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.
When taking care of your aloe vera plant, follow these plant care tips: 1  Choose an aloe vera-friendly container. Aloe vera has shallow roots that grow outwards rather than deep like most plants. 2  Use the right kind of soil. Aloe vera grows best in very well drained, sandy soil. 3  Place the aloe vera in an ideal location. Aloe vera plants need lots of sunlight and warmth in order to grow properly. Place the plant on a warm window sill that gets plenty of indirect sunlight, and preferably away from drafts. The leaves will start to brown if the plant is getting too much direct sunlight. Aloe vera plants can not tolerate cold temperatures and will freeze very easily. Go easy on the water. This is the most important of the 5 Aloe vera plant care tips. Over-watering Aloe vera plants is one of the main reason why many people are not successful with growing these plants. Aloe vera is a succulent which means it is at greater danger of over-watering than it is at under watering. Aloe vera should be watered every two weeks.
