Aloe vera’s thick, water-storing leaves make it drought-tolerant and easy.
In this article
Light
Bright, indirect light 6+ hours; a south or west window is ideal.
Watering
Overwatering is the number-one killer. Water then let soil dry completely: every 2–3 weeks in summer, 4–6 weeks in winter.
Substrate and pot
Free-draining succulent/cactus mix — never regular potting soil — with drainage holes.
Temperature and feeding
13–27°C, not frost-tolerant; feed half-strength 1–2 times a year.
Propagation
Easy via basal offsets (pups); callus before potting.
Common problems
Brown, soft leaves = water/light issues; healthy roots white/tan, rotten black/slimy.
Desk appeal: Sleek thick leaves, very drought-tolerant. In pet households, note its toxicity.
