Aloe Care Instructions

Big hugs and a huge thank you for supporting Mother's Aloe! 

Planting Your Aloe

  1. Bury the aloe so the bottom leaves just rest above the soil. If needed, add a stake for support.
  2. Give your aloe a good watering, then allow the soil to dry before watering again.
  3. Aloes thrive in soil with good drainage. For container plants, potting mix works wonderfully.

Watering Your Aloe

  • Always allow the soil to dry completely between watering to prevent root rot.
  • Aloes prefer to be on the drier side, so don’t overwater!

Leaf Damage? No Worries!

  • If your aloe arrives with some leaf damage or tips that look a little sad, don’t panic!
    Aloes are resilient plants and heal quickly. Damaged leaves can either be removed or
    allowed to heal on their own.
  • As your aloe grows, new leaves will replace the old ones. Just give it time and love!

Thin or Discolored Aloe?

  • If your aloe plant appears thin or discolored upon arrival, don’t worry — this is
    normal due to the lack of water and sunlight during transit.
  • Keep your aloe out of direct, harsh sunlight for a few weeks to help it recover
    faster.
  • Your aloe will plump up and regain its healthy color once it’s had time to adjust to
    its new home.
