How to fertilize Aloe ciliaris

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil itâs likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aloe ciliaris after it doubles in size or once a yearâwhichever comes first.

Aloe ciliaris thrives in dry soil and should be watered sparingly. Use our water calculator to personalize watering recommendations to your environment or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.
Sunlight Needs
Aloe ciliaris requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive đȘ. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home đĄ.
Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plantâs toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, itâs always best to consult a medical professional.
If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA at US (888) 426-4435.
Humidity
Aloe ciliaris prefers dry environments. Providing extra humidity or misting your plant allows water to linger on leaves, which can create the perfect environment for harmful types of fungi.
Soil
Aloe ciliaris is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesnât retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!
Fertilizer
Aloe ciliaris grows very slowly and doesnât require added fertilizer. Replacing your plantâs potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
Dormancy
Itâs common for Aloe ciliaris to go dormant in the summertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.
Native Region
Aloe ciliaris is native to Southern Africa to India.
Flowers
Aloe ciliaris produces flowers in the wild, but does not flower when kept as houseplants.
