What are the climatic requirements for growing aloe vera?

Answer 1

Aloes do best in a warm environment with an ample amount of strong light. They can do well with some direct sunlight part of the day. They do not tolerate freezing temperatures. They can grow quite large in a greenhouse and need only be re-potted when absolutely necessary. Cut the lower leaves for medicinal use as the plant grows from the center outward. Do not over water and you need only fertilize moderately during the warmer months. Good drainage is essential.

Answer 2

Aloe Vera can be grown both indoors and outdoors. So it will grow well in many different light conditions. If you live in a warm southern climate, you may want to plant them outside where they can get plenty of sun light. However, they make great house plants as well! Just place them in a well lit room such as a kitchen or living room or sunroom. In northern climates they will do well in pots outside during the summer, and can be brought inside during the winter months.
