Planting and care
The first step in aloe plant care is to realize that this plant is a succulent. Like cacti, succulents do best in dry conditions.
Also, make sure that the pot has plenty of drainage holes. Aloe plants cannot tolerate standing water.
Sunlight: Full sunlight, so they do best in the south or west facing windows.
Soil: When growing aloe plants, plant them in a cactus potting soil mix or a regular potting soil that has been amended with additional perlite or building sand.
Water: Water the plant properly. Watering should be done when the soil feels to touch. When the aloe plant is watered, the soil should be thoroughly drenched.
Temperature: Warm weather
