Cultivation methods and precautions of potted aloe (cultivation steps of novice aloe)

Pot friends who like to raise flowers know that raising some beautiful flowers and plants at home can not only beautify the home environment, but also purify the air quality. In fact, some flowers and plants have other uses in life, such as keeping pots of aloe at home. While improving the environment, it also has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials and diminishing inflammation. If you are accidentally burned or bitten by mosquitoes, you can break a piece of aloe to wipe the wound, which can have a good recovery effect. Today, I will introduce some matters needing attention in raising aloe potted plants at home.

1, like warm and afraid of cold.

Aloe likes warm environment, and the suitable growth temperature is about 20℃. Generally, the lowest culture temperature is about 10℃, and the growth has basically stopped when it is lower than 10℃. When the temperature is lower than 0℃, it is easy to form freezing damage, and in severe cases, it will lead to the death of the whole plant. Therefore, aloe potted plants should be moved to a warm room in time after winter, and it is best to put them on a sunny platform facing south for maintenance.

2. Suitable soil for growth

Family potted aloe should use loose, breathable and well-drained sandy soil. If the loess with high viscosity is planted, it is not conducive to root respiration and leads to poor plant growth. Culture soil can be mixed with humus soil, garden soil, coarse sand or cinder.

3, avoid the basin soil is too wet

Aloe vera is native to tropical desert, and cactus plants are both called "drought immortal plants". Therefore, you don't need to water it too often. It can store a lot of water in its succulent stems and leaves. It doesn't matter even if you water it after a few days. On the contrary, long-term watering can easily cause root rot. Usually watering can master the principle of "seeing dry and seeing wet". In winter, plants grow slowly and need less water, so the basin soil must not be too wet to avoid waterlogging and freezing injury.

4. The demand of plants for nutrients

Plants cannot grow without nutrition. In order to make plants grow strong, we should keep sufficient nutrients during the plant growth period. We can apply fermented cake fertilizer once every half month, or we can often bury a few cooked soybeans in the pot soil, which can basically meet the nutrients needed for plant growth.

5, plant requirements for light

Aloe vera is a light-loving plant. In the case of sufficient light, its stems and leaves are full and green in color. If there is a lack of sunshine for a long time, plants will grow small and thin, and they are prone to diseases. Therefore, except in summer when the light is too strong, we should pay attention to shading and put it in sunny places in other seasons, so that plants can grow healthier.

Aloe vera is a very good ornamental plant. If you have children at home, you can consider raising several pots of aloe. After being bitten by mosquitoes in summer, you can easily break off a piece of aloe and wipe it, and the itching will disappear immediately. Like a friend can try!
