_ planting skills of aloe vera

(1) Planting in nutrient-rich soil

Everyone knows that aloe is barren-tolerant, so many people just make do with some soil when planting aloe.

As we all know, if you want aloe to grow well, even more and more, then when choosing soil, you should first choose soil with sufficient nutrition and good air permeability.

Moreover, when soil hardening has affected the root respiration of plants, the soil should be replaced immediately.

"If you don't want to spend money to buy nutritious soil, you can add some fermented ripe peel vegetables and leaves to the ordinary garden soil to strengthen fertility; You can also mix some broken tiles, sand or sawdust to enhance the permeability of the soil! "

Change the soil. When the temperature is stable at 15~30℃ in spring and autumn, change the soil for aloe at will!

Aloe vera is a plant with strong vitality. You don't need to cut off the water in advance when changing the soil, just come out of the flowerpot directly.

Trim all the yellow and withered leaves before putting them in a pot, and then plant them directly in the prepared nutrient soil!

If possible, soak the roots with carbendazim aqueous solution in advance and disinfect them. If not, it will have no effect!

② Get more sunshine.

Aloe vera likes to grow in a sunny environment, especially when the temperature is below 35℃. The more light, the better it grows!

Generally, in the three stages of spring, autumn and winter, it has been placed in a position where it can bathe in the sun all day!

In summer, look at the temperature changes at that time. When the temperature is continuously higher than 35℃, place the potted aloe plants away from direct sunlight.

In addition, even if the blade is occasionally injured by strong light, the edge of the blade tends to turn yellow or even soft. Don't worry, there's no need to cut them off. Just move them to a well-ventilated place as soon as possible, replenish more water and take good care of them. Aloe leaves that are slightly yellow or soft will soon be automatically repaired!

(3) less water.

The reason why the stems and leaves of aloe are so thick is that it stores a lot of water and nutrients, which makes it naturally drought-tolerant!

Therefore, in the process of breeding, we don't need to water it often. Even when the soil is slightly dry and white, we can wait until the soil is completely dry before watering it.

Watering can also be done regularly every season to keep the soil moderately dry.

Experience: water once every two weeks in the spring and autumn period 1-2;

Raise it in the open air in summer and water it 2-3 times a week;

In the cold winter, there is no need to water outdoors, but it is enough to water indoors once every two weeks.

④ Apply thin chemical fertilizer.

Aloe vera has very low demand for fertilizer, and it can grow normally without fertilization!

But in the spring and autumn period, it is the peak of growth. Without fertilization, aloe will grow slower than aloe with fertilization.

Therefore, whether it is to make aloe grow better or make it grow as long as possible, it is necessary to apply fertilizer regularly at this stage, and add dilute water-soluble fertilizer every 15 to 20 days to fully supplement various nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium.

As for the season with large temperature difference between winter and summer, if the ambient temperature can be kept at 15-25℃, then fertilization can be carried out regularly!

Without the conditions to achieve this state, you can't use homemade fertilizer or high-efficiency compound fertilizer!

Summary:

I sincerely suggest that friends who like to grow flowers keep a pot of aloe at home, which will not only help to maintain beauty, but also bring countless fun and benefits!

What kind of aloe do you like? Can you plant it? !
