However, in hotter countries they grow big! https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&q=aloe+vera+giant&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1205&bih=580&wrapid=tlif133197851792610&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=J2FkT4SbCMTJ8gPn8eytCA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGqyEa357QU

  Reply | Contact Hi Mick, I don't have any Aloe Vera but I have other Aloe (I think they are Aloe) They keep on growing upwards, with mine I have to remove the lower leaves each year and they form a woody stem with the succulent sitting on the top. By the way some of the photos in Ed's reply are miss named by the people who posted them, some are Agave. Now these grow to be huge I have some that are 2m plus. The green ones, not the variagated, throw a flower spike that can be upto 15 m high but then they die unfortunatly.
