Wow, I don't grow aloe. I'm stumped. :P

[vandaman]

you should, i would suggest them to anyone clumsy like me. and theyre alwaysa talk piece when theyre big..

I'd post to succulents to ask. There's a guy there who specializes in Aloes.

Oh, and while Aloes want well-drained soil, they respond to water and fertilizer like anything else. Also, someone told me (but I haven't double-checked why) to avoid perlite in your planting mix if you are planting Aloes.

So I would say-
full sun
enough dirt to support the growth
regular water (but let soil dry between)
occasional dilute fertilizer
