Questions About Aloe Vera Plants

    The aloe vera are very drought tolerant so they do well on not much water. They do not tolerate frosts and also alot of water will kill them quickly. When grown in a container I let the plants get dry and test the soils with a moisture meter. When I do water them I drench the soils and let the water drain well out the bottom of the containers being sure not to let any water stand in the saucer at the bottom. I would think that your rainwater collection system would easily support your field due to their limited need for water. You will likely need to experiment a bit at first but in this case I would start with a light amount of watering and increase the water allowance in very very small quantities. Hope this helps you.

    Aloe vera is hardy to 20 degrees F. If it gets colder than that where you live, it will need to be brought in during the winter.

    Aloe generally spreads rather quickly when taken well care of. Separate a small leaf or two with its roots and plant in soil., water. Does really well in bathroom or kitchen window. Good luck

    This could indicate that it is having some watering issues. Being outside, it may be getting more water from rain than it is used to when it was indoors. You may want to find a more rain sheltered location for it.

    Just trim away the dead areas. Cutting into the live parts of the leaves will only open up the plant to the possibility of disease.
