Aloe Vera, known for its soothing gel-filled leaves, is a popular succulent that offers both beauty and practicality. Its striking rosettes of thick, fleshy leaves add a touch of green to any space while providing medicinal benefits.
Light Needs: Aloe Vera thrives in bright, indirect light. Place your Aloe Vera near a sunny window where it can get several hours of sunlight each day. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but protect it from intense midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
Water Needs: Water your Aloe Vera deeply but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, then water thoroughly and let excess water drain away. During winter or cooler months, reduce watering frequency as the plant goes dormant.
Humidity Needs: Aloe Vera is drought-tolerant and doesn't require high humidity levels. It prefers dry air typical of indoor environments. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal issues.
