Not as hard as you think! It started off just to see if we could even do it and to learn about each plant. With the state of the world and inflation, I have to say, I’m so glad we did!
I have aloes just sitting on a kitchen counter near a couple of windows facing west. I have other plants there also. They will all go outside as soon as freezing weather is over.
Aloes don't need a lot. Just water occasionally. When an aloe gets really big, it has flowers. You will suddenly see a stalk about three feet tall. The flowers are yellow tubes about an inch long. One of mine has bloomed three or four times over the last 20 years. I don't know which conditions are best for that, but every time, the plant was outside in the bright sun.
I've got aloe at my house. What makes them happiest is sun-adjacent shade, and I've rarely had to water them (just watch out for the tips if they start shriveling up). Hope that helps!
Impressed...I’m trying to keep 3 aloe plants alive! I have some learning to do!
