    does anyone know how to care for an aloe plant. or specifically, four. i have two bulb things in eat pot, and once they get bigger maybe i can move them or something. ive heard that you dont have to mess with them at all hardly, and ive heard you should water them, but let them completely dry before you water again?


    thanks alot guys!

    Water them every week or two. Let them get a little sun, and enjoy. :)

    At first when they're small every week or 2 might be ok but about every third or fourth watering, skip a watering. Drying out is important, a well drained container also helps.
    Too much watering will eventually kill them but they are hardy - if you start having lots of babies - slow down on watering.
    Have fun - o and talk to them - they love being acknowledged

    let them get tons of sun and put them in a huge pot or in the ground as they will get pretty big if you let them. only water them once or twice a week theyve died on me from over watering them

    You gotta be careful not to over water, or let them get too much sun. Don't leave them outside over winter unless you live in zone 10 or 11. It's best to let them totally dry out between watering & if you forget to water, it's ok, they're desert plants.
