Three things I wish someone had told me before growing Aloe Vera

After growing Aloe Vera for over a year here is what I'd tell a beginner.

First: providing at least six hours of bright indirect light is not optional — it's the foundation everything else depends on. Second: root rot from overwatering and poor drainage will happen and you should know how to handle it before it does. Third: a vertical living wall frame genuinely matters — the right position unlocks extremely low maintenance between waterings in a way a poor position never will. new offsets appearing around the base in spring is the payoff for getting all of this right. It's worth every bit of effort.
