Steps to follow to cut an aloe vera stalk<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. It is very important to cut the leaves that are going to be used, because if you cut too much, the juice of aloe vera withers and loses its properties.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. It is imperative that the aloe vera plant is ripe so that it contains all its properties.<\/span> For this they must spend approximately three years.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. It is advisable to always cut the lower leaves of the plant, since these will be the oldest leaves that have been thrown and therefore will be the ones with the greatest properties and benefits.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. You can see that the base part of the sheet is white.<\/span> Make a longitudinal cut at that height and cut the stalk.<\/span> For this you need a very sharp knife or a pruning shear.<\/span> It is recommended that the material of the utensil to cut be made of wood or porcelain because this way the aloe vera gel will take much longer to oxidize.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With these four simple steps we have already cut the stalk of aloe vera ready to extract the gel and use it for our care.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
