How to cultivate aloe vera

First of all, you must know the requirements for environmental conditions

Aloe vera is native to tropical deserts and has the following characteristics:

. It likes heat and is afraid of cold: the suitable temperature is about 20℃ or lower. Zero temperature means freezing at about 10°C, which is almost a standstill. Wenzhou winter planting greenhouse planting pots should be placed in a sunny place facing south to avoid wind or indoors in winter to reduce freezing damage

2. Loose soil: sandy soil and sticky yellow mud should be added with half of the The sand promotes loosening, breathability and drainage

3. Drought resistance and avoid moisture: Aloe vera in the desert is called a "drought-dead plant" due to lack of water in the desert. It dries up in the sun and dries up. Less watering affects the soil and water accumulation, which often causes root rot and drowning< /p>

4. Like the sun: There is almost no rain in the desert and there is strong sunshine. The planting section should be able to bask in the sun.

5. Appropriate fertilization: less fertilizer can be suitable for vigorous fertilization

Mud pots for potted aloe vera should be porcelain pots. Plastic pots have poor air permeability and are prone to root rot

1. Temperature and light. Aloe vera likes light and should be placed outdoors for ventilation and lighting. In summer, it should be moderately shaded. In winter, it should be placed higher than If the sun is sunny at 5℃, it is a safe winter

2. Water aloe vera to prevent water accumulation during the period. If the soil is wet, the roots will become deprived of oxygen and rot and die. Spray or pour water on the leaves to keep them slightly moist. Wait until the pot soil is dry. Water during the winter dormancy period. It is also necessary to keep the soil dry, otherwise the low temperature and humid environment will easily cause root rot and leaf rot

3. Soil and fertilizer Aloe Vera is widely adaptable to sandy loam soil and ensure that the soil is loose, fertile, water-retaining and breathable. Use rotten leaves. The soil is divided into half and half coarse sand, and then mixed with some decomposed horse manure, dried chicken and duck manure. During the fertilization period, apply 2-3 decomposed thin liquid fertilizers or rice water. It is more suitable to apply concentrated fertilizer. It is better to fertilize to avoid root rot

4. Repot should be repotted every 2-3 days. Repotting should be carried out in spring and April. Its seasonal management is easy to die. Repot and repot. Remove the soil outside the pot and remove the rotten roots. Use a tile pad with 2-3cm of furnace ash and slag. Stones, bricks, etc. are used as drainage layer cushions and culture soil. Place the new soil around the plants and fill them lightly with new soil. Water the permeable drainage holes slightly.

The standard of whether the pot soil is dry is In winter, you need to control watering even if the soil is relatively dry. It doesn't matter, otherwise it is easy to cause root rot. In hot and humid seasons, aloe vera is susceptible to black spot. Use 600 times mancozeb to prevent and control it.

1． Cuttings: In spring, from March to April, cut the tops of strong plants to make cuttings. Cut 10cm to 15cm of cuttings. Cut the leaves on both sides of the base and put them in a cool place for 2 to 3 days. When the cuts are slightly dry, insert them into the culture soil and keep the pot soil moist for 20 to 30 days.
