First, how can aloe be more exuberant?

1. Principles of aloe culture

Aloe, native to Africa and the Mediterranean, is a drought-tolerant plant, but it is not resistant to waterlogging, so it is better to dry than damp when breeding.

(2) being warm and not cold-resistant

Similarly, aloe can grow healthily in a warm and sunny environment, and is prone to rot and dryness in a cold environment.

2. Daily nursing of aloe culture.

(1) soil preparation

It is best to cultivate aloe vera with special soil, which can be mixed with some river sand, plant ash and garden soil, and shell slices or bone powder can be added appropriately if possible.

(2) flowerpot selection

Aloe vera is usually placed in a place where astigmatism is sufficient and there is no direct sunlight. When the weather is hot, it can be watered 2-3 times a week. When the weather is cold, it can be watered about 20 days, usually once a week. Aloe does not need much fertilizer, so spraying liquid fertilizer once a month can promote its growth.

What are the matters needing attention in winter maintenance?
