Want a low-maintenance plant with amazing health benefits? Look no further than the aloe vera! But even tough cookies need a little TLC. This guide covers the essentials for thriving aloe vera plant care.
**Light:** Aloes love bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch their leaves. A sunny windowsill is ideal.
**Watering:** Overwatering is the aloe's biggest enemy! Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry. In winter, reduce watering significantly.
**Soil:** Use a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for cacti and succulents. This prevents root rot.
**Potting:** Choose a pot with drainage holes. Repot every year or two into a slightly larger container.
**Bonus Tip:** Dust aloe leaves regularly to allow for optimal sunlight absorption. With a little care, your aloe vera will flourish and provide you with its soothing gel for years to come!
