Water every 2-3 weeks, adjusting frequency according to climate and plant growth. Aloe vera thrives in well-drained soil and cannot tolerate excessive moisture. Make sure the soil is completely dry between waterings to prevent root rot. You may need more water in the warmer months when plants are dormant and less in the winter months. Make sure your pot always has good drainage to prevent water pooling at the roots, which can cause problems such as root rot.
