Help With My Aloe Vera?

I bought an aloe vera plant last fall. The lady who sold it to me said it would fill up its pot by spring and need separating… she was right! There are so many shoots. I’m excited that I’ve managed to keep it alive and help it thrive through the winter. I keep it in my kitchen window. It is partially shaded there and I think a good place.

I will have to split off all those shoots very soon. My question is… where do I put the other pots? Inside? (I have no other windowsills or locations as ideal as the kitchen windowsill.) Outside? In partial shade/sun? What if it is too sunny? What if it is too cold or too hot? What does aloe vera need? If any of you could advise me, I’d be very grateful.

    Hey Wardeh, I will leave a longer comment later on, my time is VERY limited right now, but you could always split the aloe and give some to friends and neighbors. That is what I do when my aloe has outgrown it’s pot.

    Love ya!

    Aloe can be grown outdoors. You should treat it like you do your
    annual plants you do grow it outdoors and protect it from cool
    weather. Make sure you have it in a pot that has holes in the
    bottom and that you have either rocks, pottery shards in the
    bottom of the pot for good drainage.
    Aloe prefers full sun, but will tolerate a light shade.
    Water the plants thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry out
    between waterings. I fertilize once a month when I fertilize my
    other house plants.

    I normally use a fertilizer for non-flowering houseplants.
