in the spring/early summer. After you are sure that there is no chance of any frost. Aloe plants are 95% water so make sure you water it alot. Good luck!

Depending on where in the world you are, then for a first time exposure, the plants can be placed out in their pots when the risk of frost has gone.
After a few months, transfer your aloes to a sheltered, but bright part of the plot, in a very well drained soil. Use plenty of grit in your soil mix, and set the pH at about neutral. Feed occasionally with a proprietary garden pellet.
Should there be a threat of frost later in the year, then cover them with garden muslin.
The main pests of aloes are ants and aphids, which get into the rosette of the leaves. Place ant powder, or a gel in a circle around the plant.

As most people have answered - when there is no risk of frost. They won't survive a UK frosty winter without protection.
Always give plants a gradual adjustment when changing their living environment. It's called 'hardening off'.
This prevents shock to plants, even without frosts being around. You can do this by giving short periods of time outdoors, say 2 or 3 hours each day, for the 1st week or so. Then gradually increasing this over time. This is often particularly useful if a plant is just being placed into direct scorching sun.
It's relevant for everything from annual 'bedding' plants, coming from greenhouses, to perennials from more tropical areas, such as Aloe Vera. I'll be giving mine some exposure over the next few days (I'd normally start in May)… but I'll watch out for harsh climate variation, such as winds and temperature adjustment, and changeable weather too. It would be a pity to damage such beautiful plants!
Good luck! Rob

I have read that the miracle berry are an interesting berry to try with smoothies. The berry has the power to change sour foods to sweet and its pure fruit. I grow plants website: Miracle Berries . With the miracle berries no sweetners/sugar is needed in the smoothie.
