Aloe Vera Flowering Indoors: Rare Without Intense Sun and Age

Andrew's 1-ft aloe in deep 1×0.5 ft pot, cactus soil/fertilizer, wants flowers.

Why Aloes Rarely Bloom Indoors

• Need intense direct sun (south window minimum).
• Must be very potbound for years.
• If no south window: keep outdoors when >60°F.

Deep pot works against potbound condition. Shallow/wide is better.

Care Summary

• Brightest light possible.
• Water sparingly (succulent).
• Don't repot — crowd it.
• Wait years.

Bloom is a bonus, not expectation, indoors.
