How to Cultivate and Maintain Aloe Vera

The cultivation techniques of aloe are as follows:

1. Aloe can be planted in March-April in spring or August-September in autumn every year. During this period, the temperature is stable at about 15℃ and the illumination time is long, which can improve the survival rate of aloe after colonization, but the specific colonization time should be adjusted according to the local climate conditions.

2. When changing pots in spring, aloe can be divided into plants, the old plants can be picked, and the tender plants on the old plants can be taken down. Prepare suitable pot soil, plant seedlings in the soil, keep ventilation after planting, avoid direct sunlight first, water properly to avoid water wet, and adapt to growth quickly.

3, aloe watering, related to the season, different times of watering in different seasons, such as watering more in summer, about 2-3 times a day, you can spray water on aloe in the morning and evening. Water can be watered once a week in spring and autumn, as little as possible in winter, but once every half month to keep the basin as dry as possible.

Aloe habit

Aloe vera is afraid of cold, because it was originally grown in a frost-free desert environment all year round. The suitable growth temperature of aloe is 20-30 degrees, and the optimum temperature at night is 14- 17 degrees. In winter, the weather is cold. When the temperature is lower than 10℃, the growth of aloe basically stops. If it is below 0 degrees, the mesophyll of aloe will wither and die.

Aloe likes light, so it needs plenty of light, especially in spring, autumn and winter. It takes at least 4 hours of light every day to make aloe leaves grow strong and dense and promote the growth of lateral buds. If there is less light, the leaves will turn yellow, not green enough, and they will grow white easily, which will reduce the ornamental value and affect the appearance.
