With
This card is very effective at being a clutch card, capable of bringing back the game, since it heals you for 10. You can combine this with Heartichoke to deal massive damage on your opponent.

Each Solar hero has their own ways of using this card well:
 * Wall-Knight can protect it with tanky Team-Up plants such as and Water Chestnut.
 * can use Rescue Radish to Bounce back Astro-Vera so she can replay it later.
 * Solar Flare can use tricks such as Berry Blast and Sizzle to damage zombies attempting to destroy it. She can also use Sunburn to make more sun, allowing her to play this faster. She can also play this on Pair Pearadise to instantly get double the healing effect.
 * Chompzilla can boost its stats to make it even more threatening, as well as provide bonus attacks from cards like Coffee Grounds.

Against
On top of its great stats, Astro Vera also has a dangerous ability. It is best to destroy it with an instant-kill trick such as Locust Swarm and Rocket Science. It becomes even more dangerous should Heartichoke be on the field, as it can do 10 damage to you. Also, do not Bounce it unless it can ensure your win, as the plant hero can replay it to make it even more threatening.

Trivia

 * It is currently the only fighter that can adjust the maximum health of the hero without the help of special gimmicks.
 * It is also currently the only cactus card in the Solar class instead of the Guardian class.
 * Despite this, the aloe vera isn't a type of cactus.
