A good quality soil is required for the plant. Adding rocks, small pebbles in the soil leads to fast draining process.

After, you can select aloe vera plant from nursery or you can also use offsets that are small growths beneath the adult aloe vera plant. Take at least 2” of offset and slice it at the bottom and plant it properly into the soil. After that soak the aloe vera plant with water and let the soil to dry completely before watering again.
