Aloe Vera Care Tips: How to Keep This Miracle Plant Healthy

Aloe Vera is known as an easy plant that requires little maintenance. However, there are a few basic rules to ensure that your plant stays healthy and can grow optimally. In this blog we share some simple but essential care tips for your Aloe Vera.

Light and Location

Aloe Vera loves light and does well in a sunny spot. Place the plant by a window where it gets a lot of indirect light, but avoid direct sunlight all day long, as this can burn the leaves. In the winter, when the light is less strong, the plant can be placed a little closer to the window.

Watering

Aloe Vera is used to dry climates and therefore does not need a lot of water. Only water when the soil is completely dry, usually about once every two weeks. In the winter you can reduce watering to once a month. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure the pot drains well.

Temperature and humidity

Aloe Vera thrives at room temperature, between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. The plant likes dry air and does not need high humidity, which makes it ideal for indoor spaces.

Pruning and repotting

To keep the plant in shape, you can occasionally remove older leaves on the outside. Repot the Aloe Vera every two to three years in a slightly larger pot, so that the roots have enough room to grow.
