Watering Aloe Vera Plants is not hard as long as you follow these instructions. Keep the soil moist to slightly dry, and allow soil around roots to dry out before watering to encourage healthy growth. The best way to water an Aloe Vera plant is from the bottom with room temperature water. Do this by placing the pot in a small container of water and allowing the plant to absorb the water for no more than thirty minutes. After removing the container from water, allow excess liquid to drain from the pot for about 10 minutes. Avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can cause spotting damage.
