    I freakin' LOVE Aloe Plants!!! I am not sure how big yours is, but if it looks like the pot is too small, upgrade to a larger one! I water mine, once a week, if needed. Plenty of sun too, they love the sun. If it looks like it drying out(the plant Itself) just add plenty of water. And when i water mine, I put it right in the sink , and let the water run through it, so I know for sure the roots get good and wet.....and that will last a while! Good Luck!!:)

    my mom had me overwinter a potbound aloe several winters ago. I divided it and by spring had about 20 aloe. Unfortunately, come spring she decided that she didn't want 20 aloe and only took one. I kept deviding it when necessary and soon ended up with waaaaaaayyyyy too many aloe. The secret is not to treat them with too much TLC because then they go crazy.
