1. Aloe Vera
a.It is a succulent
b.It grows well in nutrient deprived soil (granite soil) around February. From the mother plant the pups growing from the side can be divided to grow more. Seeds take longer and there’s more success with pups. To keep bacteria from harming the pup you wait for the base to scab over for 1-2 days before replanting. In the summer you keep the soil moist but allow time to dry in between waterings. From watching my grandma’s garden depending on the conditions it takes 1-2 weeks for the seedling to germinate, and if it’s a pup we have a small plant in the same amount of time.
c. It’s ready to harvest as soon as it starts growing, although you want to cut off leaves and pups when it’s bigger. It’s easy to get a crop of aloe vera using pups, and the product is almost instantly ready to use.
d. They can be grown 6-8 inches apart from each other. They grow at an angle upwards which leaves a lot of room for big groups of them.
e. Aloe vera can be put into nutrient deprived granite soil and still be fine, but for best results cacti succulent mixes should be used for nutrient fertilizer.
f.It requires a minimal amount of water, keeping the dirt dry in between watering, and you water at the base.
g.Lithops species and Snake plants.
3. It makes a delicious drink, and a leaf cut off can be used to help heal burns and cuts.
