Aloe for all

I used to think that there was only one type of aloe~ Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is indeed a wonderful plant. I bet you have at least one Aloe Vera plant yourself for burns.

Then I started collecting aloe plants and realized the unique variety that exists.

In my personal collection, there is a Aloe ‘Snowstorm’, Aloe ‘Blizzard’, and Aloe ‘Christmas Sleigh’. All more intriguing than the next plant.

Aloe plants come in different sizes, colors and textures that give off the thrills and chills.

But a sculpture that replicates an aloe plant? Now that’s Desert Steel creativity for you! Craftsmanship marries sleek design.

And while Aloe Vera is noted for its healing properties, we can equally appreciate an aloe sculpture that’s soothing for the soul. Art that comforts and delights simultaneously.

Easy on the eyes, the spiral aloe will look fantastic wherever you choose to display it!

So where would you put it at your dwelling? How about your rock garden? A vibrant ceramic pot that needs a boost?

Around your pool or your front porch? The options are endless. And before I forget, they come with a stake for extra security in placement.

Aloe Vera fast facts!

  • Aloe Vera gel is popular for comprising about 96% water that enables the plant to survive in the arid environments.
  • Aloe produces two different substances, namely gel and latex. Latex is yellow in color, and you can find it under the plant’s skin. Aloe Vera gel is a clear matter that resembles jelly, and you can find it on the leaves.
  • Aloe Vera is an excellent source of saponins, useful compounds that possess antimicrobial properties that help treat several bacterial, fungal, and viral infections effectively.
  • You can find about 240 varieties of the plant throughout Europe, Asia, America, and Africa, but today people cultivate only four of the species for the health benefits. The most cultivated species of the plant is popular as Aloe Vera Barbadensis, and it’s native to North Africa
  • Aloe Vera gel that you extract from the leaves possesses about 75 different vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and enzymes that are highly beneficial for your health.

  • Aloe Vera is popular in the food industry for its use in the production of nutritious yogurts and several beverages.
  • In the ancient Egypt, Aloe Vera was popular as ‘plant of immortality’, and Egyptians also used it as a part of their burial rituals. Cleopatra included the plant in her beauty regimen and used the plant on her body and face.
  • Aloe Vera also has several applications in the cosmetic industry for the manufacture of shampoos, soaps, lotions, and other cosmetic products.
  • Aloe Vera is popular for its long life expectancy, as it can survive for greater than 100 years in the wild environment.

Do nothing decor

Some people like gifts that are delayed. A cooking class perhaps or a ticket to a sporting event. Something that requires more of your time and effort.

But for me, I like instant gratification. Nothing better than ripping the wrapping off, opening that box and using the item right away.

Burning the candle. Hanging kitchen towels. Eating the chocolate. Slipping on those comfy socks. No effort. Just pure enjoyment.

Desert Steel is like that. There’s no assembly required with these special spiral aloe sculptures. Rip open the box, pull them out and instantly delight in them.

Oh….the joys of outdoor living with Desert Steel.

No work. All play.

These aloe plant sculptures are gorgeous and will not disappoint when you rip open that Desert Steel box. I love the sizes in particular (10″, 15″, and 24″) and think Desert Steel did a great job in determining sizing.

Final thoughts…

Tom and I love fun and unique garden decor and I bet you do as well.

And it doesn’t get much more unique than this spiral aloe sculpture set from Desert Steel.

Adding a real thrill to your outdoor decor. Come to think of it, there’s no reason you couldn’t use a few in indoor pots.

Wonderful things come in 3’s….do they not? This set of three aloe sculpture set is going to look equally adventurous in your yard or garden!

Hint hint. It’s time for the rock garden or cactus garden. Do you get my drift? This aloe sculpture set in your new rock or cactus garden for 2020? Let’s do this!

Inground pool? You simply must have all three of these spiral aloe plant sculptures on display.

Because who doesn’t have humongous pots poolside? But the problem with pots is that they take a ton of plants and soil to fill (expensive) and you have to meticulously water or the plants will die.

Not your spiral aloe sculptures! These will look fabulous in all your outdoor pots year-round. No water required! The sun can’t burn their leaves either.

Unique  visual stimulation for you and your guests! How many do you want?

Desert Steel hopes you win this set of three spiral aloe sculpture set!
