light
Aloe prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sun, but may experience tip burn.
soil
Use a sharp, well-drained potting soil such as a Cactus specific mix. Your soil should take up water, but drain and dry quickly.
water
Aloe are desert plants that have evolved to hold water in their thick structure in order to survive prolonged periods of drought. Too much water or overly saturated soil will cause root rot. Thoroughly water when soil is completely dry.
fertilizer
Fertilize every 2 weeks during active growth. Cut fertilizer strength and frequency in half October - March.
tips and troubleshooting
Aloe, like all succulents, are a flowering plant and produce bright-colored flowers on a long spike.
