Aloe Vera:
It is also known as a” Miracle Plant” and is famous for its medicinal properties to rejuvenate, calm and heal the human body. Aloe vera is a stemless succulent plant with thick, fleshy leaves and serrated edges. Although it grows wild in various tropical climates, it has also been successfully grown indoors as a potted plant. It is resistant to most pests. That again means you don't have to spend time removing these pests from leaves, and there's a treatment available for those cuts, bruises, and skin conditions!
The plant needs bright and sunny conditions to grow well. It is best placed under windows facing south or west. Aloe vera needs well-drained sandy potting soil to grow well. Experts recommend using commercially available "cactus and succulent mix" containers to ensure excess water drains away easily. To aid in this process, it is best to use clay pots to grow aloe vera because they are porous.
You must remember that aloe vera is a succulent plant like cactus, it grows best in dry conditions. Aloe vera does not tolerate standing water. Make sure the pot is completely dry before watering again.
Lucky Bamboo Plant:
The tree whose name starts with "Lucky" is a deadly gift in itself!
You can find it all over India; both at home and in the place of business, as it is believed to bring happiness and prosperity there. The positive effect of lucky bamboo depends on the number of trunks connected to each stem, which shows other levels of prosperity and profit.
Different Varieties- ribbon dracaena, lucky bamboo, Chinese water bamboo, Sander’s dracaena, and friendship bamboo.
Lucky Bamboo requires an appropriate level of management. One of the important things to keep in mind is that lucky bamboo plants should always be kept in clean water. Plants are susceptible to chemicals; traces of chlorine and fluorine in the water eventually affect the leaves and turn yellow or brown.
Since it cannot grow in direct sunlight, place it near a window so that it receives indirect sunlight. Use rich plotting and well-drained soil.
Change the water every 2 weeks. Also, remember that plants should be kept moist but not soaked all the time.
