Aloe vera 'Chinensis'

Care at a glance

Water

Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-4 weeks. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

Light

Provide bright, indirect light; a south- or west-facing window is ideal. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Humidity

Average household humidity is sufficient.

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C).

Soil

Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix.

Fertilizer

Fertilize sparingly with a diluted liquid succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).

Toxicity

Aloe vera is mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested, potentially causing digestive upset.

Propagation

Propagate easily from 'pups' (offsets) that grow at the base of the plant. Carefully remove the pup and plant it in its own pot with well-draining soil.
