Many people like to grow flowers at home because the appreciation of flowers is very high. But in fact, some green bonsai are also worth maintaining at home.

Although they do not have beautiful flowers, their appreciation is also not to be ignored. And they also have some practicality, such as the aloe vera introduced today. Aloe vera is very practical, especially the "king" of aloe vera, , Curacao vera , which can play a good role in some minor illnesses and injuries, and the method of use is also very simple. You only need to cut off its leaves and rub it for a while.

For example, when we are bitten by mosquitoes, we have a small red dot or a slight burn on the skin, we just need to cut a leaf of aloe vera and apply it to the surface of the skin with aloe vera gel inside it. This can not only prevent inflammation and sterilization, but also avoid wound infection. We can also use aloe vera gel to make facial masks, or to make drinks and dishes. In short, there are many benefits to growing aloe vera at home.

So friends, if we want to raise some plants at home, we might as well consider aloe vera. Aloe vera is also a plant that is very suitable for beginners to maintain. Keep it in a flower pot and basically ignore it, it will not wither because of it. Just simple management is required and aloe can grow densely. The leaves of aloe vera are thick and contain a lot of aloe vera gel. Aloe vera gel is a very effective thing and can be used to maintain the skin, and can also be used as a Chinese medicinal material, etc.

If friends have any knowledge about beauty, they also know that many facial masks or skin care products use aloe vera as the raw material. Therefore, it is both ornamental and practical to grow this plant at home. So what issues should we pay attention to in order to maintain aloe vera at home?

1, choose the pot soil

If the aloe vera that you want to grow is thick, then we must not be careless when choosing soil. Although ordinary soil can also allow aloe to grow normally. But if friends use loose soil with better breathability, it will undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort and make it grow better. We can choose large grains of river sand mixed with nutrient soil, or mixed pastoral soil to plant aloe vera.

Loose soil can allow the roots of aloe to penetrate deeply into the soil and absorb enough nutrients, so that its leaves can grow very vigorously, and many small aloe seedlings can burst out. Aloe vera grows relatively fast and has strong vitality. Even in summer, this plant will not lie dormant, but in winter, it is best for friends to keep it warm. Try to place it at a temperature above 10 degrees to avoid frostbite.

2. To cultivate aloe vera, watering should be controlled

The leaves of aloe vera contain a lot of aloe vera gel, and its leaves are also full of moisture, so this plant itself is relatively drought-tolerant. When we water it, we don’t have to water it too much. We basically don’t water it for a month, and we don’t have to worry about its growth. Even if its leaves have wrinkles and are a little dry, as long as we replenish it, it can still recover.

So when caring aloe vera, you should wait until the soil in the pot is dry before watering it, and watering the soil thoroughly at one time. This will not only cause the problem of water accumulation, but also meet the water demand of aloe vera. Therefore, some lazy people who often forget to water have no problems with growing aloe vera, and they can be easily raised.

3. Raise aloe vera and choose the variety that suits you

Aloe vera There are also many varieties of plant varieties, and friends cannot choose casually when choosing. In addition, not every variety of aloe vera can be eaten, so friends should not pick its leaves and eat it when they don’t know about the variety of aloe vera.There are aloe vera varieties that can be eaten include Curacao and Chinese aloe vera, but I don’t recommend other varieties to my friends.

And if we grow aloe vera at home, I also recommend these two varieties first. Especially Aloe Curacao, it is very practical. This aloe is relatively large in size and has thick leaves. If we want to use aloe vera gel, this aloe vera is also very convenient. Just break off a leaf and you can remove a large amount of aloe vera gel.

Make facial masks in beauty shops, skin hydration , this kind of Curacao vera, whitening , skin rejuvenation, and skin nourishment. Many cosmetics contain aloe vera ingredients, which is very popular among the general public. Moreover, Aloe Curacao is used to make drinks or dishes, which are very good. It is a good variety that you should not miss when growing aloe vera at home, and it can be called the "treasure box" at home.

Curacao Aloe Vera is a perennial variety. Many friends who like aloe Vera can directly raise it for decades and grow into a small tree. It is really spectacular, full of aloe leaves, enough for a year.
