Growing aloe at home has many benefits: aloe can beautify your living space, purify the air, and also serve as a raw material for beauty care. Aloe has vigorous growth, but there can be some problems during the growing process. If a potted aloe will not grow, give it a "chop," and in no time one pot can become 5 pots.

Actually, this method is beheading the aloe, and the beheading method is also very simple. After choosing the spot where you want to behead it, use an alcohol-sterilized knife to behead the aloe, and the knife must be sharp enough.

Remove the bottom 2 to 4 leaves from the cut-off head. Leave the root left after beheading in the original pot without moving it. Put the cut-off head in a cool, ventilated place to let the wound dry. After the wound heals, plant it in new soil. The next thing we need to do is wait. Remember, do not water as long as the soil is not dry!

Aloe is called "the plant that cannot die of drought." If water accumulates in the soil, it will cause root rot and drown the plant. In summer, it needs watering once every 2 to 3 days, and you should also make sure it gets less exposure to scorching sun to reduce water loss.
