Do not make this mistake when taking care of aloe houseplants..Aloe barbadensis vera careThe first step in aloe vera plant care is to realize that this plant is a succulent. Like cacti, succulents do best in dry conditions.

Sunlight
Aloe vera plants need bright light, so they do best in south- or west-facing windows.

Watering
Water the plant properly. The soil of the aloe vera plant should be allowed to go completely dry before being watered. When the aloe plant is watered, the soil should be thoroughly drenched, but the water should be allowed to drain freely from the soil.

When growing aloe vera plants, plant them in a cactus potting soil mix or a regular potting soil that has been amended with additional perlite or building sand.
