How to propagate Aloe barbadensis

The leaves of Aloe arborescens plants are thick and succulent, and have efficient effects on stomach, intestine and metabolism, so they are often used in family pot culture. So, how does aloe vera reproduce?

First, how does aloe vera reproduce?

1. Ramet: the most suitable split time of Aloe arborescens is in spring and autumn. When the temperature is 20: 25 ℃, the new plant is sprouted, the plant is pulled out of the soil, the root soil is removed, the seedling is cut off from the female parent and planted in the soil with sterilized blade, and watered thoroughly, it can take root and survive in about one month.

2. Cutting: aloe cuttings choose sunny weather to cut aloe from the center of the stem or cut off 8cm buds, peel off the leaves at the lower 5cm and put them in a cool and ventilated place. After they are slightly dry, they can be inserted into the soil and placed in a warm place protected from wind and rain. Pour water to make them take root, and the roots can sprout and survive in about 1 month.

2. Culture methods of aloe vera arborescens

1. Basin soil

Aquaculture basin soil should have water retention, fertilizer conservation and air permeability, ph between 6.8and 7.0. generally, humus soil, garden soil and river sand should be prepared at 2:2:1, then disinfected with 40% formalin, sealed with plastic film for two days, and then dried.

2. Upper basin

It is better to serve the pot in spring and summer, and the indoor temperature is 15 to 28 degrees Celsius. Put some broken tiles at the bottom of the basin to facilitate drainage and ventilation, then fill in the prepared basin soil, select strong seedlings, put the aloe moss into the basin to stretch the root system, and lift the aloe seedlings up after filling, compaction, righting, and pouring through water.

3. Slow seedling

Special attention should be paid to slow seedlings, no more watering or fertilizing before they turn green, otherwise the roots will rot. Just on the pot of aloe vera can not be exposed to direct sunlight, this period should often spray foliar water, can speed up the speed of turning green and rooting.

4. Fertilization

Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, boron, copper, zinc and organic fertilizer are needed, usually poured with liquid fertilizer or foliar spraying, fertilized when spring and autumn grow rapidly, once every half month to one month, but should be stopped during the dormant period from November to March of the following year.

5. Watering

Although it is resistant to drought, it should be properly watered in the morning and evening, usually once every 15 to 20 days. The principle is "dry and wet, dry and thoroughly". In summer, you can spray water on the leaves of Reed moss, keep the leaves green and prevent the hot sun from being exposed to the sun.

6. Change the basin

Generally, the basin should be changed in about two years, and it is best to change the basin in spring. Put aloe vera together with soil mass into a larger new basin, then add new soil, compacted and watered thoroughly, put it in a semi-shady place, and then move to the sun after slow seedling to maintain normally.

Aloe arborescens is not resistant to water and moisture, and the soil is too wet to rot the roots, so when choosing basin soil, we must choose loose and breathable sand.
