If its leaves are thick, green in color, and the leaves are thicker and fuller, such aloe vera will be more beautiful and have more ornamental value. Some friends When you raise an aloe vera potted plant, you will find that it was in good condition in the first few months after you bought it, but as you keep it, you will find that its leaves have changed, and the tips of the leaves have begun to shrivel or even become scorched.

2. For newly purchased aloe vera, or transplanted aloe vera into pots, you must pay attention to one thing at the beginning, that is, do not water too much.
