I just moved to a new office, and my desk was bare. Seeing that everyone else's desk had a small potted plant, I wanted to grow one too, so I went to the mall and bought a small aloe. Why did I choose a small plant like aloe? Because I like it, and also because the elevator outside was being repaired, so the office smelled of paint, and aloe can protect against radiation, can keep my beautiful face from being harmed by computer radiation, and it can also absorb harmful substances in the air. How could that make me give it up and choose anything else?

The main thing is that after placing a small aloe on my desk, I really felt much better. I absolutely refuse to admit it was just a psychological effect. And if aloe is made into medicine, it can also be used for beauty. If you have pimples on your face, you can apply some aloe gel. I have experienced it myself, and it really is very effective.

You can also grow aloe at home. On the one hand, it can make the room more lively and beautify the environment, and most importantly, it can also be used directly. As I said before, if you get pimples on your face, you can apply aloe gel. If you do not want to go to the mall to buy aloe gel, break off a leaf of aloe and apply the cut part to your pimples, and when you get up the next day you will find that your pimples are gone. In summer, if you get a big mosquito bite on your body, you can also apply aloe, because it can relieve swelling and pain. Do you think aloe's uses are really that great?

When I grow aloe, I pay attention to the following points. Because our office has the air conditioning on for a long time, whether in summer or winter, the indoor temperature can stay at around 20°C, and aloe can grow very healthily. In fact, aloe can grow as long as it is in an environment above 10°C. Of course, if it is below this temperature, then its life may end there.

So we need to pay extra attention to aloe in winter. If we cannot let aloe grow indoors, or if the indoor temperature is below 10°C, then we should take other measures to keep it warm. The usual method is to cover it with plastic film, which can maintain its temperature, but plastic film is not breathable, so we should poke a few small holes in the plastic film to let the aloe breathe normally. This method can help aloe get through the winter.

When I normally water it, I need to be careful, because it is not short of water. It can absorb water from the soil by itself, and can also absorb water from the air, which is enough for its own growth, so it is enough for us to water it only occasionally. But during its growing season, it still needs more water, because at that time the demand is relatively large, and the surrounding water is no longer enough for its growth.

Although I put my small aloe on my desk, I also often put it on the balcony to let it get sunlight, so my small aloe grows very well. If fellow flower growers are growing a small aloe and want it to grow very well, you still need to give it more sunlight. If there is enough sunlight, then having one pot after another is no problem at all. Because if there is enough sunlight, its leaves will grow better and better, and it will also produce many small side shoots. When there are many side shoots, we can divide them into two pots to grow, and so on. Is that really one pot after another?
