How to Care For Aloe Plants
Aloe vera plants (or simply aloe) are most recognized for their thick, fleshy leaves, which grow from a rosette and stick out like long, jagged swords. As tropical succulents that store water inside their leaves, aloe plants thrive in dry, arid, and subtropical regions. Many people bring aloe plants into their homes to admire their rugged beauty. However, an even more popular reason people choose aloe plants is the cool, soothing gel found inside their thick leaves that aids in skin care and minor burns.
Aloe Plant Light Needs
Aloe plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight but can also tolerate direct sun. However, be careful not to expose aloe to the intense afternoon sun, as this can scorch the plant.
How Often to Water Aloe Plants
It's best to water aloe plants sparingly (typically once every two to three weeks), allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. To prevent overwatering, ensure there is proper drainage. Remember, aloe plants prefer to be slightly under-watered rather than overwatered.
