Will a tiger aloe variegata do well with no sunlight?

I only have northern facing windows and the blinds are rarely open. Its also winter in WI so there's even less chance of light. What kind of soil and food is best for them? I only have two baby plants with 3-4 leaves each.

    I have an aloe, not the same variety as yours, though, and we generally keep it in a south window. We did have it in a north window one winter, and it did not die, but it did not thrive, either. The room was a ground floor room, with a big side yard that was covered with snow most of the winter, so it got a lot of reflected sunlight from the snow which is probably the only thing that kept it alive. By the way, I live in Southwest Michigan.

    I am sorry but aloe is a succulent and they need several hours sunlight every day
