Can aloe be cultured in water?

Aloe is a succulent plant of Liliaceae, which is suitable for hydroponic culture. Hydroponic aloe can see the white roots swimming in the water through the transparent glass container, which greatly improves the ornamental value.

Aloe hydroponic culture method

1. Sunshine

It needs to be placed in a cool place after it has just been planted, and never let the sun shine directly on it. In order for its roots to grow normally, we can cover the lower half of its container with a black cloth. After the root grows well, you can slowly let it enjoy the sunshine, not too long at first, and then slowly lengthen it.

2. Change the nutrient solution regularly

It can not be added before it has grown a good root. after it grows its hydroponic root, it is almost adapted to the hydroponic environment, and only then can we add nutrient solution to it. But then it will be replaced every half a month or a month.

3. Summer maintenance

In summer, because the high temperature will put it into a dormant state, it is best to move it to a semi-cool place at this time.

4. Winter maintenance

In winter, as long as the indoor temperature is above 5 degrees, it can pass the winter safely. But it needs to be put indoors with more light. If you want it to bloom as soon as possible, you can adjust the room temperature to more than 10.

Why can't the Queen of Aloe Vera be cultured in water?

The vitality of the aloe queen is relatively tenacious, but when raising the aloe queen, water is a problem worth paying attention to. Aloe queen's growth needs water, but not too much water, because aloe queen is a very drought-tolerant plant, too much water is easy to accumulate water, stagnant water will cause rotting roots and other serious problems, which is very disadvantageous to the growth of aloe queen.

If you carry out water culture, the aloe queen will be in a very humid environment, which is not very beneficial to the growth of the aloe queen, so generally do not carry on the hydroponic aloe queen.

Growth habits of aloe

1. Soil: aloe has good water and air permeability, high content of organic matter and pH value between 6.5 and 7.2.

2. Lighting: like light, withstand semi-shade, avoid direct sunlight and excessive shade.

3. Temperature: the suitable environmental temperature for growth is 20-30 ℃, and the best temperature at night is 14-17 ℃. Below 10 ℃, the growth basically stopped, and below 0 ℃, all the aloe mesophyll wilted and died after freezing.

4, moisture: aloe has a strong ability to resist drought, aloe from the soil can dry for several months not to die. Aloe vera needs sufficient water during its growing period, but it is not resistant to waterlogging.

5. Ecological environment: aloe's ecological environment (air, water, soil, etc.) can not be polluted, pay attention to ventilation.

6. Aloe needs not only nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also some trace elements. In order to ensure that aloe is a green natural plant, we should try to use fermented organic fertilizer, cake fertilizer, chicken manure and compost. Earthworm manure is more suitable for planting aloe.

Aloe vera is generally propagated asexually by transplanting seedlings or cutting. The speed of asexual reproduction is fast, and the excellent characteristics of the variety can be maintained stably.

To sum up, aloe can be cultivated not only in soil but also in water. Some friends think that soil culture will dirty the room, so you can choose hydroponic aloe, which not only does not dirty the room, but also looks more beautiful and clean.
