Aloe Vera is a hardy, low-maintenance succulent featuring thick, fleshy green leaves with attractive serrated edges. Perfect for balconies, patios and outdoor gardens, it thrives in bright sunlight and warm weather. Its leaves contain a soothing gel commonly used in traditional skincare. Plant in well-draining soil and water only when the soil becomes completely dry.
Plant Care🪴
☀️ Light
Place the Aloe Vera plant in a bright outdoor location with 4–6 hours of sunlight daily. Morning sunlight is ideal. Protect it from harsh afternoon sun during extremely hot summer months.
💧 Watering
Water thoroughly only when the soil has completely dried. Usually, watering once every 10–15 days is sufficient, depending on the weather. Reduce watering during winter and avoid overwatering.
🌱 Soil
Use loose, sandy and well-draining cactus or succulent soil. Good drainage prevents waterlogging and root rot.
🌡️ Temperature
Aloe Vera grows best in warm temperatures between 18–35°C. During extreme heat, move the plant to a partially shaded area.
🪴 Pot & Drainage
Choose a pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. Never leave the pot standing in collected water.
🌿 Fertilizer
Feed with a diluted fertilizer once every 2–3 months during the active growing season. Avoid excessive fertilizer.
✂️ Maintenance
Remove dry, damaged or yellow leaves from the base using clean scissors. Keep the centre of the plant dry to prevent fungal problems.
⚠️ Important Tip
Overwatering is the most common problem with Aloe Vera. Always check that the soil is fully dry before watering again.
