The Aloe Vera plant’s ideal temperature range is 55 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. While sure, maybe that’s the case for some cacti, the aloe vera is not such a fan of hot temperatures.įor an aloe plant being grown indoors to thrive, it needs to be grown in ideal temperatures. When most people think of succulents, their mind goes to desert plants that sit out in the hot, beating sun all day. Preventing this in the future by repotting the plant before it becomes root bound will save you from growing droopy plants. Instability of the root system often results from a plants container being too small for the plant. Once your aloe vera can stretch its roots in a bigger pot, its days of looking limp and sad should be behind it. When a plant has outgrown its container, the sides of the container prevent the plants roots from growing any further. Very often the reason an aloe vera plant becomes droopy is due to the container being too small for it. Usually, when you’re repotting your indoor plants, you only want to increase the size by 1 and a half inches but in extreme cases when the plant is overdue to be repotted, moving it into a container between two and four inches larger may be better for it. Measure the diameter of your plant’s current pot or container and then increase the size of the new container by two to four inches. What Size Pot Should You Repot your Plant into?

Water has nowhere to go in compacted soil, nor does air. That brings us to the second issue, which is water sitting on the soil rather than being absorbed into it. Before it gets to that point, the soil tends to pack in on itself, known as compaction. When soil separates, it’s because the condition of the soil is so weak that it’s disintegrating. Some indicators to look out for include separated soil, lack of water absorption, and roots coming out of the drainage holes. You can often eyeball when your aloe vera plant might have outgrown its pot. For many more plant species, the snake plant for example, can stay in the same pot for two to five years. If your plant is a fast growing plant, then every year, you may have to repot it. You wouldn’t make your toddler wear baby clothes, you shouldn’t leave your plant in the same pot it started in. Even still, it’s good to have an estimate of how large your aloe vera will be at maturity, this way you can plan for a pot or container of the appropriate size. The average aloe vera can grow 24 inches tall, which is more common in outdoor aloe vera plants than indoor ones. ![]() ![]() You’ll feel like an aloe vera master in no time, so make sure you keep reading!
