Aloe vera (Aloe vera) does best when watered about every 14 days. It stores moisture well, so let the soil dry out completely between waterings — overwatering is the fastest way to kill it.

Place it in bright direct light. Humidity needs are low. The comfortable temperature range is 15–30°C. During the growing season, feed it about every 60 days.

Care difficulty: easy — great for beginners.

⚠️ Pet safety: Aloe vera is toxic to cats and dogs. Saponins/anthraquinones — vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy. Keep it out of reach, and if your pet chews it, contact a vet.
