How to Care for Aloe Vera Plants | Theplanthousehouse

Aloe Vera is a simple, attractive succulent plant that makes a great home companion. 

Aloe Vera plants are also useful, as the juice of their leaves can be used to relieve pain from abrasions and burns if applied topically. Here's how to grow and care for aloe Vera seedlings in your home 

How to care for aloe Vera plant

Sunlight:  

Place in bright, indirect sunlight or artificial light. A west or south window is ideal. Aloe Vera grown in low light often grows leggy.

Temperature:

Aloe works best at temperatures between 55 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit (13 and 27 degrees Celsius). Temperatures are ideal in most homes and apartments. You can easily bring your plants outside from May to September, but bring them back in the evening if it's cold at night.

Fertilizer:  

Mix in small amounts (no more than once a month), and only in spring and summer mix in a balanced houseplant formula 1/2 strength.

Reporting:

Follow the instructions in "Planting" above and keep rooting.

Water to aloe Vera :
Watering is the hardest part of keeping aloe Vera healthy, but it certainly isn't rocket science! Aloe Vera is a succulent plant accustomed to dry climates, but still requires ample water for its thick leaves.

Plant aloe vera in deep water, but rarely. In other words, the soil should feel moist after watering, but you should allow it to dry out somewhat before watering again. If the soil is too moist, the roots of the plant will rot.
To make sure you don't overwater your plant, allow the top third of the soil in the pot to dry out during watering. For example, if your seedlings are placed in a 6-inch pot, allow the top 2 inches to dry out before watering again. (Check the dryness of the soil using your finger.)
In general, plan on watering your aloe Vera plant every 2-3 weeks in spring and summer, and even less in autumn and winter. The Fallout and Winter Watering Ring is about doubling the time between watering (compared to your summer watering schedule).
In other words, if you water every two weeks in the summer, water every four weeks in the winter.
Some excess water may leak out from the bottom of the pot while watering. Let the pitcher sit in this water so that the soil absorbs maximum. Wait 10-15 minutes, then add the remaining water.
