How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water the aloe plant only when the soil has dried out completely, or every few weeks. Water it even less in winter. To water aloe, pour water onto the soil near the base of the plant until the soil is thoroughly wet. Allow the pot to fully drain for about 30 minutes, and then promptly empty any excess water that has drained into the pot's drip tray.
Fertilizer
Aloe plants generally do not require fertilizer, although applying it on occasion can can help a plant that doesn't seem as healthy as it should. Fertilize the aloe in mid-spring with a water-soluble liquid fertilizer formulated for houseplants. Dilute the fertilizer with water to half the package-recommended dosage for the pot size.
Sunlight
Place aloe plants near a sunny window where they receive plenty of indirect sunlight, such as a few feet from a south- or west-facing window. Too much bright, direct sunlight can brown aloe's leaves. Rotate the pot once or twice a week so that all sides of the aloe receive equal lighting.
