Prune Dead or Damaged Leaves
Removing old, brown, or damaged leaves helps your aloe focus energy on healthy growth and reduces weight that could cause tipping.
Bonus Tips to Keep Your Aloe Vera Happy
Temperature: Aloe vera prefers temperatures between 55-80°F (13-27°C). Avoid frost and extreme heat.
Fertilize Occasionally: Feed your aloe vera with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).
Repot Every 2-3 Years: Refresh soil and upgrade to a slightly larger pot if your aloe becomes root-bound or outgrows its current home.
Watch for Pests: Aloe vera can attract mealybugs or scale insects. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth and treat infestations promptly.
Final Thoughts
Getting your aloe vera to stand tall and proud is all about mimicking its natural environment and paying attention to light, water, and soil. With the right care, your aloe can grow upright, lush, and healthy — ready for harvesting that cooling gel whenever you need it. Plus, it’ll be a striking, easy-care addition to your indoor garden.
