Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a popular succulent known for its medicinal properties and striking appearance. With its thick, fleshy leaves arranged in a rosette pattern, this plant adds a touch of greenery and healing to any indoor space. Aloe Vera is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves as a natural remedy for minor burns, cuts, and skin irritation.

Plant Care Needs

• ☀️: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sunlight, particularly in the morning or late afternoon.

• 💦: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water deeply, but infrequently, approximately every 2-3 weeks, depending on environmental conditions.

• 🪨: Use well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti. Aloe Vera prefers soil with good aeration to prevent root rot.

• 🌡️: Prefers temperatures between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Protect from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations.

• ☁️: Adaptable to normal indoor humidity levels. Does not require additional misting.

• ✂: Propagate Aloe Vera through offsets or “pups” that form around the base of the plant. Gently separate the pups from the mother plant and plant them in their own containers.

• ⚖: Low maintenance. Suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

• 💭:

• Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength once every 3-4 months during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Prune dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and health.
• Avoid overwatering, as Aloe Vera is susceptible to root rot. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogged soil.
