How to take care of Aloe Pheasant Breast

Sun: Direct & Indirect

In addition to sunlight, Aloe Pheasant Breast plants can also grow under artificial lighting. If natural light is limited in your space, you can supplement with fluorescent or LED grow lights placed a few feet above the plant.

Light: Bright

Aloe Pheasant Breast plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Place them near a window where they can receive plenty of indirect sunlight throughout the day. While they can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much can lead to sunburn on the leaves.

Water: When fully dry

Aloe Pheasant Breast plants are drought-tolerant and prefer to dry out between waterings. Water your plant thoroughly but allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering.

Humidity: Low

Aloe Pheasant Breast plants are accustomed to arid conditions and do not require high humidity levels to thrive. Average indoor humidity levels are typically sufficient for these plants. However, if you live in a particularly dry climate, you can increase humidity by placing a tray filled with water and pebbles near the plant or using a humidifier.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Aloe Pheasant Breast is known for its medicinal properties, but it's important to note that it can be toxic to pets if ingested. Keep your Aloe Vera plant out of reach of pets or consider placing it in an area where your furry friends cannot access it. If you have curious pets, it's best to err on the side of caution and opt for pet-friendly plants instead.

Pro Tip

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Aloe Vera plants are drought-tolerant and prefer to be underwatered rather than overwatered.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
