Rooting method:
Put the leaves in a warm place and wait patiently for the cut surface to dry and grow a film. This process takes as little as a few days and as much as two weeks. The film can isolate the cutting surface from the bacteria in the soil. Aloe leaves will rot soon after infection.
Find a flowerpot with a drain hole at the bottom. Like most plants, aloe needs enough water to grow, but it is not tolerant to waterlogging. If the flowerpot has no drainage holes, the soil will accumulate water, which will lead to the root rot and death of plants. Even the tenacious plant aloe can't stand such a "fatal injury".
Fill the flowerpot with soil special for succulents, and then sprinkle some water to moisten the nutrient soil. If there is no special soil, it can also be prepared by itself, as long as sand and potted soil are mixed according to the ratio of 1: 1.
Insert the leaves face down into the soil. Ensure that the inserted part accounts for one third of the total length of the blade.
You can try to soak the incision slightly with plant rooting agent. If you don't have rooting agent at hand, you can also apply cinnamon powder or honey to the incision. The latter two are used for sterilization and disinfection, while rooting element can induce the growth of plant roots by chemical methods. Rooting powder can also be mixed with honey, so that the prepared solution has two functions at the same time. If you don't like chemical reagents, you can also use willow bark or branches as rooting agents at home.
Put the cut aloe leaves in a warm and sunny place, and pay special attention to watering. For the first four weeks, you need to keep the soil moist. After the plants take root successfully, they are cultured in water.
