Cool and what does the Aloe Vera do for your canna because I've got 6 Aloe Vera plants taking up space right now .
You can use the gel as a natural rooting hormone or blend the gel into a juice and add it to your waterings or as a foliar spray..Aloe is full of sugars and starches as well as micro nutes,vitamins,minerals,enzymes and plant growth regulators from what I've read..this is my first aloe plant but a few of the serious organic gardeners no-till and such on Instagram use it so I'm going to experiment and give it a shot.Some say they would never use it,others have magazine quality plants while using it..I'm going to see for myself.I've read it can be used in conjunction with neem oil as a foliar to treat and prevent powdery mildew.
