Care and Maintenance Tips

Aloe Vera is not just a plant with many uses; it's also straightforward to care for. Here are some tips to ensure your Aloe Vera thrives:

Watering:   Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Soil: Use well-draining soil, ideally a cactus or succulent mix.

Temperature: Aloe Vera prefers warmer temperatures between 55 and 80°F (13 and 27°C). Please protect it from frost and freezing temperatures.

Pruning:  Remove damaged or overgrown leaves to encourage growth.

Propagation: You can easily propagate Aloe Vera by removing offshoots, known as pups, from the parent plant and potting them separately.
