Re: My aloe doesn't stink...

The plant itself doesn't smell...it's only when you squeeze out the juice/gel on the inside that gets stinky. And there are probably different 'varieties' (don't know the correct botanical term) of aloe. All I know is the stuff that grows wild all over the Keys is pretty smelly and it is definitely aloe! When you first cut the aloe it looks pretty clear, but the juice has a yellow cast that turns pretty yellow and sticky when you squeeze it on your skin. Again there may be different varieties. But the wild aloe works great!!!
