HOW TO GROW AN ALOE PLANT
- Like any type of plant, even if it does not need specific and constant care, it still needs to be pampered. It will respond to your care by growing vigorous and giving off positive vibes in your home.
- The optimal amount of water depends on various factors, in general a glass 1/2 times a week may be sufficient, taking care not to wet the leaves. This prevents water from settling between one leaf and another, with the danger of rotting. But remember, when in doubt it is better to keep yourself scarce!
- Being a succulent plant that in its natural state is accustomed to a dry climate, too abundant watering could be considerably more harmful, you would even risk drowning it!

Leaves starting to turn yellow, having yellowish and brownish spots
- after these first signs the leaves begin to curl up until they crumble and fall. If you observe them carefully, you will probably also notice very thin cobwebs because, given the symptoms, it means that we are in the presence of an attack of red spider mite, a harmful and annoying mite.
Try using natural, homemade (never chemical) garlic insecticides.
