How To Not Kill Your Aloe Vera

Even though an Aloe Vera plant is deemed 'unkillable', there is still a possibility of death... Overwatering is far too easy and it's a very common way of drowning your green pal.

Aloe Vera like to be watered once their soil is completely dry. The best way to check this is to use the finger dip test. Pop your finger into the soil near the stem and push down to your knuckle. If the soil feels dry and your finger comes out looking clean, like in the video, then it's time for your plant to have a drink.
