Aloe Vera — The Most Useful Plant You Can Grow in Florida
Young Aloe Vera pups (Aloe barbadensis miller), organically grown right here in Florida and ready to pot or plant. If you could only grow one plant for your health, your skin, and your home — Aloe Vera would be the argument. This remarkable succulent has been used by humans for over 6,000 years, appearing in the medical texts of ancient Egypt, Greece, China, and India. Cleopatra reportedly used it as part of her daily skincare routine. Alexander the Great is said to have conquered the island of Socotra specifically to secure its aloe supply for his army's wounds. And today, modern science has confirmed what ancient healers knew: Aloe Vera is genuinely extraordinary. The best part? It thrives in Florida with almost no effort, and once you have a mature plant, you have a living first-aid kit, skincare product, and wellness supplement growing right in your home.
What's Inside an Aloe Leaf
The thick, fleshy leaves of Aloe Vera contain two distinct substances, each with their own remarkable properties:
- The clear inner gel: The translucent, water-rich gel that fills the interior of the leaf. This is the part used for skincare, wound healing, and internal wellness. Rich in polysaccharides (especially acemannan), vitamins A, C, E, and B12, enzymes, amino acids, and minerals.
- The yellow latex (aloin): The bitter yellow layer just beneath the skin of the leaf. This is a powerful laxative and should be avoided for internal use — always fillet the leaf carefully to use only the clear inner gel.
Skincare & Topical Uses
Aloe Vera gel is one of the most effective natural skincare ingredients on earth — and having a living plant means you always have it fresh, potent, and free of the preservatives and fillers found in commercial aloe products:
- Sunburn relief: The gold standard natural remedy. Aloe's cooling, anti-inflammatory compounds reduce redness, ease pain, and accelerate healing. Apply fresh gel directly to sunburned skin for immediate relief.
- Wound healing: Aloe has been shown in multiple studies to accelerate wound healing, reduce scarring, and prevent infection. Apply to minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
- Moisturizer: Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue — an ideal lightweight moisturizer for Florida's humid climate.
- Acne treatment: Aloe's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it effective for reducing acne inflammation and redness.
- After-shave: Soothes razor burn and irritation immediately. A natural, chemical-free alternative to commercial after-shave products.
- Hair & scalp: Apply fresh gel to the scalp to soothe irritation, reduce dandruff, and condition hair. Leave on for 30 minutes before washing.
- Insect bites & stings: Apply immediately to reduce itching, swelling, and inflammation — especially useful in Florida.
Internal Wellness Uses
⚠️ Important: Only use the clear inner gel internally — never the yellow latex layer. Always fillet the leaf carefully.
- Digestive support: Aloe vera juice has been shown to support digestive health, ease acid reflux, and reduce IBS symptoms. Blend 1–2 tablespoons of fresh gel into a smoothie or juice daily.
- Immune support: Acemannan, the primary polysaccharide in aloe gel, has demonstrated immune-modulating properties in research studies.
- Blood sugar support: Several studies suggest aloe vera may help lower fasting blood glucose levels.
- Anti-inflammatory: Rich in compounds that reduce systemic inflammation when consumed regularly.

How to Harvest Your Aloe Gel
- Choose a mature leaf: Select a thick, outer leaf from a mature plant. Cut it as close to the base as possible with a clean, sharp knife.
- Drain the aloin: Stand the cut leaf upright in a glass for 10–15 minutes to allow the yellow latex to drain out. Discard this liquid.
- Fillet the leaf: Lay the leaf flat and slice off the top and bottom edges, then carefully slice off the green skin on both sides, leaving only the clear inner gel.
- Use immediately: Fresh aloe gel is most potent when used right away. Store unused gel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
How to Plant Your Pups
- Choose a pot: Aloe Vera prefers a terracotta pot with drainage holes — terracotta wicks away excess moisture and prevents root rot.
- Use the right soil: Cactus and succulent mix, or regular potting soil amended with coarse sand or perlite for excellent drainage.
- Plant the pup: Place the pup in the center of the pot, roots down. The base should sit just at or slightly above the soil surface.
- Wait to water: Don't water for the first week after planting — this encourages roots to establish and prevents rot.
- Find a sunny spot: Bright indirect light to full sun. A south or west-facing window is ideal indoors; outdoors in Florida's sunshine is even better.
Growing Tips for Florida Gardeners
- Sun: Full sun to bright indirect light. Thrives outdoors in Florida year-round.
- Water: The most common mistake is overwatering. Water deeply, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again — typically every 2–3 weeks in Florida's humid climate.
- Soil: Well-draining is essential. Aloe will rot in soggy soil.
- Fertilizer: Minimal. A light application of balanced organic fertilizer once in spring is sufficient.
- Propagation: Aloe produces pups around the base of the mother plant. Separate and pot them to create new plants — your one plant becomes many over time.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant. Occasionally susceptible to mealybugs — wipe off with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.

Cheap but must babysit your food (TL;DR: spend a bit more for a better one)
Size: Medium Capacity
I have the “Medium” size of this and have now had it for a year and a half. It basically does what a toaster/convection oven is supposed to do, but I do keep encountering issues with burning food. There is very little space between the coils and the rack so even thin things like slices of bread are very close to the heating elements. As there is no way to only use the lower coil, any toasting or cooking requires preheating so the coils aren’t all at full capacity for 5+ minutes. If you essentially preheat it, you can then toast or cook, but keep a close eye on it as even with preheating, you may need to turn and flip what you’re toasting every 30-90 seconds or the section under the coils will burn while the rest remains pale. When you’re making toast, it’s a lot of effort and practice to get your bagel or toast just right. As there is very little space and the elements are intense, even if you force the rack below where it’s meant to go (you can kind of wedge it between the guide and the bottom heating element cover), you can only fit things that are about 2-3” tall and those may still be a challenge. If you want to put a fairly tall piece of frozen lasagne in, for instance, the top will burn to a crisp before the center is even thawed. I’ve never had issues like these with previous toaster ovens, even small ones. I think they really did everyone a disservice by not making it about an inch or two taller inside.
I also find it extremely challenging to clean. I’ve had many toaster ovens over the years and none have stained and discolored this easily. It’s an issue partly because of the small size inside, so you can’t reach everywhere, but even the glass door has gotten stains I cannot remove despite trying everything from lemon juice and baking soda to Ajax and Bar Keeper’s Friend.
Overall, can you find ways to make it work as long as what you’re cooking is short? Yes. Is it convenient or ideal or a great toaster or toaster/convection oven? No.
Update: About a month after I reviewed this, it caught on fire. I had about a teaspoon of oil on a baking sheet and when I flipped the piece of chicken halfway through time, a tiny bit splattered and because the top coils are right there, it burst into flames. I know enough to close the door and unplug immediately so it burned itself out. Now, the fact that oil splattered a bit is my carelessness, but as I said, it was only a teaspoon of oil so it’s not like it was being deep fried, and I have done the same thing with every toaster oven I’ve owned and never had that happen, because the coils shouldn’t be so darned close that they touch the food. So that was it for me. I spent about $25 more for a Hamilton Beach Easy Reach that I LOVE. It has enough space, doesn’t take up much counter space, and is a breeze to keep clean. I wish I had just spent a little more the first time and gone with what I have now. Save yourself my mistake and a toaster oven ending up in a landfill and spend the extra $$ to get one that works better and is safer. My parents have the older model of what I now own and have had it for over a decade, using it at least once a day, often twice a day.

Works well.
Size: Medium Capacity
Air fryer and toaster work very well (Thats all I tried so far.). About 2 medium potatoes sliced into wedges fit in tray. The top and bottom get very hot. Will burn if you touch them.

Testing it out
Size: Medium Capacity
ORIGINAL REVIEW, OCT 2025:
So far this little oven is doing great. Right now it's 4 stars but has the potential to change as I use it more often, right now I've only used it a handful of times.
Heats up quickly so there's no growing old while waiting for preheating, a definite plus. The air fry option is super quiet, way more quiet than any air fryer I've ever had. Downside is there is no way to adjust temp for this setting so you really have to keep an eye on the food to see when it's done.
DO NOT USE PARCHMENT PAPER IN THIS OVEN! I made that mistake because I use it in my regular full size oven as well as my old air fryer, but it's not compatible with this oven! I almost started a fire! Good thing I didn't walk away from it.
I like that there's a timer feature so it will shut off, very helpful in times you are in the middle of something else at the same time and this avoids your food getting burnt. There's also a stay on feature in case you prefer that. For the timer you have to make sure you pass the 10 minute mark and then set it to the time you want.
The oven is smaller than I expected. I don't know yet if a pizza will actually fit, I'll update when I attempt it. I've only made English muffin pizzas and French bread pizzas so far.
One thing I really like about this oven is that it tends to cook food evenly. I've had toaster ovens that cook more on one side than the other and more on top than the bottom and it's frustrating! The stuff I've made in this oven were nice and crispy both on top and the bottom and it's so nice to not have pizza that's burnt on top and mushy on the bottom! I'm glad finally a manufacturer figured this out.
This toasts really nice too. Watch the time with this. My bread got toasted way faster than with my old one!
Overall I'm happy with this. I'll update as necessary.
