Aloe's Growing Habits

Soil: Aloe grows in soil with good air permeability and water permeability. This kind of soil has a high organic content, with a pH value of 6.5-7.2.

Light: Aloe likes light and tolerates semi-shade environments. It dislikes direct sunlight and excessive shade.

Temperature: The suitable growing environment temperature is 20 - 30 °C, and the best nighttime temperature is 14 - 17 °C. Below 10 °C it basically stops growing, and below 0 °C the aloe leaf pulp freezes and all of it wilts and dies.

Water: Aloe has a relatively strong drought resistance. Aloe removed from the soil can be kept dry for several months without dying. During its growing period, aloe needs sufficient water, but it does not tolerate waterlogging.

Ecological environment: Aloe's ecological environment must not be polluted, and attention should be paid to ventilation.

Aloe needs not only nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also some trace elements. To ensure that aloe is a green, natural plant, try to use fermented organic fertilizers, cake fertilizer, chicken manure and compost. Vermicompost is even more suitable for growing aloe.
