Aloe

Aloe is a kind of shrubby foliage plants native to Africa. Most of them have no stems, and their fleshy leaves are clustered at the base in a rosette shape. Their flowers are usually yellow or red, and their filaments are slender and very beautiful. Aloe has a wide variety of plants with different uses. Some of them have medicinal value and can be used for anti-inflammatory and skin moisturizing. Some varieties have sharp spines on the edge of their leaves, with special shape and high ornamental value. Some varieties also have edible value. In addition, a special micro aloe is also more and more loved by people. Their leaves are thick and short, and their inflorescences are small. They are very suitable for family potted planting, which does not occupy space and can decorate the living environment.
Aloe plants like light and heat, with low water demand. They can be watered once in 5-10 days. Excessive watering can easily lead to rotten roots when ponding is formed. Most of them are not cold resistant, and the suitable temperature for growth is 15-30 ℃. When the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, they will stop growing, and even frostbite when the temperature is lower than zero. Meristematic and cutting propagation are their main propagation methods, with simple operation and high survival rate.

3-6 hours of sun per day, with protection from intense mid-day sun
