Fence aloe is a drought-tolerant, arid-adapted plant that stores water in its succulent leaves. It typically requires watering about once a week. As an evergreen plant, it retains its foliage throughout the year. Fence aloe can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but it thrives best in warm climate zones.

Native to arid regions, Fence aloe thrives in full sun; its natural environment is defined by strong sunlight and minimal shade. It also tolerates partial sun, allowing some flexibility in its growth.

Fence aloe does best in warm conditions and needs higher temperatures during the growing season to encourage growth and metabolic activity. It prefers plenty of sunlight, proper moisture, and good air circulation. It can be damaged by very low temperatures and by excessive watering. It's also important to maintain balance and avoid temperatures that are too high or conditions that are too dry.

Fence aloe only needs light doses of fertilizer once or twice a year during the growing season. Do not fertilize in winter or in summer when the plant is dormant. Cut back on feeding for plants that have been repotted, and wait a couple of months after repotting before you fertilize. Fertilizing helps maintain healthy growth and promotes blooming.

Pruning fence aloe in early spring encourages healthy growth and an attractive shape. To improve air circulation, trim away dead stems and thin out crowded areas. Regular pruning boosts the health of the foliage and prevents legginess, making the plant a vibrant and appealing addition to your garden.
