Aloe vera quick care tips

Aloe vera is a drought-tolerant succulent variety, so watering around once per week in the peak growing season is advised. Ensure the soil dries between waterings following the 3 Ds: drench, drain and dry. It is also advised to completely stop watering when conditions are frosty, keeping the plant dry for several months at a time over winter.

Aloe vera likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September.

Aloe vera needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this.

Aloe vera

  • Description
  • reviews

Aloe vera is probably the most common of all aloes. It's medicinal properties and easiness to grow indoors make it a must for any household.

Pot on into a good succulent mix, feed in the spring and keep indoors on a bright windowsill out of the direct midday sun, water when the soil becomes dry to touch.

If you are to take any of the leaves for medicinal purposes, it is always best to use the older lower leaves as the Aloe will recover better for any future use.
