Aloe

Aloe (Aloe vera), also known as Aloe Vera, is a popular succulent prized for its medicinal properties and low-maintenance care. Its thick, fleshy leaves store water, making it highly drought-tolerant.

Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate some direct sunlight but prolonged exposure may cause sunburn.

• Low light can lead to weak, leggy growth.

Watering

• Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Water deeply, but ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

• Water less frequently in winter when growth slows.

Temperature

• Ideal temperature: 65–80°F.

• Can tolerate temperatures as low as 50°F but is not frost-hardy.

• Keep away from cold drafts and extreme heat.

Fertilizing

• Feed during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted, succulent-friendly fertilizer every 4–6 weeks.

• Do not fertilize in fall and winter when growth slows.
