🌞 Light & Placement
Prefers bright, direct light to thrive. Ideal for sunny windowsills, south or west-facing windows, or warm balconies in summer.
💧 Water & Humidity
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly to avoid root rot. Adapts well to low indoor humidity typical of European homes.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Plant in a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Repot every 2–3 years in spring or when roots outgrow the pot. Always use pots with drainage holes to prevent excess moisture build-up.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Toxic if ingested by pets or humans; can cause gastrointestinal upset. Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Moderate grower. Produces pups (offsets) around the base which can be separated and potted individually in spring or summer to propagate new plants.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Reduce watering frequency in winter when growth slows. Clean leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them photosynthesising efficiently.
🐛 Common Issues
Overwatering is the most common issue, leading to root rot. Watch for mealybugs or scale insects; treat infestations with neem oil if needed.
🧬 Botanical Background
Aloe vera barbadensis is native to North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Widely used for its soothing gel in skin care, it is cherished as a hardy and healing succulent addition to European indoor jungles.
