Aloe Vera in Terracotta Rose Pot
Aloe Vera Care
LIGHT: Your Aloe plant prefers bright indirect light to full sun. Insufficient light will cause the leaves to droop downwards.
WATER: Water your Aloe only when the soil is completely dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
HUMIDITY: This plant does not require any extra humidity and can handle dry air.
TEMPERATURE: This plant will do just fine in normal room temperatures, between 65-85 degrees.
FERTILIZER: The Aloe Vera does not need to be fertilized. However, if you wish to add some use a balanced liquid houseplant food only once a year in the Spring.
TOXICITY: Aloe Vera can be moderately toxic causing mouth irritation and stomach indigestion to humans and pets.
ADDITIONAL CARE: The Aloe Vera can also provide your family with a plant that can help treat minor burns and rashes. While the gel found in the leaves of an Aloe Vera is safe for your child’s skin, the “latex” (a thin layer of yellow juice found just below the outer skin of the aloe vera plant’s leaves) can cause indigestion and irritation if ingested.
