How to care for Aloe Vera?

-

 As the title suggests, in this post I'll be giving you a few tips and tricks on how we can take care of our Aloe plants and help them grow into beautiful succulents in the future.


A lot of us already have a basic idea of the various healing and soothing properties of aloe vera. Hence, I'll not be going into that in this post, but do let me know if you'd like me to blog about the properties of aloe vera in the future.



I had previously written a blog regarding the extraction of aloe gel from the plant in my post. If you haven't checked it out yet, I'll link it down below. Hope you'll enjoy reading it.

Anyways, let's get back to caring for our Aloe plants!


 I'll be sharing my top 5 tips which keep my succulents looking healthy and vibrant!


  • Firstly, make sure that the pot in which you are planting your aloe vera plant contains a drainage hole because proper water drainage is the key to growing this plant successfully.

  • Secondly, do not over water this plant, as aloe vera does not do well in soggy soil, and keeping the soil overly moist may kill your plant.

  • Since aloe needs good soil to thrive, I suggest opting for cactus soil over regular potting soil. (do let me know if you need the proportion to prepare a good cactus soil if it isn't available for you at the moment)

  • Water aloe plants only when the soil is dry to touch.

  • Lastly, aloe vera needs plenty of sunlight to grow optimally. If you're growing aloe vera indoors, do try and place it near a sunlight source so that it gets a few hours of sunlight each day.



Growth season: The active growing season of aloe vera is during Spring and Summer and the plant's dormant period is during the Fall and Winter.



I hope you liked the tips on how to grow Aloe Vera. I also wish you have an amazing journey growing your own aloe.



If at all you have any questions regarding the above points do let me know in the comment section down below. I'll try my best to answer your questions.



Have a great day ahead!!!
