Lace Aloe Watering Schedule

Lace Aloe Watering Schedule

Watering Frequency

Lace Aloe (Aloe aristata) is a drought-tolerant succulent that requires minimal watering. Follow this schedule for optimal care:

Spring and Fall: Water every 2-3 weeks
Summer: Water every 1-2 weeks
Winter: Water every 3-4 weeks

Always check the soil moisture before watering. Only water when the soil is completely dry.

Watering Tips

Use well-draining soil to prevent water retention.
Water deeply but infrequently to encourage strong root growth.
Reduce watering frequency during dormant winter months.
Avoid getting water on the leaves to prevent rot.
Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.

Signs of Overwatering

Soft, mushy leaves
Yellowing or translucent leaves
Leaf drop
Mold on the soil surface

If you notice these signs, reduce watering frequency and ensure proper drainage.

Signs of Underwatering

Wrinkled or puckered leaves
Dry, crispy leaf tips
Slow growth

If you notice these signs, increase watering frequency slightly, but remember that it's better to underwater than overwater succulents.
