Recently a friends mother complained that there were too many Aloe Vera plants in the back yard (all are potted) and that they were bringing bad luck. I keep them for their medicinal use and I find them to be quite a beautiful plant. Your thoughts?

Dear Judith,
1. In my opinion, I feel that if the aloe vera is a `soft' (short) plant. And although it has some thorns, these are equally soft.
2. I personally do have several aloe vera plants and I also do not have an issue.
3. In fact, if they grow well and healthy, this is indeed a very good sign.
4. We can draw a parallel to having a TV set in the bedroom. Many of us grew up at an age where each room in the house has a personal TV set. There is no issue for many of us.
This is about tolerance level: How thick is our skin? Some of us thrive on pressure.
The key point here is that: we have a short life span on this earth. And, what better way to truly enjoy ourselves while we can.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
