Aloe leaves for juice or tincture - how to get it?
Aloe leaves for preserves should be older than two years, but less than five years old. Therefore, we need to know the age of the plant and reproduce it by noting when we planted young cuttings.
Gardeners recommend that you buy plants about 30 cm high, then the lower leaves will be usable. Let's check if the plant has side shoots. If so - it is known that he has been alive for over a year. The best raw material is Aloe vera.
Aloe requires sandy soil and a light position, but does not like standing in full sun. You should water it moderately, once or twice a week, to prevent the roots from rotting.
If we are going to use the leaves for juice or tincture - the plants from which we cut them, do not water them for two weeks. Cut the leaves for the preserves with a sharp knife right at the base and put them in the fridge for 24 hours. Cooling down increases the activity of the aloe vera ingredients.
