South Africa is known for its diverse and favourable climate for growing various species of aloe plants.

Climate: South Africa has a wide range of climates, from arid regions to subtropical areas. Different aloe species thrive in different climates, so it’s essential to choose species that are suitable for your specific region. Generally, aloes prefer warm and sunny conditions.

Soil: Aloes prefer well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Sandy or rocky soils are ideal, as they prevent waterlogging and promote good root health.

Watering: They are adapted to arid conditions and are drought-tolerant once established. They generally prefer infrequent but deep watering. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

Sunlight: Most aloe species require ample sunlight to thrive. They typically prefer full sun exposure but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter regions.

Maintenance: Once established, aloes are generally low-maintenance. Remove any dead or damaged leaves and provide occasional fertiliser during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
