water info |
Aloes thrive on neglect, making them one of the easiest garden plants for California. They are drought-tolerant, though this one will need additional water in the dry months every couple weeks. It also responds well to regular water, if the soil or pot is well drained. Most aloes will be plump with many bright vibrant blue or green leaves during their growth season. It’s natural for these same plants to show stress during their dry season, often turning shades of red, orange or brown, giving added seasonal interest to the succulent garden. During this time the leaves will curl in on themselves, and often shrivel up and shed from the base. If you prefer a lush look, watering once dry will keep them plump. |
