How is aloe vera grown, how is aloe vera grown?

Aloe vera prefers fertile and well-drained soil and can be grown with a mixture of 7 parts peat or humus and 3 parts perlite or river sand. In daily watering, we must remember not to water too often, follow the principle of seeing dry and wet, you can give it more direct sunlight in spring and autumn, and we had better put it indoors in a sunny place in winter.

Aloe vera is native to Africa and prefers warmth, drought tolerance, not cold tolerance, light-loving, and prefers well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic sandy loam soils. It is easy to cultivate, adaptable, and grows quickly, as long as enough organic fertilizer is applied as base fertilizer, and it is not usually topdressed. Aloe vera loves light and requires plenty of sunlight.

If the growing environment is too shady, the growth rate of aloe vera will be slowed down, and it is easy to cause the leaves to grow long and thin. However, it should not be blindly placed in the sun for a long time, because the light is too strong, which will cause the aloe vera to be in a semi-dormant state or stop growing, and it is easy to wither after being exposed to high temperature in the sun.

Aloe vera prefers warmth and is afraid of cold. If it is below 0, you will get frostbitten. When the temperature on the balcony gradually drops below 5, it should be moved to an indoor environment.

Aloe vera should avoid humid environment, and is more afraid of standing water, so watering should not be excessive, generally 5 days to 10

It can be poured once a day. To determine whether it is time to water, the soil in the pot is dry. In winter, it is necessary to control watering, even if the soil is relatively dry, it does not matter, otherwise it is easy to rot roots.

In the season of high temperature and high humidity, aloe vera is easy to get black spot disease, and it is generally controlled with 600 times mancozeb.

Propagation method: Aloe vera can be propagated by cuttings and divides.

1. Cuttings: From March to April in spring, cut the top of the growing old plant as a cutting, the cuttings are 10 cm to 15 cm long, cut off the leaves on both sides of the base, put it in a cool place for 2 to 3 days, wait for the incision to dry slightly, insert it in the culture soil, keep the potting soil moist, and take root in 20 to 30 days.

2. Dividing method: When changing pots every spring, the young plants are separated from the old plants and planted in a pot. The newly potted young plants should be watered controllably, placed outdoors in a ventilated and semi-shaded place in summer, watered every afternoon, maintained at a temperature of more than 5 in winter, and placed indoors in a dry and sunny place to grow well.

Before planting aloe vera, you need to choose a pot that suits your growing characteristics, not just according to your preferences. When planting aloe vera, it is best to choose a clay pot that is suitable for planting roots to get oxygen, and not a ceramic pot that is usually used for planting plants. Although it is not practical to look good.

SoilWhen choosing soil, aloe vera should choose a sandy leaf decay soil with fertile soil, good air permeability and easy drainage, and choose a weakly alkaline or medium soil. Failure to do so may result in poor aloe vera growth. Temperature aloe vera grows in areas with sufficient sunlight and no high cold air currents all year round, so aloe vera is less resistant to high cold air, and the temperature difference between early spring and late autumn is relatively large, so aloe vera should be placed indoors to grow at night in early spring.

In the summer, the temperature is suitable for the growth of aloe vera, and it is the fastest growing period, so you can grow aloe vera outdoors. In the cold winter, the temperature is too high and cold, below freezing, and in order to avoid frostbite of aloe vera, aloe vera should be brought indoors to grow. Light aloe vera like other tropical plants that like light, aloe vera likes full sunlight and good air flow, which can promote the synthesis of photosynthesis and make aloe vera grow better.

The scorching sunlight in summer can not allow aloe vera to be placed in direct sunlight for a long time to selectively shade the sun, and the aloe vera grown indoors in winter should be supplemented with suitable light, choose the right time for ventilation, and do not place the aloe vera in long-term rainy weather or the rainy weather is too humid, which will lead to poor growth and development of aloe vera. Watering aloe vera also needs to replenish water when growing, but watering should be in moderation, watering interval should also be appropriate, in the warm and humid climate of spring and autumn do not overwater, generally ten days, half a month watering is enough, but follow a choice, watering should be thorough, do not cause a lot of excess water in the pot, will let the roots of the plant rot, aloe vera will also die. In summer, the watering interval should be shortened, and the watering can should be used to water the area around the plant, which can not only maintain the color of the plant, but also create a good environment for its growth.

Fertilizer If you want to make the plant grow strongly, the appropriate fertilizer can not be missing, the plant can be selectively fertilized with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for ten days in the early growth period, and some organic fertilizer can also be added in the later growth period, and the manure gives it enough nutrients. Make its plants grow stronger.

If there are too many shoots, you need to erase some of them and leave some larger ones for cuttings. Roots can be planted in pots, temporarily placed indoors, when the temperature rises more than 20 degrees, it can be placed outdoors in the semi-shade of breeding, do not water too much, so as not to rot the roots.

Aloe vera is the best plant to raise, and its growth characteristics are that it likes sunlight but is afraid of the scorching sun; Likes moisture, but avoids stagnant water; Resistant to high temperatures and cold. Therefore, you should bask in the morning and evening sun more, and do not expose yourself to the sun at noon. Pay attention to watering, if it is hot, you should water it every day, and at other times it will be dry and wet.

In winter, it is best to move indoors. If these points are done well, it will be easy to raise.

First of all, the seedlings bought are planted in loose soil, watered thoroughly, first placed in a cool place, and then watered normally and bask in the sun after a few days. If it is a broken plant, you can first raise the roots in the water and then repeat the above steps.
