The leaves of aloe turn brown and red and can be solved in this way.

The main problem of most people raising potted aloe is overwatering or lack of light. As long as we do these two points well, we can avoid most of the problems. Below I will mention some common problems in the conservation of potted aloe and how to deal with them.

1. Rotten root of aloe

If you find that the stem of aloe at home becomes mushy, it will be soft when you touch it. It means that aloe vera is overwatered, or the soil water causes root rot. If the root base is rotten and most of the stems are still healthy, you can try to save aloe vera.

It can be dug up, cut off the rotten part of the bottom of the trunk, wash and soak the carbendazim solution, and then re-cultivate it with new soil and new pots.

2. The leaves of aloe turn brown

If you find that the leaves of aloe vera turn brown, you must first check its stem. If it is still relatively solid and healthy, and the leaves feel hard, it is proved that it is not rotten. This situation is generally caused by excessive light. Potted aloe vera can be moved to a scattered light and maintained in a bright place for a period of time, and it will slowly recover.

If the leaves and stems feel soft and look mushy, then it proves that they are overwatered, there are signs of decay, or it is possible that the temperature is too low and frostbite. In this case, the diseased leaves should be cut off in time, and the wound should not be stained with water. As soon as you get to a warm and ventilated place, slowly recover.

3. The leaves at the bottom of aloe become dry.

If it is a newly transplanted potted aloe, it may be consuming the bottom leaves to take root and sprout, just cut off the withered leaves.

If it is aloe, which has been cultivated for a long time, the bottom leaves are dry, it may be that there is something wrong with the root system, the soil is hardened or the supply is insufficient, so change the basin in time and cut off the withered root system.

Aloe is a very popular indoor potted plant, which can be kept for decades without dying. It is very easy to breed. To maintain properly, aloe can grow lateral buds continuously, and the growth rate is relatively fast. Pay attention to proper light in order to grow better.

4. Benefits of raising aloe vera

Aloe vera can treat mild burns and scalds, just take out the gel from the leaves and apply it to the wound.

Another advantage of aloe is that it can purify the air at home. There are too many harmful toxins in the air in my city, and brown spots will grow on the leaves of aloe.

The maintenance of aloe vera does not need to be managed often, and even can be ignored frequently, but it can also keep growing healthily. To the following points, your aloe vera can maintain a faster growth state.

5. Proper watering

Watering is the key to the conservation of potted aloe vera. The most common mistake made by beginners is overwatering. It is not easy to die if the soil is dry. Regular water supply is the number one killer of aloe vera.

Aloe vera naturally grows in the desert, its leaves can retain water, can tolerate no water for a long time, if overwatered, it is easy to cause root rot, and eventually lead to plant rot.

Before watering aloe vera, check whether the soil is completely dry. You can even insert your finger into the soil by 3cm to 5cm to make sure the soil is completely dry and avoid moisture. Aloe falls into dormancy in winter and should not be watered when the temperature is low.

6. Proper lighting

The second key to the conservation of aloe is sunshine and temperature. If there is enough light, aloe can grow better. If there is not enough light, it is easy to grow, and the leaves will grow very weakly. Indoor maintenance is best placed on the windowsill facing south and east, which can appropriately supplement the lighting.

7. Potted soil selection

The best way to raise aloe is to use sandy soil with good drainage, so it won't let the soil accumulate water. Potted aloe can choose sandy soil. I like to mix perlite, sand and some potted soil to ensure air permeability and drainage, which is beneficial to plant growth.

8. Pay attention to fertilization

Aloe's demand for fertilizer is very low, but it can be given once or twice a month in spring and summer. I suggest organic fertilizer, not chemical fertilizer. General-purpose organic liquid fertilizer is best for aloe.
