Tips for maintaining aloe vera:
1, location of maintenance
The maintenance of aloe should take into account the environmental temperature, especially in winter, and the minimum maintenance temperature should be kept above five degrees, so as to avoid the freezing temperature being too low, and the leaves of aloe are easy to be frostbitten and difficult to recover. Putting aloe in a sunny place can emit as much scattered light as possible, so it is very suitable to put it on the windowsill facing south and west.
2. Selection of soil
No matter what type of soil is used, it is necessary to add appropriate river sand or perlite to increase the drainage of the soil. It is best to use cactus soil to maintain good drainage, and 2 to 3 equal parts of perlite or river sand can be added. The flowerpot should also have large drainage holes, and the bottom of the pot can be covered with a layer of granular stone or broken tiles to prevent the drainage holes from being blocked.
3. Water and fertilizer
Aloe needs little water, especially in places with insufficient indoor light. If you keep it in a sunny place, you can consider watering it once a week.
If you keep it indoors in a dark place, you can water it once every 20 to 30 days. Before each watering, make sure the soil is completely dry, don't give too much water, and don't let the soil get too wet or accumulate water.
