Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should you water your aloe vera?

A: Aloe vera requires far less watering then you most likely imagine. Water in the summer season every ten to fourteen days. Water your plants in the autumn, winter and spring months roughly one time every three to four weeks. An effective pointer in figuring out watering schedule is to permit soil to dry out entirely; poke the soil two inches deep to feel it if less than dry, postpone watering. Overwatering of aloe vera will rapidly cause plant to root out.

Q: How much sunlight does an aloe vera need?

A: For the most optimal growth, an Aloe vera needs at least 4-6 hours of full sun per day. However, you could give plants tolerate various conditions for temporary spells. The best room to give your aloe is a room with a south or western window because those areas allow more sun exposure. Any more light, like a grow light, may be needed indoors for plants grown in little to no light.

Q: Why are the leaves of my Aloe vera plant withered and soft?

A: Wrinkled or somewhat soft Aloe vera plant leaves are the general indicator of an underwatered plant which is drawing from its stored water supply in leaf tissue to help sustain itself. Be sure to thoroughly soak the plant and it will perk up in about one to two days. Mushy or see through lower leaf structure indicate that you may have roots rot. If this is the case, it's important to get the Aloe plant out of the pot, cut off any roots that are black and mushy, and repot it with dry soil.

Q: How do I get the Aloe vera gel off my plant?

A: Take a mature outer leaf close to the base and cut with a clean knife. Set the leaf standing up for a few minutes, allowing yellow sap near the cut to drip away. Split the leaf open long-ways and scoop out the transparent gel using a spoon. Many people put the gel onto the skin to soothe sunburns, cracked skin, or little nicks, or they use it on their scalp for conditioning.Test the gel in a small patch of your skin before applying it.

Q: My aloe vera plant has baby plants at the base, should I do something?

A: Those are called pups, suckers, off-sets and what not, this just means the plant you currently own is a happy healthy plant! You can let them in the pot for now. However, these little plants will eventually grow a little too big and compete for nutrients and space with the mother plant. When your pup(s) is roughly 7-10cm (3-4inches) tall and has some leaves, use a clean knife, trim the sucker off the mother and leave the cut side to dry for a day before putting in its own pot with succulent soil to root! They root really easily too.

Q: When do I need to re-pot my Aloe vera?

A: Your Aloe Vera needs to be repotted once it becomes root-bound ( roots are showing outside the drainage holes) or the plant starts leaning as the foliage gets too heavy for a small plant in its small pot. This Aloe Vera plant comes in 3 inch pot size so you can re-pot into a slightly bigger pot when your plant 12-18 months of ordering. Remember make sure pot contain drainage holes and fill it with the Sandy succulent or cactus soil.
