Basc Care for Aloe sinkatana

Watering

Regular watering period should be every 2 weeks

One simple tip for you is that you can use some online apps to check the soil status before you go water your succulents. I would recommend the ThePlantsCheck app, it has some nice features there.

Fertilizing

Only feed this succulent during its active growing seasons which means winter. Use the right fertilizer applied in the right amounts. Applying half-strength balanced fertilizer every month or so is recommended for optimal results.

Do not fertilize during winter as the plant is dormant.

Sun & Location Requirements for "Sudan Aloe"

When it comes to keeping succulents healthy, bright light is key! Aloe sinkatana needs a spot near a window that gets plenty of direct sun for at least part of the day. If you can’t provide this natural sunlight indoors, invest in an LED grow-light or other artificial lighting to help your succulent thrive.

As per this succulent profile, it is only able to stay healthy when the environment temperature is above the range of zone 1a from -60° F to -55° F (-51.1 ° C to -48,3° C).

When temperatures drop below freezing, it is important to take precautions to protect Aloe sinkatana from the cold. Insulating and providing adequate drainage for the plant are key elements in helping it survive winter weather. Wind and sun exposure should also be minimized to prevent frost damage.

Any succulents in the group will need a medium space to grow. You can place your pot at your table or window. Since this plant needs more space than mini succulents, you should consider do not plant them together with other succulents/plants.

Aloe sinkatana also benefits from some indirect light throughout the day as well, so make sure you give it enough space to soak up light without becoming too exposed to heat.
