Recently in my little backyard there was an amazing transformation witnessed concerning my aloe vera plant. I am not new to planting aloe plants and I have always believed they can grow exceptionally fast. Aloe vera is an extraordinary plant with medicinal uses and it’s easy to grow and caring for one is not particularly hard, but it is still incredible to realize this.
At first, I placed the plant in a site where the sun was shining, so it got enough of the light. I understood that aloe vera is one plant which does well under bright but indirect sunlight, hence the concern in avoiding any direct burning rays. After some weeks, new shoots started cropping up, and the leaves were thick and vigorous. The leaves had a healthy green color which was a good sign of the plant’s welfare and care, which encouraged me a lot.
I paid attention to the watering since aloe vera is a succulent that does not need so much water. I abided by the rule of letting the soil dry out completely before the next watering, which increases the chances of behavioral root rot. This even spread of light and moisture concentration in the soil was essential in facilitating its increase in size.
Moreover, I began giving my aloe vera plant thinner balanced fertilizer every other month. This helped in providing additional nutrition for the plant to grow. The process of the growth of the plant was pleasing, and I took pride in taking care of the plant. The healthy and growing leaves were a source of happiness during my gardening activities.
In the next few weeks, I saw that the little effort that I had put into it resulted in a healthy and beautiful grown aloe Vera plant that now sits proudly as a core element of the garden. This has improved my gardening abilities and my appreciation towards nature’s life cycles as well.
