II. How to grow aloe vera

Watering: the soil in the aloe vera pot should be kept moist. Too much water is bad for the aloe vera root system, because aloe vera 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 the growth process of aloe vera, the nutrients in the potting soil alone are not enough, and appropriate fertilizing is needed to meet its growth needs. Organic fertilizer is better (such as peanut bran cake), as it has good fertilizer efficiency and is clean

and hygienic. Before application, soak it fully in water to ferment, then dilute it with water and pour it on. If chemical fertilizer is used, apply it at a concentration of 0.1%. The number of fertilizing applications depends on the growth conditions of the aloe vera. If the leaves are frequently needed for use, apply more often, about once a month.
