| Hello, I hear that an aloe vera plant is one of the ideal plants to grow when you're living in a dorm. Is it possible that I can grow an aloe plant in my college apartment and harvest the leaves for various uses? I'm mainly thinking about using them for my skin, which is why I want to be sure I can safely harvest and apply the indoor plant to my skin. My living conditions wouldn't allow for it to reach direct sunlight, but I can use indoor light. Or what if I start growing the plant now, where I'll be able to put it in direct sunlight, for about 3 months and then take it with me when I go back to college and continue to let it grow inside my dorm with artificial light for the year? Would that work? I'm also curious about what other plants can I grow indoors to harvest from and use to purify the air. I'm especially interested in the idea of growing my own plants that I can use for herbal tea. Is it possible and safe to consume them if they're not getting much direct sunlight? Thanks! |

| Most aloes need good sunlight in order to grow and survive. They seem to suffer in bright windows or under plant lights of insufficient bulb strength. The key to orchid growing is to match the orchid to your conditions. |
