🌵✨ Aloe Vera – Ø19cm ↕70cm | The green first aid kit – Easy maintenance
Aloe Vera is that cool woman who has a solution for everything: sunshine? Fine. Watering? Fine too. Meanwhile, she looks sharp—architectural greenery with a no-nonsense attitude. (Pro tip: great for looks, not for smoothies.)
✨ Appearance:
Fleshy, blue-green leaves in a tight rosette with subtle spots and small serrations along the edges. In this generous size (Ø19 cm, approx. 70 cm tall), it's a real eye-catcher—minimalist, bold, and photo-ready. In peak form, it can even produce a flower stem with orange/yellow disc flowers (no guarantees, but applause is guaranteed).
☀️ Location:
Lots of light to full sun. South- or west-facing windowsill? Perfect for her. When moving her to a sunnier spot, give her some time to adjust (a week further away from the window) to prevent sunburn. A dark corner means wilted leaves and sluggish growth. Turning her occasionally will keep her beautifully symmetrical.
💧 Water requirements:
Water sparingly. Let the root ball dry out completely, then give it a good drink—then pour away any excess water from the decorative pot/saucer. Be even more frugal in winter (she loves a "dry January" in any month). Wrinkled, limp leaves? Thirsty. Spongy or translucent leaves? Too wet.
✨ Details:
Prefers cactus/succulent soil with extra perlite or pumice (airy and fast-draining). A pot with a drainage hole is not a luxury, but a necessity—wet feet are a disaster. Feed sparingly: once a month in spring/summer with diluted cactus food. It tolerates dry room air easily; an ideal windowsill resident. Sometimes produces "pups" (baby plants) at the base—a free addition to the family. Slightly toxic to pets if nibbled: better to watch than chew. Repot every 2–3 years or if the rosette starts to flex against the pot rim.
🚚 Shipping:
Puncture-proof and securely fastened, leaves protected from breaking. Arrives perfectly straight and ready to shine—without sand between your toes.
