Frequently Asked Questions
Please refer to recommended products section or
Water your Aloe plant once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter.
Aloe plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. They can tolerate direct sunlight for a few hours but may get sunburned if exposed to intense midday sun for long periods.
Aloe plants prefer well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix works best, or you can mix regular potting soil with sand or perlite.
Aloe plants can be propagated by removing offsets (pups) that grow around the base. Gently separate the pup from the parent plant, let it dry for a day, and then plant it in a small pot with well-draining soil.
Brown leaves can indicate overwatering, underwatering, or too much direct sunlight. Check the soil moisture and adjust your watering schedule. If the plant is in harsh direct sunlight, move it to a spot with filtered light.
