Keep your Aloe Vera healthy and thriving with these easy care tips:
- Light: Aloe Vera prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight is also tolerated but can cause leaf discoloration if too intense.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Aloe Vera is drought-tolerant and prone to root rot if overwatered.
- Temperature and Humidity: Aloe Vera thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 55-80°F (13-27°C). It prefers dry conditions, so average indoor humidity is suitable.
- Soil and Fertilization: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Fertilize sparingly—about once every 2-3 months—using a diluted succulent fertilizer.
- Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves at the base. You can also harvest leaves for their gel when needed.
- Pests: Aloe Vera is generally resistant to pests but can occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if required.
These simple guidelines will keep your Aloe Vera plant healthy and ready to offer its natural healing benefits, while adding a unique touch of greenery to your indoor space.
