Aloe vera is a popular succulent plant known for its medicinal properties and easy care. Here's a guide on how to care for aloe vera indoors:
Sunlight
- Bright, Indirect Light: Place your Aloe vera plant in a location that receives plenty of bright, indirect light. A south or west-facing window is ideal.
Watering
- Water Sparingly: Aloe vera is a succulent and stores water in its leaves. Water the plant thoroughly but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
- Drainage: Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Use a well-draining potting mix designed for cacti or succulents.
- Watering Schedule: In general, water every 3 weeks, and even less frequently in winter. Overwatering is a common cause of problems with Aloe vera.
Humidity
- Humidity: Aloe vera does not require high humidity and does well in normal household humidity levels.
Temperature
- Room Temperature: Aloe vera thrives in typical household temperatures between 55°F (13°C) and 80°F (27°C).
- Avoid Extreme Cold: Keep the plant away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
