Aloe Vera 🌱
Aloe Vera is cool, stylish, and bang on trend, the perfect plant for windowsills, shelves, or anywhere that needs a touch of green. Its slow-growing, stemless form has thick, fleshy grey-green leaves edged with soft serrations, giving it a sculptural look.

Native to hot equatorial climates, Aloe vera is more than happy in a pot indoors here. Easy to care for, it’s as practical as it is pretty, famed for its air-purifying qualities and soothing gel.

  • Temperature: Prefers normal room temperatures (15–25°C). Protect from frost.
  • Humidity: Tolerates normal household humidity — no fuss needed.
  • Feed: Use a cactus/succulent fertiliser once a month in spring and summer.
  • Origin: Native to North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

Good To Know

Not a Diva

Nothing special on this leafy star's rider. Happy just to get on with life and do it's thing, like an old friend just hangin' out.

Air Purifying

These plants help create a fresher and healthier environment by filtering out airborne toxins, and converting them to oxygen. Bonus!

Not for Pets or Kids

Beautiful but with a dark side. The leaves and/or other parts of this plant can be toxic. Keep away from pets, children and adults who never grew up.

How not to kill your Aloe Vera

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Aloe Vera. Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Surviving

Light: Direct

I love the light! A big ol' dose of bright, sunlight each day is my idea of heaven. I'm even up for some direct rays, just as long as it's not a scorcher. That said, I'm pretty adaptable. If light or dappled shade is all you've got, I won't complain.

Watering: Light

When it comes to drinking,I'm a Lizzie Lightweight, the cheapest date in town! Just a small one for me, please, and don't be rushing to top me up either. I won't thank you for it. Allow my soil to dry out almost completely between waterings, and we'll get on just fine.

Humidity: Normal

Atmospherics? I'm really not that bothered, actually. Just your everyday household humidity is fine. No extra attention required, thanks, so don't be comin' at me with that spritzer!

Thriving

Keep it bright, keep it dry, and don’t overthink it. Aloe loves sunlight and hates soggy roots — water only when the soil’s fully dry, and make sure it’s in a pot with good drainage. A little neglect goes a long way with this one.

Memento Top Tip:

If your aloe’s looking a bit pale or floppy, it’s crying out for more light — stick it on a sunny windowsill and let it sunbathe its way back to glory.

  • Feed: Use a cactus/succulent fertiliser once a month in spring and summer.
