Did you know that aloes can also be grown as air plants without the need for soil? This allows you to hang them and free up surface space for other plants. You can use pebbles and a mix of coconut coir, along with a square of burlap or tulle to hold the roots. Hang the aloe plant in a sunny location using twine or string.
Although air-grown aloes require more frequent watering than other air plants, it’s still relatively easy. Soak the wrapped roots in a saucer of water for a few minutes, then let them drain before returning the plant to its hanging spot. Spray the root ball every few days if you prefer to avoid any potential drips.
