Culture method of Aloe barbadensis

Aloe arborescens is mainly distributed in Africa and is widely planted in families as green, radiation-proof and green potted plants. Many people plant one at home. So what are the breeding methods of aloe vera?

1. Potted soil: the potted soil of Aloe arborescens should have water retention, fertilizer retention and air permeability, ph value is between 6.8 and 7.0. generally, humus soil is added with pastoral soil and river sand (proportion 2:2:1), then disinfected with 40% formalin, sealed with plastic film for two days, and then dried in the sun.

2, basin: aloe vera arborescens is better in spring and summer, 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: aloe tree culture should pay special attention to slow seedling, before its return to green, can not be more watering, can not be fertilized, otherwise the root 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: the normal growth of Aloe arborescens needs nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, boron, copper, zinc and organic fertilizer, which is generally poured with liquid fertilizer or foliar spraying, and fertilized when it grows fast in spring and autumn, once every half a month to one month. However, fertilization should be stopped during the dormant period from November to March of the following year.

5. Watering: although Aloe arborescens has strong resistance 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: aloe vera is generally cultivated for about two years to change the basin, and it is best to change the basin in spring, put the aloe vera together with the soil mass into a larger new basin, then add new soil, compacted and watered thoroughly, and put it in a semi-shady place. after slow seedling and then moved to the sun can be normal maintenance.

7. Diseases and insect pests: aloe vera arborescens is not prone to insect pests and rarely occurs diseases. However, the environment is not good, black spot and other diseases will occur in its leaves. Spraying 77% of the wettable powder at the seedling stage, or 1000 times of the 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder, is sprayed once every 15 to 20 days and 3 to 4 times in a year.

Aloe arborescens is relatively easy to grow, the requirements for the growth environment is not too high, very suitable for family planting, and contains a lot of aloe gel, but also can green the family, anti-radiation, absorption of formaldehyde and other functions.
