Aloe Vera Plants

[blahblah900]

Does anyone know where i can buy these? Can you only buy this at the store? Also, how much does it cost around?

I want to use it on my face but how do i do it? Rub the leave on my face?

I don't know where to get them, but probably a plant nursery or maybe even Lowes or Home Depot. You're supposed to cut open or peel back the outside of the leaf and rub the gelly substance thats inside on your face. I want to get myhands on an aloe vera plant myself because I've got bad sunburn and pure aloe really helps!

It's a plant, so any nursery would have it. Florist's would also since it's very common.

try supermarkets- pathmark or shoprite

i've seen them sell for $5.00.

you only have to cut the the leaf and spread the gel on the desired area.

(make sure you are not allergic to aloe)

I've got a decent sized plant at home depot for 3.99 a couple of years ago. I usually keep a cut in the fridge, it feels wonderful on a burn or other skin irritations. Otherwise you can just cut it open and apply directly.

I got mine at walmart.

I just break it open to get the gel out.

ummmmm could always just buy the seeds

Flower shop around my way is for $3-5.00 for the small ones. Also the supermarket, sells the huge single leaf of the aloe vera.

how long does one last do u finish at one time or let it live and keep cutting? i feel like that idea is cruel. like kep breaking someones arm and let it heal

If you are planning on using the aloe like on your face everyday, I don't know if the plant is the best way to go. You would run out of leaves or whatever they are called really fast. If you bought a really big one you might be able to keep it alive and continue to cut off of it everyday. Mine is pretty small, so I know I couldn't use it on a regular basis or there would be nothing left.
