About this image
Aloe vera is a plant species of the genus Aloe. It grows wild in tropical climates around the world and is cultivated for agricultural and medicinal uses. Aloe is also used for decorative purposes and grows successfully indoors as a potted plant.
Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed plant growing to 24–39 in. tall, spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on their upper and lower stem surfaces. The margin of the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth. The flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to 35 in tall, each flower being pendulous, with a yellow tubular corolla 1 in long. Like other Aloe species, Aloe vera forms arbuscular mycorrhiza, a symbiosis that allows the plant better access to mineral nutrients in soil.
Aloe vera leaves contain phytochemicals under study for possible bioactivity, such as acetylated mannans, polymannans, anthraquinone C-glycosides, anthrones, other anthraquinones, such as emodin and various lectins.

What my clients say
Fantastic quality and even better customer service!!
Thank you, Adam.
Gift delivered professionally matted and framed. Satisfied with efficient ordering process, quick delivery, and most important of all beautiful art piece.
I saw a beautiful picture of a lotus that would look perfect in our home, however the larger size that I needed wasn't an option for purchase. I reached out to Adam and he was quick to reply and happy to provide me with the 48 x 48 dimensions that I needed. The large canvas was shipped and arrived in perfect condition. I love it and this will bring us a lot of happiness seeing this beautiful picture placed behind our buddha fountain. We are very happy and Adam was very kind and responsive with providing me with delivery dates too.
