# Hey Y’all! I have a baby aloe, I have put into a styrofoam cup to…

_Posted by Mallarie E on 2026-01-05_

Hey Y’all! I have a baby aloe, I have put into a styrofoam cup to give it a drainage hole. Since I have moved her to a styrofoam cup she has grown and turned Green! But I haven’t water her in 6 days and the soil is super dry and I’m keeping her and my other 2 Aloes in the house for the cold season. I normally water my 2 Adult Aloes about every 20 days. But should I be watering the baby more frequently?

What a little cutie 🥹 If her soil is dry all the way through, I would water her! There could be a few reasons why she’s drying out quicker than your larger ones, but my guess is because she’s in a little pot, which is perfect for her 😍

Oh thank you! I wanted to make sure I gave her the attention she needed, so I moved her away on her own!
