How to grow aloe vera

1. Choose a pot

The flowerpot used when growing aloe vera should not be too large. As long as the roots of the aloe vera can be placed in the flowerpot, it will be fine. If the flowerpot is too large, it will be inconvenient to control water. It is best to choose a clay pot with good air permeability.

2. Soil

For the soil used for growing aloe vera, it is recommended to use a mixture of leaf mold and river sand or peat and perlite.

3. Fertilizer

Aloe vera does not require very high levels of fertilizer, but the fertilizer must contain enough humus.

4. Lighting

The newly potted aloe vera needs to be placed in a cool place for about half a month, while other aloe vera needs full sun to meet its needs for light.

5. Watering

When watering, keep the soil slightly moist, but slightly dry; it is better to be dry than wet.
