🇬🇧 Aloe meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

Aloe is a type of plant that stays green all year and has thick, pointy leaves that feel a little squishy. Inside the leaves there is a cool, slippery gel that people often use on their skin when it feels hot or itchy, like after a sunburn. Aloes grow in hot, dry places, and they don’t need a lot of water because their leaves store it, almost like tiny plant water bottles.
