Can aloe vera be repotted in summer?

Aloe vera can be repotted in the summer, but be careful not to loosen the original soil because the temperature is high in this season. If the original soil is loosened, it will inevitably damage the root system. It is easy to be infected by bacteria under high temperature conditions, which is not conducive to acclimatization and will also affect growth after transplanting.

Therefore, it is recommended to repot it in spring, when the temperature and humidity are very suitable, and the plant grows vigorously. After repotting, the plant can adapt to the new environment more quickly and resume growth.
