Overview: Aloe is an incredibly easy-to-keep, highly decorative houseplant that can pack a punch with its spiny, fleshy leaves. Aloe is the same as Aloe Vera, and certain cultivars can be harvested for medicinal use. However, be cautious not to use just any aloe medicinally, as not all are safe for skin application. Only a few cultivars are accepted as having medicinal benefits and are safe to use on delicate skin.

List Of Aloe Plants Suitable For Medicinal Use
Aloe vera, also known as Aloe Barbadensis Miller, is renowned for its healing properties. The gel extracted from its leaves is commonly used to treat burns, wounds, and skin irritations. It can also be consumed in juice or supplement form to aid digestion and promote overall health.
List of Medicinal Aloe Plants
While there are over 650 species of aloe, only a few are commonly used for medicinal purposes. The most popular ones include:
Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Miller): The most widely used for its soothing and healing properties. Typically grows to about 2-3.5 feet (ca. 60-105 cm) tall.
Aloe Arborescens: Known for its wound-healing properties and immune support. Can reach up to 10 feet (ca. 3 m) tall.
Aloe Ferox: Used for its laxative properties and skin benefits. Can grow up to 10 feet (ca. 3 m) tall.
Aloe Striata: Known for its ability to store water and support digestion. Usually smaller, with a more compact size.
Can You Keep Medicinal Aloe Indoors or Outdoors
Aloe vera is well-suited for indoor growth due to its low maintenance and ability to thrive in warm, sunny environments. However, it can also be grown outdoors in warmer climates. Other medicinal aloes, like Aloe Arborescens and Aloe Ferox, are more commonly grown outdoors due to their larger size and need for more space.
The Right Lighting For Aloe Plants
If you've got an aloe plant, then get ready to roll out the red carpet for some serious sunbathing. Aloe plants are true sun worshippers. They thrive in bright, indirect light and will be happiest in a spot where they can soak up the rays for at least six hours a day, preferably more! Think of them as the sun-lovers of the plant world.
Beware, too much direct sunlight can scorch their leaves faster than a bad sunburn during an English heatwave. If you notice your Aloe plant starting to look a bit crispy around the edges. It might be time to offer a little shade during the hottest parts of the day, or move it back from the window a little. We often use larger plants as shade by our windows — we tuck sensitive little things under some overhanging foliage or In front of a taller houseplant.
We don't recommend keeping Aloe under grow lights, but if you have no source of natural light, then that may be necessary for you. If you want a simple grow light that you can put into your standard decorative lamps, check out this e27 bulb that we use in our homes and office. For a more detailed guide on LEDs and grow lights, check our dedicated grow light guide.
At The Houseplant Shop, we know that the right lighting can make all the difference for your aloe. We made the mistake of trying to grow some pups in low lighting, and they completely changed colour and grew really slow and leggy. So, the moral of our story is to find a sunny windowsill or a bright spot in your home and let your stunning little aloe bask in the glow. With the perfect lighting, your aloe will thrive and look fabulous, ready to impress with its soothing gel if you bought the right medicinal Aloe species.
Aloe Watering Needs
Aloe plants store water in their fleshy leaves and can go for quite a while without a drink. To keep your Aloe happy, the key is a thorough watering followed by a fairly long dry spell. Think of it as a brief tropical monsoon followed by a relaxing stint in the hot desert.
Here's the insider tip, at The Houseplant Shop we always let the soil dry out completely before giving our Aloe plants more water. We stick our fingers about an inch into the soil and if it feels like a desert, it's time for us to give them a watering session. You can buy a digital moisture meter to take the guesswork out of watering your plant.
When we do water, we give it a good soak until we see water escaping from the drainage holes—like a mini rain shower for our plants. If you follow this technique, you won't run into any problems with your Aloe as a houseplant. Remember that as it's an indoor environment, there isn't the drainage or the wind to help dry the soil out, so water sticks around a lot longer and causes real issues for roots.
Overwatering is an Aloe's arch-nemesis. Too much water can lead to root rot faster than you can fix it. If you're ever in doubt, lean towards under watering. Your Aloe will appreciate the restraint and reward you with its resilient, spiky charm for years to come.
Keeping your aloe just the right amount of thirsty is the secret to success. Let it dry out and enjoy the hands off magic of this desert beauty. After all, a happy aloe is a hydrated but not overindulged aloe.
Aloe Humidity Requirements
If you're wondering what humidity is right for an Aloe plant, we've got you covered.
Aloe are the desert's darlings, preferring low humidity levels that remind them of their arid origins. Think dry, not tropical. They're not fans of humid, sauna-like environments and prefer to keep things crisp and airy. They don't make good bathroom pets. If your home has average indoor humidity, your aloe will be perfectly happy, but if you have a very wet area with lots of other houseplants, maybe avoid putting this one in that zone.
There's no need to mist your aloe or place it next to a humidifier. Let it bask in the dryness, and it'll reward you with its iconic, soothing leaves and gorgeous colours. Remember, over-humidity can lead to problems like root rot and fungal issues and icky yellow leaves which your aloe would rather avoid - we think rather spoils the vibe that we're all going for!
We would always recommend purchasing a humidity monitor to ensure that there are no high or low zones over the day with the inbuilt memory - this stores average humidity and temperatures over a 24-hour period, which enables you to monitor zones in your home more closely. You can even access graphs on your phone to view long term data trends to see how the temps fluctuate in your home over the different seasons.
Aloes love a good dry spell. So, keep the humidity low and your aloe high on life. Don't be afraid to not water it some weeks every so often. After all, a happy aloe is one that feels right at home in its desert-inspired environment.
The Right Temperature For Aloe Plants
Let us take the guesswork out of keeping your Aloe plants perfectly comfortable. If you're wondering about the ideal temperature for your Aloe vera plant, here's the scoop.
Aloe plants are the Goldilocks of the plant world when it comes to temperature – they don't like it too hot or too cold. They thrive best in temperatures between 10 °C (50 °F) – 38 °C (100 °F). You can purchase a 24-hour thermometer, which will tell you your average day and night temperature and humidity to allow you to monitor your Aloe.
During the warmer months, your aloe will appreciate a sunny spot in the window, but avoid letting it roast in direct, scorching heat outdoors. IF you ever notice it looking bad or changing colour in a way that you don't like, pull it back from the window. In the winter, make sure to keep it away from frosty drafts and chilly windows. Aloe plants are not fans of the cold and can suffer if temperatures drop below 10 °C (50 °F).
Keeping your aloe in its ideal temperature range is key to its happiness and health. So, aim for that perfect balance, and your aloe will thrive.
Choosing Soil For Your Aloe & How To Repot It
Aloe plants have a simple request: well-draining soil. Think of it as their version of a luxury mattress—firm, supportive, and with plenty of airflow. A cactus or succulent potting mix is ideal, as it's designed to prevent the dreaded soggy soil situation. You can even add a bit of extra perlite or sand to ensure those roots stay nice and dry. Remember, Aloe plants despise waterlogged soil like a cat hates bath time.
Easy DIY Soil Mix Recipe For Aloe Plants: For a basic mix, add 1 litre of coco coir, 1 litre of perlite, 1 litre of compost and 1 litre of sand. Feel free to scale this up until you have enough litres to fill your new pot.
Advanced DIY Soil Mix For Aloe: Our favourite Aloe soil recipe uses a bit of a more complicated mix — 4 litres of coco coir, 4 litres of pumice, 4 litres of sand, 4 litres of grit, 1 litre of worm castings. You can also add 1 litre each of: activated charcoal and unscented zeolite.
Soil Mix Components: If you can't find these ingredients locally or if you are the online shopping type, you can buy the soil mix components online here: Small Coco Coir Pack — Bulk Coco Coir Pack, Orchid Bark, Pumice, Horticultural Sand, Horticultural Grit, Worm Castings, Perlite, Lecca Balls, Activated Charcoal, Zeolite
Soil vs Soilless Mix For Aloe Plants: If you've ever had a pest infestation, then you may be tempted to grow plants hydroponically without any soil at all so that pests cannot survive in it. Coco Coir is the bridge between hydro and soil, giving you the best of both worlds. Coir has natural antifungal properties that help prevent root rot, furthermore it's completely inert which means that pests cannot survive in it unless you keep it really wet until it rots. You can even pasteurise the coir before use to ensure no hitch-hikers have jumped in during transport. You can add perlite or vermiculite to make it more chunky, but avoid adding any organic material that could decompose and attract pests. Be sure to stick to a good houseplant fertilizer, as coco coir has no natural nutrients to feed your plant.
Potting: When it comes to picking a pot, Aloe plants aren’t too fussy, but they do have one must-have: drainage holes. A pot with good drainage is non-negotiable for most houseplants, but definitely so for Aloe. It is advisable to select a pot that is slightly larger than the root ball, approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) wider, to provide adequate space for your aloe plant to grow without causing root rot. Otherwise, the Aloe plant will continue to appear fine above the surface until one day the roots turn to liquid, causing the plant to rot from the inside out. We're kidding, but not kidding. Beware!
Aloe indoor plants don’t mind being a bit root-bound as they love being dry anyway, so you only need to repot them every couple of years or when they start outgrowing their current digs. When repotting, gently remove the plant, shake off excess soil, and place it in its new home. Fill in with fresh, well-draining soil, and give it a light watering to help it settle in. Voilà.
Fertilizing & Feeding Aloe Plants
Aloe vera plants are relatively low-maintenance when it comes to feeding – they're not going to demand a five-course meal. A light feeding once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer) will do the trick. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer with an NPK ratio of no more than 10-10-10 or 8-8-8, diluted to half strength. It's like a refreshing smoothie for your aloe, giving it just the right amount of nutrients to thrive. In house at The Houseplant Shop we exclusively use Ionic Formulex to feed both our mothers and our stock.
Over fertilizing can do more harm than good, so keep it minimal. Think of it as a treat rather than a staple – too much love can lead to weak, leggy growth or even root burn.
How To Prune Aloe Plants
Let’s talk about aloe plant pruning – because even the desert dwellers need a little sprucing up.
Pruning your aloe is like giving it a much-needed haircut. Got any dead or damaged leaves? Snip those off with a sharp, clean pair of scissors or shears, or simply pull them off with your fingers. Often if leaves do not want to come when you pull them, giving them a twist and pull will do the trick. When cutting or twisting, if you're left with a stump, leave it to go a little yellow and mushy and after some time you should then be able to pull it off easily. Not only will your aloe look fresher, but it’ll also focus its energy on new, healthy growth.
Now, if your aloe is outgrowing its pot and looking a bit too lush, don’t be afraid to remove some older, outer leaves. Think of it as giving it room to breathe and stretch its leaves a little. Just be careful to avoid over-pruning – you want a stylish trim, not a drastic buzz cut with a long bare neck.
Propagating Aloe Plants
Propagating aloe plants is as straightforward as it gets. Simply look for "pups" or offsets that sprout around the base of the parent plant. Gently separate these mini-aloe plants from the parent using a clean, sharp knife. Let the pups dry out for a day or two to heal any cuts, then plant them in a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Water sparingly at first, and watch your new aloe babies grow and thrive!
Propagating aloe vera through leaves is a bit of a challenge and often doesn’t yield successful results. Unlike some other succulents, aloe vera does not easily root from leaf cuttings. When you cut a leaf, it tends to wither and rot rather than develop into a new plant, so, stick with the pups for a higher success rate in propagating your aloe vera!
Aloe Pests & Problems
Even the most carefree of houseplants can run into a few issues. Here's how to tackle common pests, unwanted guests and frequent problems that may affect your Aloe plant.
Common Aloe Pest Species:
Spider Mites: These tiny pests can spin small, discrete webs towards the base of a plant, and they suck the life out of it until it dies. They have a 2-4 week life cycle, making them one of the shorter living pests that invade our houseplants. Spider mites can often be found by spotting small discrete webs in the lower parts of your plants that look like a spider may have moved in - bad news - 9/10 times it's not a spider, but you'll wish it was.
Aphids: Often unwanted guests brought in from our gardens or intruders who fly through our windows, aphids can be tricky to get rid of once established due to the life cycle of an adult aphid. Eggs are often laid within the plant itself and are impossible to remove. Always be vigilant for eggs hatching after 30 days, and continue treatment for several full adult life cycles. Consider using a systemic pesticide to provide a 4-week window of treatment.
Mealy Bugs: These fluffy white bugs love hiding in leaf joints. They look kind of like large fluffy lice. They have very visible legs and antennae, and are visibly hairy, ranging from the size of a pin head to the size of a small woodlouse. Mealy bugs can be very difficult to get rid of due to laying eggs inside the stems, in the folds of leaves and within the soil where you can't see them. It can be helpful to change your Epipremnum's substrate if you have a bad mealy bug infestation. The life cycle is 4–7 weeks from egg to adult, so you need to be vigilant for eggs hatching out after the first treatment, and you must keep reapplying pesticides. Consider using a systemic treatment to give you a 4-week window of assistance with your pest infestation. If you can't re-apply the systemic, resort to other listed methods until you can re-apply.
Scale Insects: These hard-shelled pests can be tricky. Solution: Scrape them off gently with a soft brush and spray the plant down with our DIY pesticide listed below.
Common Aloe Pest Treatments:
Natural Leaf Wipe: As a preventative and spot treatment, you can wipe leaves with undiluted pure neem oil to give them a gentle shine whilst deterring any pests.
Instant Death: Dab visible plant pests with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to send them packing. This is a tried and tested classic method. If the pests don't die instantly when they're drenched in the liquid, or they are large like scale insects, pick them off the plant and put them into a glass with enough alcohol to completely cover them. Few creatures can survive being submerged in pure alcohol.
Natural Homemade Pesticide: If you’re having issues, we would always recommend an insecticidal soap based approach as a first line of defence, as it's much more gentle on your plants. To be effective, the pests must come into contact with the liquid. To make a simple DIY neem oil and soap recipe, mix 1 teaspoon of neem oil with 1/2 teaspoon of insecticidal soap and 1 litre of water and apply with a spray bottle, ensuring all parts of the plant are covered in the pest spray. You can re-apply this solution every few days without upsetting your plants until there's no more signs of pests.
Natural Pesticide: If you prefer a premixed solution, you can purchase concentrated neem and soap solutions like SB Plant Invigorator that you dilute and apply with a spray bottle. Make sure you follow the directions on the back of the bottle. This premixed natural pesticide is a concentrated formula of horticultural soap and neem oil to help remove pests from your plants naturally and without the use of harsh chemicals. Sprays like this often have added nutrients, so you cannot reapply it every few days as it could burn the plant leaves.
Chemical Pesticide: For a tougher approach, we recommend a systemic pesticide to give the plants a 4-week window of protection to kill all stages of the pest's life cycle without repeated treatments. The only systemic pesticide available in the UK currently is Acetamiprid concentrate. This is known to cause some distortion in new growth immediately after application. To fix Acetamiprid distorted leaves, simply cut the new growth off back to the last healthy point, and your plant should grow back with normal leaves.
Common Aloe Problems: Diagnosing and Fixing Aloe Plant Woes
Yellow Leaves: If your plant has yellowing leaves, it might be overwatered. Solution: Check the soil—if it's soggy, let it dry out and reduce watering. Consider purchasing a digital water meter to take the guesswork out of watering. Also, make sure your pot has good drainage and that your soil recipe is chunky and airy.
Brown Leaf Tips: This could be a sign of low humidity or under watering. Monitor your humidity, and if needed, increase your humidity by using a humidity tray to increase localised humidity. We don't recommend regularly misting your plant as this can lead to fungal issues, but if you proceed, do so with caution and only spray the leaves at night to allow them time to dry before light hits them in the morning.
Leggy Growth: If your plant looks more vine than leaves, it might need more light. Most plant species start to look bad when they're not getting their needs met - it's one of the first signs of lighting issues. Try moving your plant to a brighter spot or adding supplemental LED lighting.
Root Rot: If the roots are black and mushy, your plant might be suffering from root rot due to overwatering. Cut off the affected roots and repot the plant in fresh soil.
Loosing Leaves: If your houseplant is loosing leaves, it could be nothing to worry about and simply a part of the ageing process. As plants make new leaves, they naturally shed the lower leaves that don't get as much light. It doesn't make sense economically for the plant to put all of that energy into a leaf that can't photosynthesise as well as newer ones. Plants love efficiency. The dead leaves go yellow as the plant pulls all the nutrients out of it to recycle for newer leaves. It can be beneficial to leave the dying leaves on the plant until they have gone fully yellow to allow maximum nutrient recycling. If your plant is throwing off more than one or two leaves at a time, then you may need to have a look at your plant care or your plant's environment. One of the biggest causes of premature yellowing of leaves is overwatering or soil that's too dense and stays too wet. It could also be a nutrient deficiency causing the plant to pull the nutrients that it needs from older leaves, causing them to die off. If you don't have a feeding schedule for your plants, it may be worth adding a good quality fertilizer to your plant care routine.
