Transcript: Reproductive Ecology References: Aloe vera reproduces in multiple ways. I personally have taken the baby aloe plants that grow from around the largest plant replant them and watched them grow. The baby plants are called pubs. Aloe vera when fully mature also bloom a flower that releases seeds. I have never used the seeds but I have cut a large leave of the plant and put it is loose soil standing up right watered it and provided sunlight when roots grew I knew the plant would make it. http://www.ask.com/question/reproduction-of-aloe-vera-plants Biotic Interactions Aloe Vera Aloe vera is the scientific name but it is also called simply Aloe. I mainly observed my species in my office and in the Camp I am currently deployed to. Habitat Scientific name/ Observation Aloe vera has the ability to store large amounts of water in its long thick leaves. It has a tough skin that helps keep in the nutrients and water needed to survive when the there is a lack of water. They also gather energy from the sun. The reason I put my Aloe plant outside for a couple of hours daily to keep it looking nice. Aloe Veras grow around the world. I’ve seen Aloe growing in Costa Rica, New Jersey, Afghanistan, and in Kuwait. Aloe can thrive in warm dry climates and also in tropical areas. They can withstand low temperatures as long as the roots do not freeze. Aloe Veras are usually farmed in dry hot areas like Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, and Florida. Energy Ecology Burghardt , J.

Animals can also make their homes near aloe plants because it maintains moisture and source of water. The species that has the greatest biotic interaction with Aloe has to be humans since we use it for so many things. Aloe can be used for first aid, food, shampoo, lotions, diets, and medicine. In this image you can see the air conditioners drain providing water to the aloe vera one of the reasons why there are so many plants in this area.
