# My work has this aloe plant. I have taken it upon myself to repot it…

_Publié par jellibelli le 2024-04-26_

My work has this aloe plant. I have taken it upon myself to repot it this weekend. I have an indoor potting mix and will some extra perlite in it. Would that be okay for this plant? Does it need a bigger pot?

Look at the roots when you pull it up. That’ll determine if it needs a bigger pot. I’m guessing it won’t, but if you pull it up and see a LOT of roots, then it could use a slightly bigger pot.  
I think the potting mix with perlite will be good for it!

i would guess it needs a smaller pot rather than larger. aloe have a very small root system compared to their leaves. potting soil with perlite works as long as it’s at least 40-50% perlite depending on your watering habits and the light / humidity / temperature on site. lots of grit like perlite and pumice is very important for healthy succulents as it ensures airflow to the roots.

Yep, I completely agree!

It looks like it definitely needs more light

Yes, it does! Please remember to gradually move it to more sun though. Don’t just put it straight outside in full sun or it will burn. A few hours a day in a brighter location than it was in, for a few days. Then keep moving it to brighter for longer until it is eventually in the location you want to move it to all day.😊

I wouldn’t repot - I’d get that baby in the sun!
