How to grow aloe vera to be big and fat?

Aloe vera is an easy-to-care-for plant that is suitable for growing at home. However, to keep aloe vera in a vibrant state, you need to follow some basic care principles. Let’s learn together how to grow aloe vera so that it grows big and plump.

1. Soil configuration

Aloe vera does not have high requirements for soil, but when planted indoors, it is recommended to use granular soil or river sand mixed with garden soil to ensure the air permeability and drainage of the soil to avoid water accumulation and root rot.

2. Lighting requirements

Aloe vera is a light-loving plant and requires plenty of sunlight. Even in summer, it should be placed in a place with sufficient light. Insufficient light can cause leaves to become spindly, thin, and lighter in color.

3. Water management

Aloe vera needs a moderate amount of water, but avoid stagnant water. Under conditions of sufficient light, ensure adequate water supply to prevent the leaves from becoming thin or red due to lack of water. The principle of watering is "water thoroughly when dry", that is, wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering thoroughly.

4. Reasonable fertilization

Aloe vera does not require much fertilizer . Applying multi-element fertilizer or high-nitrogen fertilizer once a month or every two months, such as Huaduoduo No. 10, can meet its growth needs.

In summary, the key to caring for aloe vera is to maintain the air permeability and water permeability of the soil, ensure sufficient light, and water and fertilize reasonably.
