Giant Flowering AloeNative to the Arabian Peninsula, aloe are succulent plants, meaning they have adapted to retain water and survive in drought conditions, so they will have no problem surviving a forgetful waterer! They do best when watered whenever the top few inches of soil have dried out. Just be careful not to water too often the best way to kill a succulent is by overwatering. They love sun, and will thrive in a bright, sunny window or as a summertime patio plant.
