How to Care for Aloe Juvenna

Light

Prefers bright light with several hours of indirect sun. Indoors, a south or west facing window works best. Insufficient light can cause stretching.

Water

Water thoroughly, then allow soil to dry completely before watering again. Reduce watering in winter.

Soil

Use a well draining cactus or succulent mix. Drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Temperature

Thrives between 60 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Protect from frost.

Fertilizer

Feed lightly during spring and summer with diluted succulent fertilizer. Avoid over fertilizing.

Blooming

Mature plants may send up slender spikes with orange to coral tubular flowers.

Pet Safe?

May cause mild to moderate symptoms if ingested, such as vomiting or stomach upset. We recommend keeping out of reach of pets.

Humidity

Prefers dry air. Standard indoor humidity is fine.

Propagation

Produces offsets at the base. These can be gently separated and replanted once established.

Troubleshooting

Plant stretching or leaning
Usually not enough light. Move to a brighter location.

Leaves turning brown and mushy at the base
Overwatering or poor drainage.

Wrinkled leaves
