Care Guide

• Light: Full sun to bright indirect light — south or west-facing window ideal
• Watering: Allow soil to dry out fully between waterings; reduce to once every 3–4 weeks in winter
• Soil: Free-draining cactus or succulent compost; roots must not sit in water
• Temperature: 15–27°C; keep above 10°C in winter; thrives in Irish homes year round with good light
• Feeding: Light feed with cactus fertiliser once or twice during summer

Important: Aloe Vera gel is safe for topical skin use, but the plant is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets. For pet-friendly plants, see our Pet Safe Plants collection.
