An Aloe is not such a troublesome houseplant. Whether you put her in half shade or in bright light. She doesn’t care! She can tolerate direct light very well, and a little less light as well. Although she will grow faster and use more water if you place her in a lighter spot. Do you position her in half shade? That’s fine!
In nature Aloe plants often live in the shade of larger plants. The opposite also occurs in nature. On large empty plains in Central America she grows in the middle of the sun in desert-like areas. Whatever you choose at home: a habitat with bright light or half shade. The Aloe is really used to something in nature!
During the summer the Aloe needs a sip of water once a month. In case of a heat wave she might need an extra sip. But only when her soil is really parched! The Aloe is a succulent plant, and therefore familiar with storing water. Therefore she doesn't like too much water. When the Aloe is positioned in the semi-shade, the chance of root rot is bigger. The plant uses less water when in the shade and it can be difficult to estimate how much water it needs. It is best to give the Aloe less water rather than too much. Especially in winter you can forget the Aloe for months.
Aloe plants like to grow in a nutrient-poor soil. As an indoor plant it does not really need any extra plant nutrition. Do you want to promote growth? Then you can add some extra plant nutrition during the spring and summer. Choose plant nutrition for cacti and use 1/4 of the recommended amount.
To keep the Aloe and its roots healthy we recommend repotting the plant every two years. Choose a flowerpot that is at least 20% larger than the previous one.
