How to Grow Aloe Vera Plants at Home

Established Aloe vera plants are available at almost any garden supplies shop or plant nursery.
Aloe plants are not very frost tolerant. If they are grown outdoors in warmer climates they should be planted in full sunlight, or partial shade. Apply a balanced liquid feed during the growing season.
For growing Aloe Vera indoors its best to place it near a window that gets a lot of sun. During summer you can move the pot(s) outside.
Watering should be kept to a minimum during the winter months but during summer the plant will require a lot of water.
If planting from scratch or re-potting your Aloe plant the potting soil should be moderately fertile and fast draining with a couple of inches of gravel in the bottom of the pot.
