Planting method of aloe vera how often is aloe watered

Aloe is a kind of plant that likes shade and is not tolerant to strong light. At present, it is distributed in many places in the market. Many people like to buy it and raise it at home, but what people want to know most is its planting method. Now let's learn some lessons together.

Planting method of aloe vera

1. Reproduction. Ramet and cuttage propagation are commonly used. Ramet, when changing the pot from March to April, the young plants with dense growth around the mother plant were removed from the pot. If the young plant has few roots, it can be inserted in the sand bed first, and then put on the basin after taking root. The cuttings are carried out after flowering from May to June. The short stem at the top is 10ml 15cm cut and dried and then planted in the sand bed. Generally, it can take root about 2 weeks after cutting.

2. Cultivation. Aloe vera grows vigorously in early spring and must be fully watered and fertilized once a month. There is a short dormant period in summer, so watering should be controlled to keep it dry. Especially the young plants just planted in pots are not resistant to high temperature and rain and should be shaded slightly. Move into indoor maintenance after autumn, it is appropriate to put sunny and ventilated places, and strictly control watering.

How often is aloe watered?

1. In spring, the watering times can be increased appropriately when the temperature is 15 meters 25 degrees Celsius. Generally, the water should be watered once every 7 days, and the principle of not drying and watering should be adopted, so as to make the basin soil wet as well as dry.

2. In summer, the temperature is high and the evaporation is large, so it needs to be watered every 3 days. In addition, aloe leaves can be sprayed with water every morning and evening, which can keep aloe leaves green and increase ornamental. Potted aloe in summer should also pay attention to less exposure to the hot sun, so as to reduce the loss of water in potted soil and plants.

3. The watering of aloe in autumn is basically similar to that in spring, and sometimes it is better to water less and make up watering after the basin soil is short of water, rather than make the basin soil be in a state of over-saturation of water for a long time, resulting in insufficient oxygen in the roots of potted aloe, difficulty in breathing and death of aloe plants.

4. When the room temperature is low in winter, water should be watered as little as possible. Generally, it can be watered once every 20 days. If necessary, foliar spraying can be used to keep the basin soil properly dry, which is beneficial to aloe plants to survive the winter safely.

Fertilization methods of Aloe vera

1. Base fertilizer. Mix the fertilizer and substrate in a ratio of about 10 ∶ 1, and then put them into a basin together. If the organic fertilizer is used as the base fertilizer, it needs to be fully fermented in advance, otherwise it will produce the phenomenon of burning seedlings and hurt aloe.

2. Topdressing. During the growing period of topdressing aloe, the fertilizer needs to be diluted first, usually with urea of no more than 2% or calcium superphosphate solution of 1%. Pay attention to the fertilizer liquid is not too thick, in order to avoid the occurrence of fertilizer damage, especially when foliar spraying extra-root fertilizer, its concentration can not exceed 1%, generally can be carried out every 2 minutes or so 30 days, aloe usually grows faster in spring, at this time can appropriately increase the number of topdressing, while the winter growth rate is slow, can be less fertilization, or even no fertilization.

Disease Control of Aloe Vera

1. Aloe rust. Rust is one of the most common diseases of aloe, which occurs when the temperature and humidity are high in summer. The source of the disease is transmitted by spores and remains on the surface of the soil for overwintering. The spores accumulate under the epidermis and appear dark brown after rupture.

Prevention and control methods: need careful maintenance, pay attention to observation, if a disease occurs, remove the diseased residual leaves of aloe in time, and burn them.

2. Aloe leaf blight. Leaf blight mostly occurs in the south and spreads through water or insects. Its symptoms include dark brown spots at the leaf tip, then gradually expand, dry up, the disease spots shrink, and later produce arranged small black spots.

Prevention and control methods: pay attention to observation and control the spread of diseases. Plant more varieties with strong disease resistance, such as Chinese aloe, Curacao and so on. Aloe is not cold-resistant, so we should pay attention to the cooperation of fertilizer and water to enhance its disease resistance. Pot chemical control, 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder 600 times solution.

Aloe planting method is still very simple, after planting need to strengthen the management of water, in different seasons, the watering method and quantity are different, we must pay attention. Aloe also needs to strengthen the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, only do these well in order to ensure its growth.
