Hi Lovers Natural Medicine

in Indonesia aloe vera has been known as medicine and cosmetics for centuries because of its properties, there are various kinds of ingredients needed by the health of the body.

Aloe vera is a succulent plant with a slightly pointed, thick, serrated tip which is very easy to find in our area, this is because almost every yard is planted with aloe vera either in pot or directly. Likewise in terms of maintenance, it does not require a lot of maintenance, and can be placed anywhere without taking up a lot of space.
Aloe vera plant known by the Latin name Aloe vera is often used as a home remedy to treat various diseases ranging from neutralizing air pollution, treating internal and external diseases. including beauty treatments.
I am also one of the beneficiaries of the aloe vera plant. while for cultivation I use potting media. the type of aloe that I cultivate is called marlothii. this type is single stemmed.
The first step to growing aloe vera is to prepare the pot first. Make sure the pot you buy has plenty of drainage holes. In this case, I used an old bucket as the medium.
Prepare the aloe vera seeds that you want to plant. Dig a little of the planting media that has been prepared beforehand, then add the aloe vera seeds. You don't want to dig too deep, as aloe vera has relatively short roots and spreads around an area close to the soil surface.
Make sure the aloe vera gets enough sun.
Water the aloe vera plant once every 2-3 weeks.
apply fertilizer to the aloe vera plant. in this case I use rice washing water.
this is my way to take aloe vera gel.
- Aloe vera leaves
- Knife or peeler
- Small spoon
- Airtight container for storing
