How to raise aloe vera, how to water it

Growing aloe vera is relatively straightforward. You can add sandy soil and mix some flower fertilizer in the flower tray, and do not use clay. When planting, bury the soil to the roots, and do not bury the core of aloe vera in the soil.

Water thoroughly at once and put it in a shady, ventilated place. Wait until the surface of the soil is dry, then water. Raising aloe vera at home, you don't have to worry about it, especially the Japanese "Muli", which is watered once every half a month, and it will grow very well.

However, it is necessary to prune and divide the roots in time to ensure nutrition.

It can be exposed to a small amount of sun, aloe vera is afraid of cold, and it grows in a frost-free environment all year round for a long time. At around 5 it stops growing, and at 0, the life process is impaired, and if it is below 0, frostbite occurs. The most suitable temperature for growth is 15-35 and humidity is 45-85.

Water: Like all plants, aloe vera needs water, but is most afraid of standing water. In rainy and humid seasons or in the case of poor drainage, it is easy for leaves to shrive, root rot and even die.

Watering should be done to see dry and wet, and pay attention to the degree of dryness and wetness.

So-called"See Dry"It means that after watering once, wait until the soil surface is white, and the surface and internal soil moisture disappear, and then water the second time, and then water it for a second time. If the inside is wet, it is not suitable for continuous watering, which is easy to cause water accumulation in the lower part of the soil, which will seriously lead to root rot.

So-called"See wet"It means that every time you water, you have to water thoroughly, that is, until there is water seeping out of the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot, and you can't water it"Half cut water"(i.e., wet at the top and dry at the bottom), because the roots of a pot of vigorous plants are mostly concentrated at the bottom of the pot and watered"Half cut water"In fact, it is equivalent to not watering.

Aloe vera is a tropical plant, and its biggest disadvantage is that it is cold-inducing. But in addition to being afraid of cold, it is a plant with strong fertility and is not squeamish. As long as it is not subjected to frost and snow, it is usually watered with some water and occasionally fertilized, and the survival rate is very high. So it's easy for everyone to grow.

Soil and fertilizer.

The ideal soil for aloe vera planting is mainly swamp soil and sand, and it is enough to add humus soil, grass ash and shell flakes. Clay is not good for drainage and should be avoided as much as possible.

If the soil contains fertilizer, there is no need for fertilizer at all.

Watering. When planting aloe vera, the most important thing is not to use too much water, otherwise the medicinal ingredients will be weakened, and in severe cases, the roots will fester.

In spring, it is generally watered every 5 days; In the hot summer, water once a day when the sun goes down; Watering in autumn is the same as in spring; In winter, aloe vera is almost dormant, and the soil on the surface is simply wet.

Wintering method. Aloe vera safely overwinters at temperatures above 5 degrees. At sub-zero temperatures, the moisture in the leaves will quickly freeze. At this point, it was the end of its life.

1.Simple wintering method.

Plant in pots. After November, the pots should be moved indoors to a sunny place as much as possible.

2.Dry wintering method.

In November, it is necessary to control the amount of water supplied and keep the soil dry. When the soil is completely dry, pull the aloe vera out of the pot, brush off the soil on it, wrap it in a large paper bag, and place it in a place that does not take up space in the house. By April of the following year, it will be transplanted into the new soil and it will thrive as before.

3.Use plastic film or simple wooden greenhouses.

The insulation performance of plastic film greenhouses is excellent, but during the day, when the sun is full, the indoor temperature sometimes rises to about 30 degrees Celsius, so open the doors and windows to ventilate it; Keep your doors and windows closed before the temperature drops at night and don't let the heat run away.

Simple wooden greenhouses also have the problem of excessive temperature difference between day and night, so the same method should be adopted. Stuffing fallen leaves or foamed styrene between pots is also a way to reduce the temperature difference. In March, the shelter can be removed during the day to reduce the temperature difference between day and night.

In fact, aloe vera is very leathery, as long as you pay attention to the regular distribution of its own sprouts, otherwise it will not be easy to grow.

To raise aloe vera, watering should be "proper", as long as the watering method is correct, it will be more and more prosperous.
