Aloe vera is a very popular succulent plant
and I have already posted two videos on it one was about separating the aloe vera
babies from mother plant and repotting them independently and the second was regarding
the medicinal values of aloe plant. Now in this Video, am gonna show you How to
grow Aloe vera plant indoors and how to take care of it. These are the same Aloe vera babies also called
as Offsets, that we separated from mother plant a month ago. You can watch the previous videos and the
link is given in the description. Well Coming back to its Indoor care!
Aloe vera is easy to grow indoors as a potted plant, and makes a wonder houseplant. Given the proper care, these amazing plants
can live for many, many years. The good news is that aloe vera plants are
super easy to grow plants whether indoors or outdoors, and they do very well in pots
of any size. The Secret here is : There is really not
much to it, and guess what ? your aloe vera might just do better if you ignore it, they
thrive on neglect. But, there are certain things you need to
do to keep your aloe vera plant growing to it s best. The two most important parts of aloe vera
plant care are proper - watering and lighting. The most common mistake people make when it
comes to aloe vera plant care is overwatering. They donot require so much water as you think,
they are succulents and already have lot of water and moisture stored in their leaves. In nature, aloes grow in desert climates where
they hardly get any rain. Aloe vera succulent plants hold water in their
leaves, so they can go a very long time without water. Overwatering will eventually cause the stem
and roots of the plant to rot, eventually killing the whole plant. Obviously we definitely do not want that
to happen! Remember one thing, Depending on the season
you need to water them, like in summer you may need to water them frequently. Firstly check the soil for moisture, not
just the upper layer of the soil, but a little below an inch. If its moist then donot water them. Thats it about watering. The second most important thing about aloe
vera plant care is proper lighting. Aloe vera plants will grow their best indoors
when given good amount of light. A south facing window would be the ideal spot,
but they also grow well under artificial lights. If you do not have enough sunlight in your
home, then you should definitely use a grow light for your aloe vera. Alternately, you can move your aloe vera plant
twice a week into sunlight, preferably indirect sunlight, only if its not thriving
indoors. Lastly ! the Best Potting Soil For Aloe Vera
Plants is one that drains very quickly, and does not hold water , like cocopeat or
a mix of cocopeat and soil or sand in any proportion to make it a well drained potting
soil. Also, it does not require any fertilizer whether
organic or inorganic. Thats all in this video friends ! See you
in next informational video ! Till Then Take Care of yourself!
