    Hey everyone. I've just recently moved to the U.K from South Africa. In S.A there are loads of aloe vera plants and i never had a problem getting one. Now that i'm in the U.K, it's a lot harder to find an aloe vera plant...I ordered one online, but it was tiny. I use the gel inside as skin treatment, and it works very well. So if there is anyone in the U.K that has an (or a few) aloe vera plants that they aren't really using, i would really appreciate it if you could post it to me (obviously i'll pay for postage)

    Thanks:)

    I have two aloe vera plants which i imported from italy but I would like to keep them. If they make any babies I will bear you in mind.

      I have got a few cuttings which I bunged in last year. They look a bit misshapen but I think they're fine. I can let you have a couple of those if you pm me your address.

        I had quite a few, they propagate very easily and grow fast.

        Unfortunately I left most outside as I couldn't find anyone that wanted them.

        Only got the one now.:)
