Use succulent-style soil
A fast-draining mix makes it easier to give aloe a thorough watering and then let the root zone dry again.
Prioritize strong light
Indoor aloe often struggles when placed too far from a bright window. Supplemental light can help in darker rooms.
Water deeply but infrequently
Do not give tiny daily sips. Water when the mix has dried appropriately, then let excess drain.
