Question
How often should you water an aloe plant?

Answer
Dear Lori,

Aloes hold a lot of water and can go months without watering.  In the winter I water when the soil is completely dry.  Then drench so water comes out the bottom of the pot.  Don't let it sit in water.  

Depending on when you last repotted, I repot every 1-2 years in a good cactus friendly medium in the spring.  Depending on how hot it gets and /or dry I may water a bit more put still pretty much stick to the water when completely dry routine.

The most frequent reason we kill succulents is by over watering.

Hope that helps,

Maureen
