☟︎︎︎ Tips to grow aloe vera at home. ☟︎︎︎ 

  1. Growing aloe vera at home is simple. It's a succulent that enjoys dry, warm regions, so it doesn't require daily watering. It won't suffer from a lack of watering; in fact, it may benefit from it, as this drought-tolerant plant thrives in dry environments. You should avoid overwatering the plan and if you keep it outside, make sure to keep it covered when it rains.
  2. Aloe vera plants, which can reach a height of one to two feet and a width of one foot, thrive in tropical climes. You won't be able to leave it outside all year unless you live in Hawaii, Southern California, or Southern Florida. However, you can easily put it in a pot and bring it inside when the weather cools down (ideally any time it gets close to 50 degrees F or coolers). A good aloe vera plant requires a lot of light, so put it outside in the sun or on a sunny ledge inside.
  3. When placing your aloe vera plant in a container, choose a shallow, broad bowl to allow the roots to move and spread as they grow. Around the plant's base, fresh seeds will develop, which you can harvest and transfer into a new pot.

☟︎︎︎ Storing of aloe vera. ☟︎︎︎

Aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice should be stored in a cool, non-humid environment, such as at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Humidity and temperature can have an impact on a product's shelf life. That's why aloe vera juice is commonly found in amber-coloured bottles. According to previous studies, the black bottle is designed to prevent light from damaging the active components.
