Place Aloe Vera in a bright location with filtered sunlight, such as a windowsill, to encourage healthy growth. Rotate the pot every few weeks to ensure even light exposure and balanced growth. Remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance, and consider using the gel from mature leaves for its soothing, medicinal properties. Regular care will keep your Aloe Vera thriving and ready to enjoy.

Water Aloe Vera deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season, water approximately every two to three weeks, and reduce watering in the winter when the plant’s growth slows. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has excellent drainage. Always water at the base of the plant and avoid getting water on the leaves to prevent rot.

To plant Aloe Vera, choose a pot with good drainage and fill it with a well-draining, sandy or cactus-specific potting mix. Gently remove the plant from its original pot, being careful not to damage the roots, and position it so the base of the leaves is just above the soil level. Backfill with soil and firm it lightly around the plant. Water sparingly after planting and place in a bright spot with indirect sunlight, as Aloe Vera thrives in warm, dry conditions.
