Advice about Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera Plants are easy to grow in cultivation in
frost-free climates. They requires a well-drained gritty or sandy potting
compost in
moderate light. If planted in pot or other containers, our advice would be to ensure good drainage
with holes in the container. Use a good quality soil-based potting mix, with
added perlite, grit, or coarse sand. Allow container grown plants to dry prior to re-watering.
The plants may become dormant in winter. No
moisture is required during this dormancy. In areas that get frost or snow they
are best
kept indoors in a warm frost-free environment.
