Getting an aloe vera plant for your home or office is a smart idea, but you might struggle with positioning – does an aloe plant need sunlight or shade?
There are over 420 species of aloe plants; the most popular one in the US is the aloe vera. It found its use both as a decorative and medicinal plant centuries ago.
Succulents like the aloe plant are usually the first choice for newbies to the plant world. This is due to their low-maintenance type and aesthetical appearance.
Get a heavy, sturdy pot with drainage holes that will allow the soil to drain and prevent the plant from tipping over and breaking.
Get a well-draining potting mix, and fill 2/3 of the pot. You don’t need any additional drainage layers like gravel.
