Keep the medium lightly moist and provide bright, indirect light. Germination time varies according to the aloe species, seed freshness, and growing conditions.
Yes, many compact aloe species can grow indoors in containers with drainage holes. Place the pot near a bright window, use a well-drained cactus or succulent mix, and allow the soil to dry appropriately between waterings. Choose a compact species suited to indoor growing and protect the plant from cold temperatures.
Water dwarf aloe when the growing medium has dried sufficiently, then allow excess water to drain freely. Watering frequency depends on temperature, light, pot size, and soil composition. Reduce watering during cooler periods and avoid leaving the roots in constantly wet soil, which can cause root rot.
