Incredibly easy to look after, this aloe variety has a cool pattern on its tough glossy green leaves. It'll thrive in a bright spot, and just water it when the soil becomes completely dry. Treat it like you would a cactus.  Feed it once a year (with a feed for succulents and cacti) in spring and it'll be all set. This is one of our favourite succulents, and it gets a gorgeous coral colour flower that pops up. 

Aloes aren't plants for shady rooms, so make sure they get a good few hours of bright light every day (if that's even possible in Ireland).

Aloe are mildly toxic for pets if ingested.
