It prefers full sun, dry-tropical climates, and open areas.  The plants grow best in well-drained, sandy-loamy soils with moderate watering.  It also grows near sea-sides. The refined and clarified juice is a clear and blackish clean brown color. Aloe ferox plants are propagated mainly from seed and head cuttings, with plants sowed approximately 3 feet apart.  From seed, it takes about 4-5 years for the plants to reach the first harvest.  When aloe collection is desired, the leaves are cut off close to the stem and placed that the juice is drained off into tubs.  The collected juice is concentrated either by spontaneous evaporation, or more generally by boiling until it becomes a gel of the consistency of thick honey.  On cooling, it is then poured in containers.  The aloe gel can be stored as a gel or it can be dried into a powder and stored in a cool, dry place.  Aloe gel can be dried in several ways, including freeze-dried or dried using a method called spray dry.  The powder can be used to create aloe juice and gels from concentrate.   Sources: https://spiritartsandherbs.com/sources **IMPORTANT INFORMATON: Products are sold as curio items for entertainment purposes only and based upon historical and magical uses.  We do not imply or guarantee that any items provide specific abilities, powers, outcomes, remedies, or treatments.
