Genus : Aloe

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This plant grows in tropical and temperate regions of Africa. It is best to cultivate it in a warm environment.

🪨 Soil Mix

Plants that prefer dry environments should be planted in well-draining soil. Typically, succulents use a soil mix of potting soil and pumice in a 3:7 ratio. However, this ratio can vary depending on the situation and environment.

🌡️ Environment

This plant thrives at temperatures between 20-30°C, with more vigorous growth above 30°C. It grows well outdoors in summer but should be kept indoors during other seasons.

👀 Characteristics details

For rosette-shaped plants, be careful when watering. Avoid getting water on the leaves to prevent rot. After watering, ensure good air circulation to remove moisture. These plants have succulent leaves that store water. If the leaves become wrinkled, it indicates a lack of water, so provide watering.

☀️ Light

The care varies by plant type and size, but most prefer prolonged indirect light. However, larger plants can adapt well and thrive in direct sunlight.

💧 Water

Water when the soil is dry to avoid overwatering.

🌱 Propagate

After about two years of growth, it is common to propagate by division during spring repotting, although the efficiency is low. 1. Remove the plant from the pot and decide how many sections to divide it into. 2. Carefully separate the roots according to the number of sections decided. (Be cautious not to damage the roots by pulling them apart too quickly.) 3. If the roots are tightly tangled, use sterilized scissors to separate them. 4. After dividing, plant each section into its respective pot.

💊 Fertilize

It is recommended to fertilize 2-3 times during spring and summer. You may increase the amount of fertilizer depending on the size and light exposure. Avoid fertilizing immediately after repotting; wait 2-4 weeks before applying fertilizer.

🌺 Flower

Typically, these plants bloom in winter, but they may not flower if there is insufficient light. Some species only bloom after several years of growth when they are mature. It is challenging to see flowers when grown indoors.

😵 Toxicity

Some species are toxic, so it's advisable to keep them away from pets and young children.
