Aloe Vera Yellow Gel: Variety Trait or Immaturity?

New Aloe Vera plant has yellow, smelly gel, not clear. Expert: sap should be clearer. May be variety difference or young plant. If gel works for burns, don’t worry. Plant may change with age. No solution needed.

Bottom Line

• Color ≠ efficacy.
• Young plants differ.
• Monitor; likely normal.

Function over appearance.
