What Will Happen To Aloe vera Pups Inside The Box for One Month?
For some reasons, the mail is delayed for a month, the Aloe vera plant you will receive is almost white and longer than it is supposed to be. This is because the plant has not seen light for a very long time.
Before planting it in the soil, place the plant in a well lighted room without direct sunlight. In a few days, it will start to change its color and after a wee the plant will be greener. Don't worry about not planting it directly in the soil because Aloe vera can survive without soil for many weeks.
After a week, you can now plant the Aloe vera, but place it in a shaded area. Start exposing the plant to the morning sun two weeks after planting.
