Amp;quot; Natural beautician & quot; Aloe Vera how to grow quickly? Detailed explanation of culture methods and matters needing attention

We all know that aloe has many functions, not only has ornamental value, but also can be beautified and eaten. Aloe is a "natural beautician". Planting aloe indoors can absorb harmful gases and purify the indoor air, so how can aloe grow well? The following editor will give you a specific introduction to the breeding methods of aloe and matters needing attention.

First, how to raise aloe

Aloe is the best plant to raise, dry and watered, this is a lazy plant. Aloe vera vitality is very strong, extremely easy to raise, its growth characteristics are like the sun, but afraid of the scorching sun; like moist, but avoid stagnant water; resistant to high temperature, afraid of cold.

1. Reduce watering and water once or twice a week.

2. Don't let the leaves touch the soil.

3. Anti-freezing.

4. Let aloe bask in the sun, not in the sun.

Second, the culture method of aloe.

(1) specific cultivation of aloe vera

Soil and fertilizer: the ideal aloe planting soil is swamp soil and sand, with rotten leaf soil, grass ash and shell slices added. Clay is not good for drainage and should be avoided as far as possible.

If there is fertilizer in the soil, there is no need for fertilizer at all.

Watering aloe: when planting aloe, the most important thing is not to have too much water, otherwise it will dilute the active ingredients and, in serious cases, fester the roots.

Spring is usually watered every 5 days; in hot summer, water is watered every day when the sun goes down; the method of watering in autumn is the same as in spring; aloe vera almost enters a dormant state in winter, as long as the soil on the surface is wet.

Aloe overwintering method: aloe safe overwintering temperature is above 5 degrees. Below zero, the water in the leaves will soon be frozen. At this time, it is the end of its life.

(2) curing methods of aloe vera

1. Environmental requirements of aloe culture.

Soil selection:

Aloe likes to grow in loose soil with good drainage and not easy to consolidate. General soil can be mixed with some gravel ash, if you can add rotten leaf grass ash and so on.

It should be noted that only the soil with good drainage and permeability can be used, otherwise it will cause root respiration obstruction and rotten root necrosis, but excessive sandy soil often causes the loss of water and nutrients, resulting in poor growth of aloe.

Temperature requirements:

Aloe vera is afraid of cold. It grows in a frost-free environment for a long time. Stop growing at about 5 ℃, at 0 ℃, the life process will be hindered; if it is lower than 0 degrees, it will be frostbitten, and the most suitable growth temperature is 15 to 5 degrees and the humidity is 45% to 5%.

2. Fertilizer and water management of aloe culture.

Fertilizer is indispensable to any plant. Aloe needs not only nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also some trace elements.

In order to ensure that aloe is a green natural plant, try to use fermented organic fertilizer, cake fertilizer, chicken manure, compost can, maggot worm manure is more suitable for growing aloe.

Like all plants, aloe also needs water, but it is also most afraid of stagnant water. In rainy and humid seasons or in the case of poor drainage, leaves are easy to shrink, branches and roots are easy to rot, and even die. There is a short dormant period in summer, so it is necessary to control watering and keep it dry.

In particular, just potted young plants are not resistant to high temperature and rain, should be slightly shaded, and so moved into indoor maintenance after autumn, it is best to put sufficient sunshine and ventilation, and watering should also be strictly controlled.

3. Pot cultivation of aloe vera.

For the preparation of potted soil, the root system of potted aloe is limited by containers, so it can only maintain life activities in limited potted soil. It is generally required that the soil of aloe is loose and fat. It is necessary to have good drainage, fertilizer conservation, ventilation and other properties, so that the crust on the surface after irrigation is not sticky when wet and not cracked when dry, and can maintain proper water, fertilizer and rich nutrients.

The raw materials prepared by basin soil can be selected from a wide range of sources, such as low-cost, disease-free, non-polluting substances and materials, and local materials can be used locally according to specific conditions. Potted aloe can not only use flowerpots, other containers can also be selected according to local conditions, such as boxes, baskets, buckets and so on. Had better use mud basin, should not use porcelain basin and plastic basin, because air permeability is poor, easy to rot root.

Planting method, planting period in early May is better, spring or autumn is basically OK. Care should be taken to avoid wet rainy seasons or midsummer temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. If the purpose of planting is to appreciate flowers and give birth, you should choose aloe vera with thick and strong stems. If aloe is obtained by ramet, the thick seedlings with roots in spring can be selected.

Temperature, light, aloe is native to tropical and desert areas, therefore, leaves have a good water storage function, drought does not die, drought resistance, fear of stagnant water, like light, fear of dampness, resistance to high temperature, fear of cold.

Put in the sun for two months will not die, in the high temperature exposure can still survive, but stop growing, and in the negative degree will suffer frost damage. However, Chinese aloe seedlings do not like light, especially afraid of strong light. It is best to put it in a place with good outdoor ventilation and light, but it should be properly shaded in hot summer and should be placed in a place higher than 5 degrees sunny in winter to pass the winter safely.

4. The propagation method of aloe.

The propagation of aloe is commonly used in ramet and cuttage propagation. In the split method, when changing the pot from March to April, the young plants with dense growth around the mother plant will be 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. Cuttings are carried out after flowering from May to June, cut the top short stem 10 to 15 cm, and so cut short to dry and then cut in the sand bed, generally about 2 weeks after cutting can take root.

(1) branching propagation of aloe vera.

Two methods can be used in the propagation of aloe vera. One is to grow the sucking buds from the stem base or root of aloe vera, and the young plants with young roots are peeled off directly from the mother and then transplanted to the nursery or production field.

Another method is to separate the seedlings germinated from the mother plants with ramet cutters, but do not pull them out, but still leave the seedlings in place, so that they can grow for a period of time, generally about half a month, to form independent roots and reach a completely autotrophic state, and then transplant the seedlings with soil, plant them in the field and water them again in time.

(2) cutting propagation of aloe vera.

Aloe cutting propagation is to separate and propagate new aloe plants by making use of the characteristics that adventitious roots can occur at the lower end of the main stem and lateral branches of aloe without roots, which is especially suitable for aloe species and varieties with developed ramet and easy elongation of stem nodes.

After the terminal buds were removed, the lateral buds developed rapidly, and many branches could be used as cutting propagation materials. Aloe cuttage mainly uses stem cutting and root cutting, but leaf cutting is difficult to succeed. Aloe cutting can be carried out in the open field, or in a greenhouse or greenhouse.

Matters needing attention in aloe culture

(1) choose flowerpots

The process of removing aloe from the ground or in a seedling container and putting it into a flowerpot is called the upper pot. Before putting on the pot, you should choose a suitable flowerpot according to the size of aloe seedlings. If the aloe seedling is big, and the basin is small, it will limit the growth of aloe. If the aloe seedling is small and the basin is big, then the head is light and the foot is heavy, lack of beauty. In addition, because the seedling is small and big, it does not dry after each watering, which is easy to cause rotten roots.

(2) selection of seedlings

Before installing the pot, there is also a very important work, that is, to select all the aloe seedlings, it is necessary to select healthy aloe seedlings, whose morphological characteristics should be short and thick leaves, stout stems, dark green color, and more than 4 self-rooting.

(3) change the basin

Separate the thickness of the soil, take out the aloe, peel off the soil carefully, and be careful not to hurt the roots. Cut off unnecessary roots, and other roots can be shortened by 1/3 in length. First put a metal net on the bottom of the basin to cover the opening of the hole and put the aloe vera on it, straighten the aloe vera and pour it into the fine soil. At the same time, press and fix the mud next to the plant, leaving no space between the soil and the root. After the soil of the flowerpot is pressed, the difference between the height and the edge of the flowerpot is about 2 cm. Finally, slowly pour water into the pot, keep it in a semi-shady place, slow the seedlings and move to the sun for maintenance.

Aloe is a "natural beautician", many people want to raise aloe at home, so how can aloe grow quickly? The above introduces the breeding methods of aloe and some matters needing attention, of course, it is more important to pay attention to, only careful cultivation, watering with love, can raise aloe or any kind of plant.
