Can aloe vera be grown outdoors?
Sharing common knowledge about growing flowers, can aloe vera be grown outdoors? Let's share the detailed content next.
Aloe vera is very common, and many flower friends think that aloe vera can only be grown indoors. So, can aloe vera be grown outdoors? Whether it is grown outdoors mainly depends on our expectations for aloe vera. Aloe vera prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight, but if it is intense sunlight in summer, aloe vera can still be sunburned and look a bit unwell.
I have seen some aloe veras grown outdoors by flower friends, which are generally very strong but not very well-shaped, with the leaves being much darker and clearly on the thin side. In contrast, aloe veras grown indoors or in environments with less sunlight are greener and have a plump appearance.
Therefore, aloe vera can be grown outdoors, but it is best to have a place with some shade, such as a place with sunlight in the morning and evening and shade at noon, like under a tree. If it is simply grown outdoors without any shade, it will not die, but its shape will not be very good.
If you want the aloe vera to have a good shape, color, and be fat, it should be cared for in a semi-sunlit place. Purely indoor care is also not suitable because aloe vera loves light, can tolerate semi-shade, and dislikes direct sunlight and excessive shade.
Let's briefly talk about the daily care of aloe vera.
Because aloe vera is very tough, many flower friends do not take it seriously. However, such a care mindset is wrong. This is why many flower friends' aloe veras look good when they are first bought, but after a year and a half, they feel like throwing them away. Although aloe vera is drought-resistant and will not die without water for half a year, the result is that the bottom leaves wither, leaving only the top leaves. However, aloe vera is also not tolerant to moisture and prone to root rot. Therefore, we need to pay attention to watering. Water thoroughly when the potting soil feels dry, and do not water when it is not dry.
The above information provides you with a comprehensive explanation of whether aloe vera can be grown outdoors, hoping it can help you.
