Best Soil Type for Alovera?

[ScottyD]

I've wanted to start growing Alovera for medical use for a while now but live in the UK. I've seen plenty of it when on holiday in Spain and wondered whether the UK soil would be the right type to support it's growth. Does anyone know whether it's possible?

Hey microdrip
You are growing nice but why the soil is so much dried? also why don't you remove those grass weeds around the pot?

[david]

Well I don't take care much on this alovera plant as it is on the roof so climbing everyday would be hard. Grass and weeds have been grown in the mean time anyway I had cleaned them. Here in India they can be grown easily.

Aloevera is a medicine plant and it can be grown easily in any type of soil without problems. If you are using manure and good type of fertilizers, then it wil boom much more in your garden.

Aloe vera is succulent, it needs a lot of water to grow healthy. However, it does not like when water gets clogged into its roots. Therefore, you need a soil with good drainage.

I have grown in normal soil without any problems and even their is no requirement of nutrients, maintenance too. I have grown in pots and land too without any problems. I used to eat this Aloevera long ago in order to keep healthy and avoid stress.
