Default Aloe vera - too soon to put outside?

If it is well past the last frost date in your area, go ahead and move it
outdoors. If not, don't rush things.

A few warm days does not mean it is already summer. Have the trees leafed
out yet?


The leafing out is just beginning. 3 out of 5 years we'll get a frost to
kill all the blossoms so no peaches, but I would bring them back in if
the temperature dropped into the 30's. (I wasn't sure they would survive
inside - very little sun, but 2 plants became 14 so everyone got an aloe
plant for Christmas.)

Thanks for the advice.

The temperatures are high 60's-70's by day, high 40's-50's by night so I
put my Aloe plants back in the spot they enjoyed last year but they're
looking pale and not real happy. Do they need to be re-introduced to the
great outdoors gradually? (These are the first potted plants I've had in
years.) Any advice is appreciated.
