Now this does actually make sense as it's in a north-facing bedroom.
Reason
for this? Because aloe vera gives off oxygen during the night -
apparantly
most plants do this during the day - so aloes are recommended as bedroom
plants! I'm going to have to forego my oxygen to save my plant!



Buy a different plant "~)

Here's a book that lists various other options :

Yes, I've already got this book - it's very good.
Going back to my aloe vera - it looks nothing like the one in this book

thin spikes growing at 180 deg. It was labelled as an aloe vera! But none of
the pictures I see ever resemble it!
