Care

General Maintenance: Aloes are not very fast-gorwing, so they only need to be repotted when they have clearly outgrown their current pot, or if you notice they have stopped growing entirely.

Temperature: They prefer to be warm, so temperatures of 21°C to 27°C are best.

Light: Aloe need bright light. Some full sun is preferred, but you will need to acclimate them if you intend to have them in very strong full sun.

Watering: Only water when they are completely dry, as they are very prone to overwatering and root rot.

Soil: Use a fast-draining potting mix. Mixes with sand can be beneficial for this. A cactus-mix would be perfect.

Fertilizer: Fertilize with a succulent or cactus fertilizer in the summer only, and don’t fertilize in the winter.
