Clivia and snake plant: wipe them with this kind of "body fluid" every 3 days, and the leaves will turn so green they drip with oil

When growing plants at home, people generally choose foliage plants to cultivate, such as clivia and snake plant (Sansevieria), which are very commonly grown at home. Clivia has a very noble air, its leaves are upright, very simple and beautiful, and around the Spring Festival every year, clivia will also bloom with bright flowers, carrying a very good meaning, adding a lot of vitality to the home.

As a foliage plant, the snake plant is famous for its tall leaves, and its leaves are covered with very peculiar markings that draw the eye no matter how you look at them, so its ornamental value is very high. What's more, the snake plant also has the ability to purify the air and absorb formaldehyde, so keeping one pot at home brings many benefits. In daily life, when growing snake plants and clivia, everyone will find that the longer they are grown, the duller the gloss of these plants' leaves becomes, and they are no longer so oily green. So at this point, how should we handle it?

So today I will introduce a method to make the leaves of clivia and snake plant even greener. You only need to wipe clivia and snake plant with this kind of "body fluid" every 3 days, and it can make their leaves so green they drip with oil!

This "body fluid" does not refer to liquid from the human body, but to the sap from certain plants. This plant is aloe vera. Aloe vera sap has a great many antioxidant effects. In ordinary times, aloe vera juice can also be used as a medicine for beauty and skincare; used on the skin for a long time, it can make human skin firmer and more elastic. Likewise, this effect of aloe vera sap can also be used on clivia and snake plant, making the leaves of clivia and snake plant metabolize faster, become fuller and more oily green!

How to use aloe vera juice

First, we need to choose a healthy aloe vera stem, then put the aloe vera stem into a juicer to extract the juice. After extracting it, we mix and dilute this aloe vera juice with clean water at a ratio of 1:20. Only the diluted aloe vera juice can be used to wipe the leaves of clivia and snake plant, once every 3 days. During the wiping process, be sure to apply the aloe vera juice evenly and not leave any residue on the leaves.

After all, everyone should have aloe vera growing at home. If not, then next I will introduce the growing method for aloe vera, so that everyone can easily grow a pot of aloe vera at home.

How to grow aloe vera

Aloe vera is a succulent plant, and its roots are entirely fleshy, so you must ensure the soil is loose, breathable and drains very well. If you want aloe vera to grow more vigorously and have more stems, we need to fertilize the aloe vera. Aloe vera most needs fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so we can use the simplest fertilizer, which is worm castings. Worm castings themselves contain large amounts of elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so we do not need to use multiple fertilizers to grow aloe vera; just using worm castings is enough. When watering, follow the watering principle of watering when dry and stopping when wet, and the aloe vera will grow very well; just do not let water accumulate.

So if you usually like growing snake plants and clivia, then you can first grow a pot of aloe vera, and use its aloe vera to grow clivia and snake plant. The effect is very good, and it can make their leaves so green they drip with oil!
