HOW TO CARE FOR AN ALOE VERA PLANT
from https://www.almanac.com/plant/aloe-vera#
Aloe is a succulent plant, so they are used to a dry environment. I usually water mine once a week, but stick your finger in the dirt and see if it is wet or not. Aloe doesn't like to have it's roots wet since this will cause them to rot. Make sure you have good drainage like sand or packing peanuts in the bottom, so the excess water will drain into your saucer instead of keeping the roots wet. Aloe needs to be in partial sun or they will get sunburned.
over watering is the most common issue, it need to be kept very dry - less is best!
Aloe grows slowly so I water mine every other week. I just test the soil by touching it with my finger. They don't need much water
Not to much actually, They prefer to get spray with water. And it works much better
Hi Denise, aloes need lots of sun and only a little water. Wait for the soil to dry out before watering. They also don't generally need any fertilizer, but if you your plant is struggling, only apply the fertilizer once a year. Look for something that is phosphorus-heavy or use banana peels as an organic option. We stay in South Africa and the Aloes grow wild on the side of the road and we just dump our banana skins around the plants in the garden . You can also make a banana peel tea fertilizer by filling a mason jar with water, and adding the banana peel. Close the lid and let it sit for about 2 days and then water your aloe plant.
