Migros Ostschweiz Aloe Vera

Aloe vera green plant in a growing pot.

Light requirement:
Aloe vera needs sufficient bright light to grow healthily. An east or west-facing window is suitable as it provides bright, indirect light that benefits the plant without exposing it to direct midday sun. Avoid direct sunlight on the aloe vera, especially during the hot midday hours. Too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves and damage the plant. Tip: To ensure even growth, it is advisable to turn the aloe vera regularly so that all sides of the plant receive the same amount of light.

Watering:
Aloe vera prefers dry conditions and does not tolerate excessive moisture. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings before watering again. When watering, the root ball should be completely moistened. Make sure that excess water can drain away easily to avoid waterlogging. Watering frequency: In general, it is sufficient to water aloe vera plants every 3-4 weeks, especially during the growing season in spring and summer. In winter, watering can be reduced as the plant requires less water.
