You Can Grow Your Own Aloe Vera Plant

You don’t t have to buy the processed form of aloe vera. What are you doing this weekend? Invest your time in gardening. You can grow your own aloe vera plant, here is how.

First of all, when you go to buy an aloe vera plant, surely, that large plant could use some care, but the potency of the aloe within that plant versus the more perfect-looking smaller Aloe vera plants is incomparable.

Aside from that, a more mature (bigger) plant is more likely to survive in your home since they have been around a while. Aloe vera plants grow very slowly indoors, so for an indoor plant, get a bigger one. If you want an outdoor plant then you can buy a small one.

If you want to be able to use the aloe in the plant right away, again, go with a large plant. Small aloe vera plants do have the aloe gel, but it’s more watery than in the mature plant. So, if you want an aloe vera plant for immediate medicinal use, then get a large one.

The bigger, the better, Plus, it will produce little shoots that you can replant and keep on growing for more plants.

If you over water your aloe Vera plant or put it right in the window, the plant will rebel against you. Aloe vera plants do not like direct sunlight, nor do they enjoy too much water.

Let the dirt get almost parched before watering the aloe vera plant again, and have a hole in the bottom of the pot so the water can drain. If you over water the aloe vera plant or give it direct sunlight, it will turn brown and begin to curl up on itself.

Not enough water or not enough sunlight, it will start to droop, and look ‘sad’. You know when to water your aloe vera when you can barely feel any moisture in the dirt with your finger submerged as deep as your cuticle. Don’t drench the plant, but water it until water begins to drain out of the bottom of the pot.

Your aloe vera plant won’t get much bigger if you don’t change pots a lot.
