How to care for aloe
It is easy to choose the size of the pot - it is recommended to focus on the volume of the root system.
If aloe roots are actively growing to the sides, it is better to take a wide container.
If the examination shows that the root shoots extend deep, you will have to use a high pot when replanting.
Aloe prefers light and warmth. The plant has an amazing natural mechanism that allows it to store moisture and use it sparingly.
Therefore, the plant can grow in conditions of prolonged drought.
Overwatering will cause the roots to rot, which will harm the health of the plant. It is best to let the soil dry completely between waterings.
In warm months this may be about once a week, and in cold months it may be once every two weeks.
It is important to water it with filtered water because, like other succulents, Chinese aloe vera is very sensitive to the mineral content and pH of tap water.
