It is native to Africa, it likes lots of direct light and a warm, dry climate. It prefers temperatures between 18 and 30 degrees, so in winter it is better to place it in sheltered places. This is because the water in the leaves would freeze and the plant would suffer thermal shock, causing its immediate death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aloe vera should be in the ground, but it is also fine in a very large pot, in which place a layer of gravel of at least 2 or 3 centimeters to allow excess water to be absorbed and not risk rotting. the roots. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should not be watered often, on the contrary, once every 15 days is enough, because if on the one hand it is not afraid of drought, on the other it could rot due to excess water and stagnation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
