Light:

Full sun or partial sun (southern, eastern or western exposure). Grow as close to the window as possible.

Temperature:

As a potted plant, maintain indoor temperatures above 40°.

Humidity:

As an arid land plant they tolerate low humidity.

Watering:

Bring soil to a state of dryness between watering.  When watering, thoroughly saturate soil until a little water runs out of the bottom of the pot. Growing in clay pots is helpful as they like a dry soil environment.

Fertilizer:

They are moderate feeders especially when grown under high light: 1/4 tsp./gallon of a balanced fertilizer once a week when they are actively growing is adequate. Stop feeding during the winter months. If you want a plant to be kept small in a limited space, fertilize infrequently.

Pruning:

They will need to be divided once the desired container is over grown.  This should be done when they are actively growing and is done by pulling or cutting the clumps into pieces and replanting each in a separate container.

Insects and Disease:

Aloes have few problems with insects.  If kept too wet, rots can consume the stems and roots and kill the plants.

Comments:

They are very easy to grow and enduring plants.  Over watering is the most common cause of failure.
