Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, direct sunlight, but can tolerate moderate light conditions. Too little sunlight can cause the plant to become leggy.
💧 Water: Water only when the soil is completely dry. Aloe Vera is drought-tolerant, so be careful not to overwater.
🌱 Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Aloe Vera doesn’t like wet roots.
🌡 Temperature: Thrives in 60–85°F (16–29°C). Keep it away from cold drafts or freezing temperatures.
🌿 Humidity: Aloe Vera doesn’t need high humidity—average indoor humidity is sufficient.
🍽 Feeding: Fertilize lightly once a month in the spring and summer with a balanced cactus or succulent fertilizer.
✂️ Pruning: Remove any old or dead leaves at the base of the plant to keep it neat and healthy.
