How to raise Aloe Vera Culture methods and matters needing attention

Aloe is a kind of ornamental and practical plant, which can be seen in many places in our country at present. Many people like to buy it and then go home for breeding, but some people will have a lot of problems in the process of aloe breeding because of improper methods.

How to keep aloe vera

1. Soil: aloe grows in the soil with good air permeability and good water permeability, which has a high organic content and a PH value of 6.5-7.2.

2. Lighting: aloe likes light, tolerates semi-shaded environment, and avoids 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.

Culture method of aloe

1. Selection of potted soil. The soil cultivated with aloe had better choose the good performance of drainage, water retention, air permeability and fertilizer storage, and the soil with poor drainage permeability could easily cause root respiration obstruction and plant rotting root necrosis. Aloe soil is generally used, humus + pastoral soil + river sand, where to find the proportion of 2:2:1 to prepare. The basin that grows aloe had better choose mud basin, porcelain basin and plastic basin air permeability is poor, had better not use. After changing the basin, soak it with water, lest the wall of the basin is semi-dry and semi-wet, and the plant can not take the basin well.

2. Temperature requirement. Aloe vera originally grows in a frost-free desert environment all the year round and is more afraid of cold. The most suitable growth temperature is 5-15 ℃ and the humidity is 5%-45%. When the room temperature dropped to 5 ℃, Luhun would stop reverse growth, and at 0 ℃, the growth of aloe would be abnormal.

3. Watering method. Aloe vera is called an "immortal plant", so not watering generally has little effect, but it will cause rotten roots if long-term stagnant water in the soil. In general, water is watered every 5-7 days in spring, once every 2-3 days in summer, to avoid hot sun exposure and water volatilization, and once every 5-7 days in autumn. In winter, the temperature is above 15 ℃ and it is watered every 15-20 days.

4. Lighting demand. Aloe needs plenty of sunlight to grow well. In addition to the newly planted aloe, can only see the morning sun, other time to bask in the sun, the sun is sufficient, the better the growth.

Matters needing attention of aloe

Aloe needs plenty of sunlight to grow. it should be noted that newly planted aloe should not bask in the sun, it is best to see the sun only in the morning, and then gradually increase the light after 10 days. Family potted plants grow healthily if they are placed on the balcony or outdoor windowsill in spring and autumn to receive direct sunlight; move to a well-ventilated semi-shady place in summer; and put in a place with sufficient indoor light in winter at a room temperature of not less than 10 ℃.

The causes and solutions of black spots in aloe vera

1. Reason: aloe is easily infected with black spot, which is caused by fungi, and these black spots will gradually expand, cross-infect, and even spread and penetrate the whole leaf in serious cases. The specific symptoms are waterlogged plaque first, the color is black and greenish, and then gradually expand into a round or irregular shape. The lesion is sunken in the center, grayish brown. The disease spot can gradually penetrate to both sides of the leaf, but without perforation.

2. Solution: remove the diseased tissue to prevent the spread of infection. Reduce the humidity, especially after the rain should be timely drainage, in order to reduce the incidence and severity. Spray carbendazim or chlorothalonil wettable powder for prevention and control.

In fact, the cultivation of aloe is not difficult, mainly to understand its growth habits, and then the proportion of the soil. Aloe needs to strengthen the management of fertilizer and water in the later stage of culture, too much or too little may lead to the death of aloe, there are some detailed introduction above, you can learn more about it.
