How to grow aloe vera

1. Lighting

Aloe vera is a light-loving plant. The light in spring and autumn is very beneficial to its growth, so it should be exposed to more sunlight. In summer, the sunlight is too strong, especially at noon, so you must take shade measures in time and avoid excessive exposure to the sun. In winter, move it to a sunny spot where it can receive sunlight throughout the day.

2. Soil

To grow aloe vera, you need sandy soil with good drainage and high nutrient content. You can mix leaf mold, perlite, peat soil and fine sand in a ratio of 3:1:4:2.

3. Watering

Aloe vera itself is a plant with a very high water content, so you don’t need to water it too often. Just wait until the soil is completely dry before watering it. In addition, pay attention to the summer when the temperature is too high and the transpiration is too strong, so you need to water the plants appropriately to replenish moisture.

4. Temperature

Aloe vera is afraid of cold, so it is best to provide it with a growing environment of 15 to 35 degrees. The temperature in winter should also be kept above 5 degrees, otherwise it will be difficult for it to grow.
