In order for a plant to grow and develop safely, it needs certain nutrients, which contribute to the production of vital energy.

The advantage of extracting from leaves is that it is non-toxic, non-addictive in flowers, well tolerated by them and practically has no drawbacks. As a nutritious fertilizer, succulent juice is used for weak and poorly developing plants with weakened stems and leaves.

You can not use freshly squeezed juice from aloe leaves, since it can work the other way around: slow down the growth of already weakened indoor flowers and lead to their death.

Experience has shown that even expired seeds, kept in solution with aloe juice, give amicable seedlings. Agave juice, whose leaves are kept in a dark place at low temperature, becomes more useful for seed germination and rooting of cuttings. Seeds of tomatoes, eggplant, cabbage, radish, lettuce, soaked in a solution with aloe, germinate well and are less susceptible to damage by fungi and rot than untreated seeds.

It is impossible to sustain pumpkin, pepper, onion, celery seeds in aloe juice. The seeds of these crops can only be soaked in water.
