Care tips for aloe vera in the bath

To ensure that your plant feels comfortable in the bathroom, in addition to the general care tips, you should also take into account the changed conditions in the bathroom mentioned above and adapt the care of the plant accordingly.

Pouring aloe vera in the bathroom

You should water your aloe very sparingly. It will not harm the plant in the slightest if it is left in a completely dry substrate for a few days. The plant will also benefit from the increased humidity, which will cause it to dry out even more slowly. However, if you water too much, waterlogging will quickly form, leading to root rot. It is therefore better to water too little than too much! When watering an aloe vera plant, you should also take care not to water the leaves, but the substrate directly. The water cannot drain away in the middle of the plant, which can lead to the aloe starting to rot. If water does collect in the middle of the plant, you can simply soak it up with a kitchen towel.

Summary Watering aloe vera correctly in the bathroom:

• It is better to water less than too much to avoid waterlogging
• A few days of drought will not harm the plant in the slightest
• Do not water on the leaves, but directly into the soil
• Avoid stagnant water in the center of the plant

Fertilizing aloe vera in the bathroom

You can fertilize the aloe vera with cactus fertilizer. The plant is quite undemanding and requires a small amount of fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Liquid fertilizer is best, as it is easiest to add to the water and is applied directly to the roots of the plant. In the winter months, when there is less light available for the plant, you do not need to fertilize the aloe vera. You can buy succulent fertilizer really cheaply on Amazon.
