| For the hobby - A few important points to remember. |
| When you water, water thoroughly. Let the water run
through into the saucer and discard that water. Make sure the pot is not standing in
a saucer with water. |
| Do not water again until the pot is dry. Do not mist or
spray the leaves. |
| Take note ! Do not water a warm aloe plant in
full sun. To be safe, water in the morning or evening. |
| Succulents and aloes need very bright light, but never too
close to a window as the sun through a window can be very hot and burn the plant. |
| Aloe plants prosper in good air circulation.
Stagnant air will cause rot in aloes. |
| |
| Potting soil. |
| Mix stones/pebbles into the potting mix for drainage.
The plants need roughly 50% crushed dolomite, stones/pebbles and 50% (or less) potplant
soil. Finer stones for smaller pots. Crushed Dolomite is recommended as it
keeps the soil neutral to basic. |
