Aloes are a dignified species. Despite the most callous treatment they will quietly sit in their space and thrive. My aloe plant has been steadily producing to the tune of 30 offshoots a year while achieving gargantuan proportions. The biggest of its pups are producing almost that many, and the third generation is beginning to produce some.

Since launching the freealoeguy, I have provided a growing number of aloe plants all over the country.

So get in tune with nature. The gel from the leaf actually has first aid qualities. If you are subject to paper cuts or other minor injuries you can break of a leaf tip and treat the wound. While giving anti-bacterial aid it dries and forms a barrier against infection. An aloe plant will do well inside under fluorescent lighting but it benefits from a little sunlight, but not too much.

By the way, if you are in the east of Atlanta area you can pick up your free aloe plant. Or, for a small fee, to cover shipping/handling, I'll send it anywhere in the continental US. Ranging in size you can get the perfect aloe plant for your kitchen window, desk, etc. Now I am sending a large, potted plant with leaves 12 inches and larger.
