Aloe vera is native to the Arabian Peninsula but now grows wild in tropical and subtropical climates worldwide. A sun-loving succulent, it stores water in its thick, fleshy leaves and has been cultivated for centuries for both its beauty and medicinal uses. Indoors, this small Aloe vera will remain compact, gradually growing taller and fuller over time.

Aloe vera care guide

Light requirements:
Aloe vera loves bright light and will thrive in a sunny windowsill.

Watering:
Water sparingly — allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. From late autumn to early spring, reduce watering to almost none.

Feeding:
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a suitable fertiliser. Our vegan, organic Indoor Plant Food, made from sustainably harvested seaweed, is ideal for supporting healthy growth.

Humidity:
This succulent thrives in dry conditions and does not need extra humidity.

Pet safety:
Best kept out of reach of cats and dogs, as it can cause tummy upsets if nibbled.

Propagation:
Aloe vera produces “pups” or offsets at the base, which can be separated and grown into new plants.
