    Starting off with aloe, man it’s not looking good for me, it’s a bloodbath out here on my windowsill for those lads

      Aloe vera doesn’t like too much sunlight. You want ambient light / not a lot of direct light. (lots of indirect light is good) Maybe 1-2hrs tops per day of direct light. No expert but that was my finding with aloe.

        No such thing as too much sun here in the nordics. I just murder them with all other ingenious ways

          probably you’re overwatering, which is the sure way to kill aloes.

          Get a pothos instead and it’ll thrive

        My aloe is an outdoor plant here in Australia. Full afternoon sun. I think they acclimatise to certain conditions.

          I agree. They totally adapt. Key is consistency. Once moved my aloe into lots of sun from not and that was the real issue.
