How to know if aloe vera is lacking water

1. Water shortage

1. Shriveled leaves: If this type of plant lacks water, the leaves of the plant will become thinner. If the leaves have become shriveled, it means that the plant is very short of water. It is very easy to identify at this time, so once you find this phenomenon in the plant, water the plant as soon as possible.

2. Dry soil: This type of plant needs water during its growth period. If the soil becomes dry, it proves that the plant needs to be watered so that the roots of the plant can absorb water from the soil for plant growth. At this time, water can be given once every four days.

3. Yellowing leaves: When growing this type of plant, if you find that the leaves turn yellow and fall off, it also indicates that the plant is particularly lacking in water. Do not place it in a place with strong sunlight to prevent too strong sunlight from accelerating the loss of water in the soil in the pot, which will also have a bad effect on the growth of the plant itself.

4. Wilting leaves: The drooping leaves of the plant are also a sign of water shortage. At this time, the plant will appear very lifeless. If you touch the leaves with your hands, you will find that the leaves are shriveled and there is very little water inside. Even if the plants are watered promptly, it will take a long time for these plants to return to good condition.

2. Precautions

During the growth process of the plant, you must maintain it carefully and cautiously. Do not wait until you find that the plant is very short of water before replenishing it with water. Otherwise, it will take some time for the plant to return to a good condition.
