Aloe!

I think that there should be an item called aloe or aloe vera. I would grow similar to sugar cane, with it having to be started near water, but as it grows, it would grow randomly in the area surrounding it and into the water. This would be an item that can be re-planted much like carrots or potatoes. The item would be used as early game health potions that can be used to heal yourself or others. The plant would be found in tropical areas. Thank you!
