Aloe vera prefers full sun but may adapt to some shade. Aloe plants (Aloe vera) are a common houseplant and succulent for warm-weather gardens. Their Mediterranean lineage makes them best suited for dry sites in full sun, though they can tolerate some shade. It is a versatile plant with many uses in the garden, and it adapts well to containers when grown indoors.
Aloe looks a bit like a cactus or tropical flower, and when the plant's showy, reddish blooms appear, it grabs attention. The plants thrive in hardiness zones 9 to 11 where it grows up to 2 feet in height with a spread as wide as 3 feet. Aloe prefers well-drained soil with full to partial sun.
