How often should I water my Aloe plants?

My aloe plants are struggling. I have other plants and they do fine. I was told maybe I was watering them to much. Can I get a little green thumb guidance? Thanks for your help!

Reply:Make sure it is getting plenty of sunlight. During winter, it goes into a dormant-like state and requires little water. Only water it when the soil gets completely dry, and only give it a cup or two of water. Make sure it's in fast draining soil as well. During the summer, again wait until the soil gets dry, but water it more often than the winter.
Reply:once a month.
Reply:Aloe is a succulant plant...so it is in the cactus family. You only need to water every other week...if that. It is best to let the soil go dry before you water.



Good luck....its a realy hardy plant
Reply:Like cactus, once a month
Reply:stop watering the aloe! they are succulents, and need hardly any water. i water mine in the summer and that's it.
Reply:I let the soil go bone dry before watering it. And my aloe grows like crazy.



Usually every other week in the summer, once a month in the winter.



More importantly, it needs alot of sun. So if it is droopy, and you know you watered it, you might need to get it closer to the light.
Reply:make sure that your aloe plants are planted in miracle gro dirt, and you will only need to water them at the very MOST once a week. in general, wait for the soil to get completely dry before you consider watering them again.
Reply:Long, long ago I killed all my aloe plants not because I overwatered them, but because I had a saucer catching the water drainage which in turn led to the roots rotting away.



Now I only water them when the aloe plant is just beginning to feel a little soft when I squeeze the thickest part of the leaf. I sit them in the sink and water thoroughly then let them drain before placing in their sunny resting place again.



Aloe's are forgiving plants but would rather go without water then having too much. Err on the dry side instead of the wet side.
Reply:Like all cactus , water when it rains in the desert or as a rule of thumb just once a month.
Reply:Aloe vera (known originally as century plants) need to be watered in such a way that simulates their natural environment.



Which is: They must be in the sunlight and sit on sandy soil, for drainage. They must recieve plenty of water but only on rare occasions. A good starting point is to flood them about every two weeks. Then if they grow stay with that pattern. If they don't grow, check for dryness and water more often. If they are still wet, and they have not grown, go for every three weeks.



But do not water very often, It doesnt rain very often in the desert.
Reply:In the winter time I only water it once a month. In the summer maybe once a week.
Reply:Be sure they get proper drainage - weekly.
Reply:yes they are right u must be overwatering it. aloe is from desert area so less frequent watering. and ofcourse see that water is drained
