Aloe Vera

Product Info

Bring home a plant that does double duty with timeless beauty and everyday usefulness. Aloe vera is a low maintenance succulent known for its sculptural, spiky leaves and soothing gel that has been used for generations to calm and hydrate skin. Many people keep it on hand for simple skincare needs like minor burns, dry patches, and post sun relief, but it truly stands out as an easy, resilient houseplant that fits effortlessly into any space.

Perfect for beginners and busy plant owners, aloe vera thrives with minimal attention and plenty of sunlight. Its clean, modern look makes it a natural fit for bright kitchens, sunny windowsills, and office spaces.

Plant Care

Light: Prefers bright, indirect to direct sunlight. A south or west facing window will support strong, healthy growth.

Water: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water approximately every two to three weeks and less often in winter. Overwatering is the most common issue.

Humidity: Adapts well to average household conditions and does not require added humidity.

Growth: Slow to moderate grower that may produce offsets, also known as pups, over time.

Soil and Potting

Soil: Thrives in well draining soil such as FoxFarm Ocean Forest or FoxFarm Happy Frog, both available in store. These blends provide the right balance of aeration and nutrients while preventing excess moisture retention.

Pot: Use a container with drainage to support healthy roots and prevent rot.

Whether you are building a low maintenance plant collection or adding a functional staple to your home, aloe vera is a reliable choice that looks good and serves a purpose.
