I just bought a small aloe vera plant and plan to put it out in the garden for the summer months, then bring it back in before it gets too cool. Anyone else have experience with this? When do you put out and take back in? This is currently in a 4" pot which I will likely transplant to a 6" pot, then place that inside a larger tallish terra cotta pot that is partially sunk in the cosmetic section of my herb garden. I thought that would kind of showcase it and remind me to pay closer attention to it. Also what kind of soil would you use? I've previously had aloe veras outside that end up rotting because of too much water. I thought maybe a cactus mix with extra pebbles or vermiculite so it drains pretty freely (?)
