Aloe Vera barely needs you. It stores water in those thick, spiky leaves, so a missed week (or three) of watering won't faze it — overwatering is the only real way to hurt it. Keep it in bright light, snap off a leaf when you need fresh gel for a sunburn, and otherwise leave it alone.

Care tips

• Water only when the soil is bone dry — every 2-3 weeks, less in winter.
• Needs bright light; a sunny windowsill or balcony is ideal.
