Planting and Growing

When grown indoors | Aloe Vera can be expected to grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity extending to 3 feet tall with the flowers | with a spread of 24 inches. It grows at a slow rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 40 years. This houseplant requires direct sun for optimal performance | and should therefore be situated in a room that gets bright sunlight for a good part of the day; it is not a good choice for rooms lit only by artificial light. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil | and may die if left in standing water for any length of time. This plant should be watered when the surface of the soil gets dry | and will need watering approximately once each week. Be aware that your particular watering schedule may vary depending on its location in the room | the pot size | plant size and other conditions; if in doubt | ask one of our experts in the store for advice. It is not particular as to soil pH | but grows best in sandy soil. Contact the store for specific recommendations on pre-mixed potting soil for this plant.
