  1. How to Plant Aloe Vera Indoors When learning how to grow aloe vera indoors you should follow the below basic and simple steps. Step 1 Fill a small pot (that has a hole on the bottom for draining) about 50% full with well-draining soil. The best type of soil is rich and dry. Next, add 25% of organic compost to help encourage fast growth and flower blooms. Step 2 Next, place your aloe vera into the pot. You will want the root ball (where the roots meet the plant) planted slightly below the top of the pot. Cover the root ball with your soil and compost mix. Never cover the leaves of your aloe vera. Step 3 It is then highly recommended that you cover the dirt with small, white pebbles.

  2. This will help minimize evaporation and will also help retain heat within your pots, which is great if you live in a colder climate. Step 4 Wait 1 week before you water your Aloe. Aloe Vera does not need to be watered immediately because they keep the water supply in their leaves for long periods of time. The reason not to water new or damaged aloe vera roots can cause root rot. This will stunt or destroy your plant. Step 5 Aloe Vera prefers at least 8 – 10 hours of sunlight to grow best. In order to do this you should place it in front of a window that is facing west or south if you live in the northern hemisphere or west or north if you live in the southern hemisphere. If you do not believe you will get enough sunlight or heat through your window then you will want to purchase a grow light and a heat mat. If your leaves begin to turn brown they may be getting too much sunlight and you will want to place your plant in the shade towards the evening hours. Step 7 Most Aloe Vera Plants do not require fertilizing to grow. If you do decide to fertilize, it is best to do so in late spring right before the growing season begins. Step 8 If you notice that your aloe vera begins growing leaves along the soil up against the container edges then it is time to transplant your plant.
