How much water does the Blue Dwarf Aloe need?
Can I grow the Blue Dwarf Aloe indoors?
• Absolutely! It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. If growing indoors, place it near a south or east-facing window.
What happens if my Blue Dwarf Aloe is exposed to extreme heat?
• If your Aloe is exposed to extreme heat (like 125°F), move it to a shaded location and increase watering slightly. Watch for signs of sunburn (brown or scorched spots on the leaves) and adjust its placement accordingly.
Is the Blue Dwarf Aloe pet-friendly?
• While Aloe plants are generally non-toxic to humans, they can be mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
Optimal Temperature Range
• Outdoor: 40°F – 85°F (4°C – 29°C). Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 100°F can stress the plant.
• Indoor: 55°F – 75°F (13°C – 24°C)
Best Practices for Extreme Heat (125ºF):
• Shade: Move the Aloe to a shaded area or provide cover with a shade cloth. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal.
• Watering: Slightly increase watering during extreme heat but ensure the soil drains well. Mist occasionally to help cool the plant.
• Ground vs. Pot: If grown outdoors, mulch around the plant to protect roots. Potted plants should be moved indoors during heat waves.
