I am in zone 9 and mine live outside year round in pots and in ground. It gets REALLY hot here in summer and require more water than what is generally recommended. The "winter" (if you can call it that), season here is when they grow the most for me. Very easy care and big bang for your buck. I literally do very little and they grow like weeds.
Oh sure Naomi, just brag about you nice weather. lol. I live in ohio and I have my aloe vera on a warm heating pad and extra light. If I don't it starts to die in the winter. I let the soil go completely dry before I water it. It does not like long periods with soggy soil. I ended up putting it in a clear glass container so that I could tell how much water it needs. I don't give it any vitamins or anything, just water and light and warmth. Hope this helps a little.
