Some of the following guidelines will help housewives grow and care for aloe vera plants easily and conveniently at home.

Aloe vera plants bring a lot of uses for beauty as well as good for health, so, growing aloe vera at home is currently quite popular with housewives. However, planting trees properly is not known to everyone. A few guidelines below will help housewives refer to how to grow and care for aloe vera plants.

First, housewives need to prepare soil, aloe vera leaves and planting tools. As for the soil, because the aloe vera plant is drought tolerant but cannot tolerate waterlogging, housewives only need to choose a loose and porous soil. It is best to choose sandy soil or buy soil mixed with rice husk, coir, cow dung, chicken manure, bird droppings ... to ensure the best drainage.

Next, housewives need to choose quality aloe vera leaves for breeding. The safest way is to buy aloe vera leaves at reputable stores and gardens. In particular, do not forget to prepare trays or pots, or foam boxes to plant plants. Note that trays, pots or Styrofoam containers used to grow plants also need to be perforated in the bottom to ensure drainage and avoid waterlogging that kills plants.

After preparing everything, the housewives placed the aloe vera leaves horizontally in the pot and used their hands to cultivate a little soil to cover half of the leaves. Next, place the pot of aloe vera in a sunny place, water it moderately until the soil is moist enough. Regular watering should be done once a day to ensure healthy growth of aloe vera plants. After the aloe leaves begin to sprout, reduce the frequency of watering to every 2 days.

15 days after the aloe vera plant sprouted seedlings, housewives applied organic fertilizer to the tree. This will help the plant to be supplemented with nutrients, grow evenly and green. If housewives want to grow aloe vera plants to harvest leaves as masks, or tea... please add ashes of firewood to increase efficiency and help plants grow stronger.

Usually, after 1 year, the aloe vera plant will reach its maximum growth and can be harvested. To harvest, the housewives should use a sharp knife and cut the leaves close to the base of the aloe vera plant and then use aloe vera according to their needs.
