    Aloe vera doesn’t like too much sunlight. You want ambient light / not a lot of direct light. (lots of indirect light is good) Maybe 1-2hrs tops per day of direct light. No expert but that was my finding with aloe.

      No such thing as too much sun here in the nordics. I just murder them with all other ingenious ways

        probably you’re overwatering, which is the sure way to kill aloes.

        Get a pothos instead and it’ll thrive

      My aloe is an outdoor plant here in Australia. Full afternoon sun. I think they acclimatise to certain conditions.

        I agree. They totally adapt. Key is consistency. Once moved my aloe into lots of sun from not and that was the real issue.
