Aloe Vera is a succulent plant species known for its thick, fleshy, and spiky leaves, which store water. It's most famous for its soothing gel, used in various skincare and medicinal applications, such as treating burns, cuts, and other skin irritations. Native to the Arabian Peninsula, Aloe Vera is now commonly cultivated worldwide in both indoor and outdoor settings due to its ease of care and versatility.

Sunlight:

Aloe Vera prefers bright, indirect sunlight. If growing it indoors, a south- or west-facing window is usually best.

Direct Sunlight: Aloe Vera can tolerate some direct sunlight but may suffer sunburn or become stressed if exposed to too much intense sun for prolonged periods. If you notice the leaves turning brown or reddish, it may be a sign of sunburn.

Low Light: Aloe Vera will survive in lower light conditions but won’t thrive or grow as quickly. The plant may become leggy if it isn’t getting enough light.

Water:

Watering Frequency: Aloe Vera is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings. Generally, water the plant once every 2-3 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce watering in the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.

Temperature:

Ideal Temperature Range: Aloe Vera prefers warm temperatures between 59°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C). 

It is not frost-tolerant and should be kept indoors if you live in a colder climate.

Cold Sensitivity: Temperatures below 50°F (10°C) can harm the plant, so it should not be exposed to frost or cold drafts.
