorb negative energy, promote good health, and maintain a calm, balanced atmosphere at home. Many Indian households keep aloe vera not just for its medicinal use, but also for its soothing energy.
Best Placement
- East or north direction is considered most auspicious.
- Near windows with natural light to invite positivity.
- Suitable for balconies, kitchens with sunlight, or living rooms.
- Outdoor or well-lit areas work better than dark corners.
Where to Avoid
- Bedrooms, as sharp-leaf plants may disturb rest.
- Near the main entrance or centre of the home.
- Bathrooms and poorly lit spaces.
Simple Vastu Tip
Always keep your aloe vera plant healthy. A struggling or neglected plant is believed to create stagnant energy, so replace it if it does not thrive.

Aloe Vera Plant Care
Aloe vera is one of the easiest medicinal plants to grow in India. It loves sunlight, hates excess water, and mostly wants to be left alone. Follow these basics and your plant will stay healthy for years.
Sunlight: Bright, Gentle, Not Harsh
Aloe vera enjoys good light, but strong afternoon sun can be too much, especially in Indian summers.
- Give it bright, indirect light for four to six hours daily.
- Morning sun is perfect, especially from east-facing windows.
- Avoid harsh afternoon sun between 11 am and 3 pm.
Watering: Less Is Always Better
This is the most important rule with aloe vera. Overwatering is the fastest way to kill it.
- Water only when the top one to two inches of soil are completely dry
- Do the finger test. If the soil feels even slightly moist, wait a few more days
- Always drain excess water and never let the pot sit in water
New plant tip: Do not water your aloe vera for the first five to seven days after delivery. It needs time to settle into your home.
Soil and Pot: Drainage Is Non-Negotiable
Aloe vera roots hate sitting in wet soil. Good drainage matters more than anything else.
- Use well-draining soil, ideally a cactus or succulent mix.
- If mixing at home, combine regular soil, cocopeat, and coarse sand or perlite.
- Always choose pots with drainage holes.
Fertilising: Once a Year Is Enough
Aloe vera is a light feeder and grows slowly.
- Fertilise once a year in spring, ideally in February or March
- Use vermicompost, cow manure, or diluted liquid fertiliser
- Avoid overfeeding, as it makes leaves soft and reduces gel quality
Most successful aloe growers fertilise just once annually, and that is more than enough.

Aloe Vera Plant FAQs: Everything Plant Parents Ask
1. Can you keep an aloe vera plant indoors?
Yes, absolutely! Aloe vera thrives indoors as long as it receives bright, indirect sunlight for four to six hours daily.
2. Do aloe vera plants require a lot of sunlight?
Aloe vera plant requires bright and sunny conditions, but too much direct sunlight can cause sunburn to plants. Four to six hours of bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. Morning sun or filtered afternoon sun through curtains works beautifully.
3. What is the price range for aloe vera plants?
Aloe vera plant prices at Urvann Nursery start from ₹49 for mini plants. All plants come with free next-day delivery across India.
4. How to care for an aloe vera plant after purchase?
Aloe vera is very easy to care for. Water only when the top soil feels dry, usually once every 7 to 14 days. Keep it in bright, indirect light, always use well-draining soil, and make sure the pot has drainage holes.
5. What size pot is suitable for aloe vera plants?
Aloe vera is very versatile and can initially be planted in a small pot (three to four inches for mini plants, five to six inches for small plants). However, make sure to repot it after the plant starts to grow out of its current pot, typically every two to three years.
6. How to harvest aloe vera gel from my plant?
Always cut mature outer leaves. For small use, cut a small section from the tip. For more gel, remove a full leaf from the base, let the yellow sap drain out, then slice and scoop the clear gel. Store unused gel in the fridge for up to a week.
7. Is aloe vera gel safe to consume?
Aloe vera is used in Ayurveda, but internal use should only be done after consulting a doctor or Ayurvedic practitioner. Pregnant women, young children, and people with medical conditions should avoid consuming it.
8. Can you use aloe vera gel for burns and wounds?
Yes! Aloe vera has been traditionally used to balance Pitta both externally to help heal wounds, burns, and irritated skin for centuries. Fresh gel from your plant can be applied directly to minor burns, sunburns, kitchen burns, cuts, and skin irritations.
9. How long does an aloe vera plant live?
With basic care, aloe vera can live for ten to fifteen years or more. It also produces baby plants over time, which you can repot and grow into new plants.
10. Why are the aloe vera leaves turning yellow?
Most common causes: Overwatering (soggy soil causes root rot), too much direct sunlight (sunburn), or natural ageing (older outer leaves yellow and die naturally).
Solutions:
- If the soil is soggy: Stop watering immediately. Let dry for two to three weeks.
- If leaves are also soft: Check for root rot. Remove from pot, cut rotten roots, and repot in fresh soil.
- If leaves are crispy: Move to a shadier location away from harsh afternoon sun.
- If only one or two bottom leaves: This is natural ageing. Simply remove them.
11. Can aloe vera survive in AC rooms?
Yes! Aloe vera adapts well to air-conditioned rooms despite lower humidity. Many customers successfully grow aloe in their offices and bedrooms with AC.
12. Is aloe vera toxic to pets?
Yes, aloe vera contains saponins that can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. Keep it on high shelves or in rooms pets cannot reach.
13. How many times can you cut the same aloe vera leaf?
For small needs, you can cut from the same leaf tip multiple times until you have harvested about two-thirds of the leaf. The leaf will seal itself naturally after each cut.
14. Can you keep aloe vera in the bedroom?
Yes! Aloe vera is one of the best plants for bedrooms because it releases oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide even at night (unlike most plants). This improves air quality while you sleep.
15. When is the best time to repot an aloe vera plant?
The best time to repot aloe vera is during the spring season, around February or March. Repot if roots start coming out of the pot, the plant becomes unstable, or every two to three years as regular maintenance.
