In addition, taking aloe internally can also treat hangovers and motion sickness.
II. How to grow aloe
Watering: the potting soil for aloe should be kept moist. Too much water is unfavorable to aloe's root system, because aloe is drought-tolerant and afraid of waterlogging. When watering is needed, water gently along the edge of the pot but do not flush forcefully, so that the potting soil does not easily become compacted and affect the soil's air permeability. When the potting soil becomes compacted, loosen the soil in good time, to a depth of about 1.5 cm.
Fertilizing: during aloe's growth process, the nutrients in the potting soil alone are not enough, and proper fertilization is needed to meet its growth needs. Organic fertilizer is better (such as peanut bran cake), as it has good fertilizer efficiency and is also clean
and hygienic. Before application, soak it fully in water to ferment, then dilute it with water and water it on. If chemical fertilizer is applied, water it on at a concentration of 0.1%. The number of fertilizer applications should depend on aloe's growth conditions. If the leaves are often needed for use, the number of applications should be greater, about once a month.
