Dos
Aloe vera is easy to care for. Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil (cactus/succulent mix is ideal). <br> Fertilize sparingly. Repot every 2-3 years. <br> Watch for pests like mealybugs and aphids. <br> Proper care ensures a healthy plant.
Don'ts
Avoid overwatering (it causes root rot), using regular potting soil (it retains too much moisture), <br> placing it in direct sunlight (it can scorch leaves), over-fertilizing (it needs little feeding), letting it sit in standing water, repotting too often (every 2-3 years is fine), <br> ignoring pests (like mealybugs and aphids), and using harsh chemicals near it.
