Use terracotta pots (or similar material) as they dry faster, while plastic and glazed pots retain more water. Also, when mitre aloe is full-grown, it gets really heavy and needs a strong base to prevent it from flipping over.
Planting material includes seeds, and, more commonly, offspring of the mother plant. Take a terracotta pot with plenty of drainage holes and fill the bottom with 2.5 to 5 cm of gravel to ensure good drainage. Add succulent or cacti soil mix, or combine straight potting soil with sand, perlite, pumice, or similar material. If a combination of potting soil and sand or perlite is used, water the plants less frequently, because this combination is heavier and retains more water compared to soil mixes for succulents.
Insert the plant into the pot and cover its roots with the potting substrate of choice, making sure that leaves do not touch the soil surface to avoid them rot. The plant shouldn’t be watered a couple of days after planting, as it needs a few days to repair any damage the roots may have suffered during planting. Mitre aloe is best planted during spring and summer. It needs at least a month to prepare for cooler days, so planting during fall or winter is not favorable.
