Hi,

does anyone know HOW sensitive Aloe vera is to frost?

All information I find is that is does not endure frost - without
further details.
Will already -1/-2 °C do harm?

Thanks for info!

Hi, Dieter. I have cultivated, nurtured and shared Aloe Vera since I
was 12 yo; 47 years. My first job was in Weslaco TX (semi-tropical) at
a nursery that now markets Aloe worldwide. I came to Dallas TX in '78
bringing Aloe with me. It prefers alkaline to neutral soil with rich
humus. Do not let it chill below 34 F. Provide plenty light through
winter and let soil dry between waterings.
In spring move it outside to shade for the first 3 weeks. Semi-shade is
preferred over all day direct sun during summer, especially since the
solar spectrum has changed consonant with the atmospheric and solar
magnetic changes during the past 6 or so years. If you wish to speed
propagation: When new shoots are 1 yo flush soil from Aloe container
with garden hose, carefully divide plants with sharp knife, repot at
original depth and orientation to soil. Water sparingly.
HTH. Enjoy!
