Growth habits of aloe

Soil: Aloe grows in soil with good air permeability and good water permeability. This kind of soil has a high organic content, with a pH value of 6.5-7.2.

Light: Aloe likes light and tolerates semi-shade environments. It avoids direct sunlight and excessive shading.

Temperature: The suitable growing environment temperature is 20 - 30 °C, and the best nighttime temperature is 14 - 17 °C. Below 10 °C it basically stops growing, and below 0 °C the aloe leaf flesh freezes and all wilts and dies.

Water: Aloe has a relatively strong drought resistance. Aloe removed from the soil can be left dry for several months without dying. During the growth period, aloe needs sufficient water, but it does not tolerate waterlogging.

Ecological environment: The ecological environment for aloe must not be polluted, and attention should be paid to ventilation.

Aloe not only needs nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also some trace elements. To ensure that aloe is a green and natural plant, try to use fermented organic fertilizers, cake fertilizer, chicken manure and compost. Vermicompost is more suitable for growing aloe.

The flower language of aloe

The flower language of aloe is self-respecting yet self-abasing love. The flower divination is: you are always carrying a very big burden, filled with emotional troubles, which damages your spirit, making you depressed and lifeless. In fact, you are a very strong person, brave enough to bear challenges and pressure. As long as you have firm willpower, you can certainly break through psychological obstacles and regain your former glory.
