What causes thunderstorms? Thunderstorms form when an air mass becomes so unstable that it overturns (convects) violently. Unstable means that the air in the lowest layers is unusually warm and humid, or that the upper layers are unusually cool, or oftentimes, both.
Aloe is the name of a plant genus that contains more than 300 species. Most of the aloe species are native to Africa, Madagascar and the Arabian Peninsula. In addition to the familiar cactus-like plant called aloe vera that many people use to soothe sunburns and other skin ailments, this genus has plants that range from grassy succulents to large trees.
When taking care of your aloe vera plant, follow these plant care tips: 1  Choose an aloe vera-friendly container. Aloe vera has shallow roots that grow outwards rather than deep like most plants. 2  Use the right kind of soil. Aloe vera grows best in very well drained, sandy soil. 3  Place the aloe vera in an ideal location. Aloe vera plants need lots of sunlight and warmth in order to grow properly. Place the plant on a warm window sill that gets plenty of indirect sunlight, and preferably away from drafts. The leaves will start to brown if the plant is getting too much direct sunlight. Aloe vera plants can not tolerate cold temperatures and will freeze very easily. Go easy on the water. This is the most important of the 5 Aloe vera plant care tips. Over-watering Aloe vera plants is one of the main reason why many people are not successful with growing these plants. Aloe vera is a succulent which means it is at greater danger of over-watering than it is at under watering. Aloe vera should be watered every two weeks.
