How to fertilize Aloe ampefyana

Aloe ampefyana Plant Care: Water, Light, Nutrients | Greg App 🌱 (10)

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aloe ampefyana after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

    My aloe is sick. What do I do😭😭😭 She had black spots and I keep chopping off her leaves. What’s wrong with her.

  • Aloe ampefyana Plant Care: Water, Light, Nutrients | Greg App 🌱 (16)

    What happened to my aloe?!?! It was THRIVING. Two days later the inside is dark red and mushy (aloe equivalent of root rot?) and in pruning his poor leaves they were VERY wet. But, WHY? Did nothing new or different. Repotted it recently but it seemed happy the first few days and now this 😭

  • Aloe ampefyana Plant Care: Water, Light, Nutrients | Greg App 🌱 (17)

    Help my poor aloe! I have to laugh because this must the one of the easiest plants to care for. The people who neglect their aloes seem to have to most big beautiful aloe plants! But I have been struggling with this one for the past year. I believe I over watered it for a while. I’ve stopped over watering it. The soil is dry. I watered it about two weeks ago. But now it’s looking sun burnt and thirsty. Should I water it? Move it? It’s in a porch with all windows and gets more sun fall and winter because the sun is lower in the sky and the leaves have all fallen off the trees. #AloeVera #Aloe #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #planthelp #overwatering #theamigos #GregGang

💡 FAQs

💦 Water Needs

Aloe ampefyana thrives in dry soil and should be watered sparingly. Use our water calculator to personalize watering recommendations to your environment or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.

☀️ Sunlight Needs

Aloe ampefyana requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home 🏡.

🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity

Aloe ampefyana is not safe to consume. If you, a family member, or a pet has ingested any amount of plant material contact Poison Control, US (800) 222-1222, or your veterinarian. If you have children, cats, or dogs in the home, we suggest keeping this plant out of reach.

💨 Humidity

Aloe ampefyana enjoys lots of humidity. Provide humidity for your plant by watering regularly and thoroughly, since plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves. They may also benefit from being placed next to a humidifier.

🪴 Soil

Aloe ampefyana is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesn’t retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!

💩 Fertilizer

Aloe ampefyana should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!

❄️ Dormancy

It’s common for Aloe ampefyana to go dormant in the summertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.

🌎 Native Region

Aloe ampefyana is native to Southern Africa to India.

🌦️ Growing Outdoors

USDA Hardiness Zone
Aloe ampefyana can be grown outdoors in USDA Hardiness Zones 9a-11b. Find your local hardiness zone here.

🧐 Troubleshooting

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.

Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.

😖 Common Issues

Overwatering is a likely cause of issues with Aloe ampefyana. These plants are very sensitive to wet soil so if you notice your plant becoming squishy or translucent, overwatering is the likely culprit.

Cut your plant just past where the rot ends and allow it to callus over for a few days before replanting it in fresh, dry soil. Download Greg to make sure your plant never gets overwatered again!
