1. Cutting propagation method of aloe 1, selecting leaves.
First, you need to choose a healthy and thick aloe leaf on the mother plant, and then cut it off with a sharp knife. The knife must be disinfected and the angle of cutting leaves should be oblique.
Step 2 dry the wound
The freshly cut leaves can't be inserted directly into the pot soil, because there is a lot of juice in aloe. Leave the leaves in a cool and ventilated place for about two weeks before cutting, and prevent the wound from being infected, otherwise the leaves will rot. After the liquid of the leaves is solidified, cinnamon powder can be applied to the wound for sterilization.
3. Choose basin soil
Aloe must not accumulate water, so the flowerpot must drain well. If it accumulates water, it will easily lead to root rot. The soil is preferably sandy soil for planting cactus, and the bottom of the flowerpot should be paved with broken tiles to prevent the drain pipe from blocking and causing water accumulation.
4. Cut into the soil
First, apply a little rooting powder to the wound of aloe leaves, then insert the leaves obliquely into the soil, and insert 1/3 of the leaves into the soil. Can improve the survival rate, take root and germinate faster.
5. Rooting and curing
Finally, put the cut potted plants in a warm, ventilated and scattered place. Don't water it when you just cut it. Wait 4-5 days before watering them. Keep the soil moist at ordinary times, and you will see it dry and wet. It usually takes about half a month to take root and sprout.
Second, aloe cutting precautions 1, watering
This problem is also mentioned in the diagram of how aloe vera is cut and propagated. Don't water it too much, because the root system of aloe is easy to accumulate water and rot. When watering at ordinary times, be sure not to pour water into the center of the leaves. After accumulating water, the stems and leaves will rot. As long as the soil is moist at ordinary times, don't dry it or water it.
2. Lighting equipment
Reasonable light can promote the photosynthesis of aloe, and newly cut aloe also needs light. Leaves can synthesize auxin and send it to the base to make it take root and sprout faster.
3. Temperature and humidity
The suitable temperature for aloe cutting is generally 25 ~ 28℃, so the survival rate of aloe cutting will be higher. If the air is very dry, you can also spray a little water mist on the leaves, but remember not to let the leaves accumulate water, otherwise the leaves will rot.
Step 4 apply fertilizer
Potted aloe needs regular fertilization because of limited nutrition in the pot soil. Generally, organic nitrogen fertilizer should be applied. Don't fertilize too much at a time, and don't pollute the leaves. If you accidentally get it on the leaves, clean it up immediately.
Conclusion; After reading the above, I believe everyone should know the cutting propagation method of aloe. When cutting, we must pay attention to various details to improve the survival rate of cutting leaves.
