Aloe vera is a very common plant, and many families and companies cultivate it. However, there are many types of aloe vera, and Aloe vera is very different from ordinary aloe vera.

How to grow Aloe Vera at home

1. Division

When the aloe vera has grown four or five small leaves and three or five roots, you can separate the aloe vera from the mother plant and plant it in suitable soil. However, it is best to choose spring and autumn to divide the plant, as the temperature at this time is very suitable for cutting aloe vera. This is a skill we should pay attention to when growing aloe vera.

2. Cuttings

In addition to division, you can also use the cutting method. When the aloe vera grows to a certain height, use scissors to shorten it from the top of the stem ten centimeters, or cut it from the axil 10-15 centimeters, cut off the young shoots, and then put the cut part in a cool place for a week, and then cut it into the seedbed.

3. Leaf Insertion

Use a knife to cut a hole at the base of the aloe vera leaf, and then tear it down with your hands. After tearing off a small piece, place it in a cool place for a week to allow the cut to shrink. Then insert the torn leaf into the sterilized sand. After inserting it, roots and buds will grow in about a month.

The soil for growing aloe vera must be loose and well-drained. If the soil is too tight and airtight, it will cause root rot, which is not conducive to the growth of aloe vera. At the same time, pay attention to temperature control. It is best to control the temperature between 15-35 degrees. Water it frequently, but don't water it too much, which will easily cause the leaves to shrink.
