    I have seen them in Valencia on the steps where they sell all the plants,we got ours walking along a beach at sitit bay at tambobo,they were growing like weeds there!
    There is a couple of small ones sprouted from ours now if you want to drop by bacong and collect.

    I got some small Aloe Vera in pots. I am in Northwest Dumaguete. PM me if you are interested. These are small but rooted, if you want larger one just root them yourself from larger cutting they are east to get started. Great to use to remove the "sting" from sunburn.

    Because I have 5, they are small in 4 or 5 inch pots I really only need one. I only use it when I get sunburned... for that it is great. Even though they are small, root cutting are a sure thing...

    I actually want to use my blender on these plants. A small drink of carrot juice with a little Aloe Vera.

    Can you grow these plants indoors and what is the best way to make them grow fast?

    Sounds like you are looking for foliage for you blender? You can grow them indoors but they grow best outside in full sun, so indoor growth will be slower. Fertilize them with nitrogen, and keep them watered but not overwatered. If you want lots of foliage, then get lots of plants so you always have new leaves available, as they do not grow fast. If I may, what is the benefits of carrot juice with a little Aloe Vera?

    Carrots always have great benefits but the main reason I would use them is to dilute the juice from the Aloe Vera. I would also add some Calamansi. It makes the Aloe Vera juice easier to swallow and a little more palatable.

    Thanks for the info. I will make sure put the plants in the sun.
