One, Overwatering Aloe vera is a plant with extremely high drought resistance, which means it does not require much water. Overwatering is one of the most common taboos when growing Aloe vera. Some people may water frequently out of concern for plant dehydration, but this approach is fatal to Aloe vera. Overwatering can cause the roots of Aloe vera to rot, thus affecting the growth of the entire plant. To provide Aloe vera with the appropriate amount of water, only water thoroughly when the soil is dry, and avoid overdoing it.
Two, Excessive exposure to sunlight or lack of light Aloe vera needs plenty of sunlight to grow normally, but it does not require exposure to direct sunlight. In the summer, strong sunlight can cause sunburn on the leaves of Aloe vera. Therefore, it is best to move Aloe vera to a semi-shaded area or indoors during hot weather. However, Aloe vera also does not need no sunlight at all; if it is placed in a dark place for a long time, it may cause the plant to grow tall and the leaf color to fade. Therefore, providing Aloe vera with an environment with sufficient light but not too intense is the best choice.
Three, Improper fertilization Proper fertilization is very important for the growth of Aloe vera, but too much or too little fertilizer can both harm the plant. When fertilizing, follow the principle of "a little at a time, multiple times," and never fertilize too much at once in pursuit of quick results. In addition, using concentrated or raw fertilizers can also burn the roots of Aloe vera. It is crucial to choose the right fertilizer based on the growth stage and needs of Aloe vera.
In summary, as long as these issues are noticed and corresponding measures are taken, you can successfully cultivate a healthy and beautiful Aloe vera plant.
