Planting method of "Magic Plant" Aloe Vera

Aloe vera, also known as aloe vera, aloe vera, etc., is widely used in food, beauty, health care, medicine and other fields, and is now widely planted. So, what are the planting methods of aloe? Let's get to know it together.

1. Land selection and preparation

Aloe is suitable for planting in loose and fertile soils with good drainage. The soil of the planting land can be alkaline, but must not be acidic. Soils with poor drainage and easy consolidation are generally not suitable for the growth of aloe. Before soil preparation, it is necessary to sprinkle sufficient organic fertilizer on the soil, or manure and urea, and then turn the land deeply to flatten the land without stagnant water. The ditches are opened according to the width of about 1.5 meters, and the ditches blend with each other, which is conducive to drainage and drainage.

2. Scientific planting

Aloe is a kind of asexual reproduction plant, so when planting, we usually use split-plant propagation. First of all, we need to buy relatively robust aloe seedlings for planting. If it is not the first time to plant aloe, you can go directly to the aloe planting ground to plant some of the smaller aloe seedlings propagated by aloe. Planting is best selected before and after rainy days, so that cultured aloe is particularly easy to survive.

3. Reasonable close planting

We all know that aloe vera has strong fecundity, so it is necessary to control the density of aloe vera when planting, and every 3 aloe plants also need a certain space after they grow up. Generally speaking, they are planted according to the distance of 40 to 50 centimeters per plant and the density of 60 to actual centimeters per row. Check whether dead seeds appear in the field about a week after planting. But if there is, it is necessary to replenish the seedlings in time.

4. Fertilizer and water management

To plant aloe, fertilizer is necessary. We need to apply fertilizer according to the growth of aloe. If the leaves of aloe are dry, have no moisture, look particularly old and hard, then we need to fertilize reasonably according to the planting density. Generally, urea or feces and urine are mainly irrigated or applied in holes. Aloe needs less water. If there is too much water in the field, it will cause the roots of aloe to rot, so we should drain the water in time, usually watering once every seven to ten days.

5. Ploughing and weeding

Aloe is suitable for growing in loose soil, so in the process of planting, we should often loosen the soil and clean up the weeds in the field, which can not only enhance the permeability of the soil, but also promote the absorption of nutrients.

6. Rational harvesting

We usually have to wait for aloe vera to grow for a year before picking aloe leaves for sale. if we don't want to harvest aloe a year later, we should at least wait until aloe grows twelve leaves. Generally, we should harvest leaves that are fuller, smoother and more transparent, so that the price will be higher.
