Aloe is a succulent that likes to dry right out between waterings. Give it a thorough drink, then leave it until the compost is dry. Keep it much drier through winter.

Once established this plant rarely needs watering. Alerts are worth acting on mainly in a long dry spell or in its first year.

A well known medicinal succulent with thick, spiky leaves. Loves bright light and very little water.
