Many people are convinced that aloe requires virtually no care.
Actually, this is the reason why the plant has become so popular.
But this is a misconception. If aloe is not cared for sufficiently, its leaves will be thin and not particularly attractive, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What are some important points to know about care?
Proper watering
If you provide aloe with the most correct watering system, the plant will have beautiful and dense leaves. If you make mistakes, the aloe will look thin and lifeless.
Watering aloe is easy.
In the summer period, watering is carried out once every seven days. In the cold season, moisture is added once every 30 days.
Light
Aloe is often included in the list of plants that do not need sunlight to develop normally. This is a misconception. If you do not want the plant to look stunted, then it needs to be provided with at least three hours of sunbathing every day.
Pot
Don't give in to the temptation to plant aloe in small pots. In this case, the plant's development will be very mediocre.
On the contrary, the size of the container should be large and capacious.
Top dressing
We are accustomed to the fact that any plants need to be actively fed in order for them to be healthy, beautiful and attractive.
This rule does not apply to aloe.
It is best to apply nutrients only twice a year.
