Indoor Care

Light

  • Place Aloe peglerae in a bright location with indirect sunlight or filtered light for most of the day. A south- or east-facing window works well.
  • Avoid prolonged direct sunlight through glass, as this can scorch the leaves.

Temperature

  • Thrives in temperatures between 18–25°C (65–77°F).
  • Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

Watering

  • Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
  • Use the soak and dry method: Water thoroughly, then wait until the soil is bone-dry before watering again.
  • Reduce watering frequency in the winter months when growth slows.

Soil

  • Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.
  • Ensure the pot has proper drainage holes.

Fertilization

  • Feed sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks.
  • Avoid fertilizing in the winter months.

Humidity

  • Prefers low to moderate humidity. Avoid placing near humidifiers or in overly damp areas.

Repotting

  • Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a pot only slightly larger than the current one to maintain root health.

Common Issues

  • Overwatering: Leads to root rot. Ensure proper drainage and avoid waterlogged soil.
  • Pests: Watch for mealybugs or spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticide or neem oil.

Aloe peglerae is not just a striking ornamental plant but also a symbol of resilience and adaptability. With proper care, it can thrive indoors for many years, rewarding you with its unique beauty and charm.
