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 Plants in the Garden. As a rule, you cannot grow the Aloe vera plant outside of its recommended zones except in a container in summer, then move the plant indoors to a sunny location for the winter. In areas that have milder climates, you can grow wide variety of aloe plants in the garden. Try Aloe arborescens and Aloe ferox. Both are quite hardy specimens that will do well outside even in moist temperate zones. Aloes are good as stand alone plants or produce lovely displays when combined with other succulents in a container. Try growing aloe outdoors in a container that will also allow you to bring them indoors if a freeze threatens.
