Aloe vera: Care & tips

Below all the basics to take care of the Aloe vera. Good luck!



How much water does the Aloe vera need?

The Aloe vera does not need much water. The exact amount of water you need to give depends on where your plant is located, how much light falls on that location, how humid the air is around the plant, how big the plant is and what kind of pot the plant is in. That is why it is always best to check with your finger.

A plant that is not very thirsty can dry out almost completely. Is your pot very light? Then it's probably time!



How much light does the Aloe vera need?

This plant likes partial shade to a lot of indirect light. Therefore, the best place for this plant is near a window facing North, East or West.



How often should the Aloe vera be fed?

It is best to only feed the Aloe vera when you see that it is in active growth. This is the case when new, young leaves keep appearing. Usually this happens in the warmer months of the year but with some plants, depending on their situation, it can be all year round.

With active growth, you can feed the Aloe vera once a month. We recommend organic and natural food in granular form. Granules release food slowly and for a very long time, unlike liquid food, and therefore only need to be added to your plant once or twice a year.



How can you propagate the Aloe vera?

You can propagate the Aloe vera by cutting off a leaf from the plant and letting it take root in water or soil.
