Can aloe vera be exposed to rain? Can it be placed outdoors in the rain?

Aloe vera is actually a succulent plant. It has a certain degree of drought resistance, but its demand for water will increase during the growing season. At this time, the frequency of watering should be appropriately increased, and it is best to keep the soil slightly moist. This will make the aloe vera grow faster.

However, if it is the rainy season, it is necessary to shelter from rain and drain water in time, and do not let water accumulate in the soil. Water accumulation will cause root rot, and when the temperature is low in winter, its growth rate will slow down. At this time, it is necessary to strictly control water and temperature to avoid frostbite.

Aloe vera in the rain

It is best not to expose aloe vera to rain , because rain can easily cause the roots of aloe vera to rot. Aloe vera is a plant that is relatively drought-tolerant and not resistant to waterlogging. Of course, if your aloe vera has not been watered for a long time and its leaves are shriveled, it doesn't matter if it is exposed to rain. At this time, it will quickly absorb water and store it in its leaves.

However, aloe vera that is watered frequently should not be exposed to rain, as it cannot absorb the water. If the water cannot be discharged from the pot in time, it will be stored in the soil and cause the roots to rot.

If it is accidentally exposed to rain and causes it to rot, you can first observe whether there are small buds growing around it. If so, these small buds can be cultivated well and become new aloe vera plants.

Aloe vera planted in the rain

It is a bit dangerous to let the newly planted aloe vera get exposed to rain, because aloe vera likes to grow in loose soil with good drainage and not easy to compact. If it is soaked in water for a long time, it will rot. Moreover, the newly planted aloe vera has been watered thoroughly once, so it is very bad for it to get exposed to rain at this time.
