    It is best to water this plant once a week. Make sure the soil dries out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

    The plant loves the sun but can get sunburned if it is too strong, so it is better to place it in indirect sunlight. It is recommended to slowly acclimate the plant to the sun by gradually exposing it.

  • It is recommended to remove dead or damaged leaves from the plant. This is best done with a sharp and clean pruning knife. Trim the leaves close to the base of the plant for optimal growth.

    It is advisable to keep the soil of the plant lightly moist and water it regularly during the summer months. In the winter months, the plant should be watered sparingly and it is important for the soil to dry out between watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it is important not to give the plant too much water.

    Use a well-draining potting mix for indoor plants. Make sure the potting mix does not become too wet to prevent root rot. Renew the potting mix every few years.

    The plant thrives best in well-draining, dry to slightly moist soil. Ensure the soil has plenty of organic material and avoid overly wet soil to prevent root rot. Using a special cactus or succulent mix can help maintain the proper soil quality.

    Make sure the plant receives an adequate amount of sunlight, at least 6 hours per day. Allow the soil to dry out well between watering. Feed the plant with some plant food every few weeks.

    To clean the plant, you can gently wipe off the dust with a soft cloth or a lukewarm damp cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaning agents, as they can damage the leaves. It is important to clean the leaves regularly so that the plant can continue to breathe optimally.

    The Aloe plant needs a lot of light and prefers to be placed in a sunny spot indoors. Place the plant by a window facing south, east, or west for optimal growth. Make sure the plant receives at least 6 hours of indirect sunlight per day.

    The ideal temperature for this plant is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Make sure the plant is not exposed to temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius. Place the plant in a location where it is not too hot or too cold.

    The humidity for indoor plants like Aloe should be moderate, between 30% and 60%. Too dry air can result in the leaves drying out, while too much moisture can lead to mold growth. It is important to regularly check the humidity around the plant and make adjustments if necessary.

    Houseplants such as Aloe benefit from a slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.5 and 7. It is important to regularly check the acidity of the soil and, if necessary, correct it with special soil or fertilizers. A good acidity level promotes nutrient uptake and overall plant health.

    Use a fertilizer specifically for houseplants monthly during the growing season. Remember to only fertilize the plant when the soil is moist. Flush the plant occasionally with water to prevent buildup of fertilizers.
