All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
With a history stretching back thousands of years to ancient Egypt, where it was known as the "plant of immortality," **Aloe Vera** (botanically known as *Aloe barbadensis miller*) has been revered across cultures for its incredible medicinal properties. Native to arid climates, this succulent stores water in its thick, gel-filled leaves, which is where its famed soothing sap comes from. It's a testament to nature's healing power, now easily cultivated in your own home.
How to Keep It Happy
Caring for your Aloe Vera is incredibly simple, making it a joy to have around. Here are some easy tips to help it flourish:
- **Light:** Aloe Vera loves bright light! Place it in a sunny spot, ideally near a south or west-facing window where it can get plenty of direct sunlight.
- **Water:** As a succulent, it's very sensitive to overwatering. Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry to the touch, usually every 2-4 weeks. Allow all excess water to drain out.
- **Humidity:** It prefers dry conditions, so average household humidity is perfectly fine.
- **Soil:** Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
- **Potting:** Choose a pot with drainage holes. Terra cotta pots are excellent as they help absorb excess moisture.
- **Feeding:** Rarely needed. You can fertilize once a year in spring with a diluted liquid succulent fertilizer, but it's not essential for its health.
What to Do About Pests
Aloe Vera is generally quite robust against pests, especially when kept healthy. However, sometimes unwanted visitors can appear.

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!
