Aloe Vera Clumb

Sleek and spotted, this huddling crowd of succulents adds a stylish freshness to your interior space. The densely packed party of tapered aloe plants is a fuller variety than its streamlined cousins, looking sharp with little effort.

Aloe is a slow growing stemless succulent with thick, fleshy, grey-green leaves with serrated edges. Although Aloe vera is typically found outdoors in equatorial climates it is more than happy grown in a pot inside in our more temperate climate. It is an easy plant to care for and is well known for its healing and air purification properties.

Horty Hints

Hold your horses! Be sure not to overwater your Aloe vera Clumb, instead water sparingly every 2-3 weeks.

Skip the snip! If you can, avoid trimming your Aloe vera Clumb as this can cause stress and shock.

Drain away baby! Aloe vera needs well-draining soil as it will not be happy sitting in excess water which can lead to lower leaf rot.

Light

Aloe prefer bright, indirect sun light. They can tolerate some lower light levels, but may become long and leggy or their colour may begin to fade. If this occurs, move to a brighter location.

Watering

The Aloe does best in dry conditions. Water every 2-3 weeks during the summer months, once the top 5cm of soil has become dry. Less water is required in winter. Aloe vera will not tolerate standing in water as this will lead to rotting stems, therefore ensure it can drain freely.

Temperature

Does well in average household temperatures: between 13°C-27°C, but the Clumb can withstand temperatures as low as 10°C, but no lower.

Humidity

Avoid a humid atmosphere. The Aloe vera Clumb prefers to stay dry, so for best results, refrain from keeping it in typically steamy rooms like the bathroom and kitchen.

Feed

Aloe vera should not require additional feeding, but if your plant looks like it could do with a boost, apply a phosphorus-heavy, water-based fertiliser at half-strength during the spring.
