El best soil for Aloe Vera It is one that is rich in nutrients and porous, so it is advisable to add a little sand or perlite to achieve this. It is also important that the plant lives in a soil with good drainage as it is not a moisture resistant plant but needs a soil that can evacuate the water so that it does not accumulate. In this sense, it helps to have a wide and shallow pot. If you are looking for a pot for Aloe Vera, choose one of these characteristics over a small, deep pot.

We were talking about a soil rich in nutrients and that is why among the Aloe Vera care Compost occupies a place of importance. Use worm humus to enrich the soil and for the plant to obtain the necessary nutrients to live in optimal conditions.

To complete the picture, you have to check the watering if the plant does not look good. If Aloe Vera is not a friend of humidity, then the watering must be spaced every 15 or 20 days to prevent the plant from rotting. And even when watering sporadically but residual, try to do it with little water and avoiding that it touches the plant, pouring it directly on the ground. You can go testing and seeing the results by observing the plant because if you notice that the leaves become thin and somewhat wrinkled, it is an indication that you have to increase the irrigation a little because the plant is lacking water.

Aloe Vera and the exterior

Aloe Vera Leaves

Aloe Vera needs to live in a place with natural light, so if the leaves turn brown, try changing the plant so that it receives the best possible light but paying attention that the leaves do not burn. In some cases, having it in partial shade works, especially when the sun is too strong.

During winter, the plant must also be sheltered as the Aloe Vera is not frost resistant or low temperatures. You can move it indoors to place it near a window or protect it with plastic or something similar.
