The ruined plants of the novice gardeners who killed aloe.

Case 1:

The florist below doesn't know how to grow plants, but only loves aloe. This pot is bought and put next to the computer, accompanied day and night, and watered less according to the instructions of the florist.

However, some time ago, the leaves turned yellow, and she thought that aloe might be thirsty, so she gave it a glass of water, which became like this in less than two days. I'm sad.

Death analysis of aloe vera:

Netizens praised her as an "expert at mending knives". When aloe was yellow, she was already terminally ill. She had been raised next to the computer for a long time and had never seen the sun. Ye Huang had not seen light for a long time, and the leaves had softened.

At this time, instead of giving it sunshine, it was watered, which successfully ended the life of aloe quickly, and it was really difficult to have such a master on the stall.

Case 2:

The following flower friend is often on business trips. I heard that aloe vera can be left unwatered for a long time, so you can see that the following aloe vera is dry and rotten.

When I came back from a business trip, I accidentally touched the leaves. Aloe sprayed a mouthful of brown water on him before he died. I felt that aloe was so sad!

Analysis of withered and rotten stems of aloe

Raised in a confined space, there is no sunshine, poor air circulation, such an environment is fatal to aloe, because it likes plenty of sunshine, needs ventilation, the basin soil is slightly dry, but not too dry.

III. Questions often asked by flower friends in raising aloe

1. Flower friend asked: is sunshine necessary for aloe?

Aloe is a tropical desert plant, of course, it needs sunlight most. Some flower friends praise it as a "cheap bone". If it is too doting, it can not be well nourished. Except for the extreme summer heat, there is sufficient light in other seasons. If the aloe leaves are brown or red, it is too sunny and needs to be moved to scattered light or a little shade.

2. The flower friend asked: my aloe leaf has turned red, the top of the leaf has become brown, and it has shrunk a little. Will it die?

Turning red sometimes means that plants get too much sunlight. Make sure it is well drained if it is in a pot, but don't let it stay too dry. It's not a cactus.

The aloe vera that turns red in this way proves that it sees too much light, and the leaves do not have enough chlorophyll, so it should be slightly shaded or moved to a place of scattered light. make sure that the soil drains well and does not let it dry for too long. The basin soil is completely dry (the soil is 3cm dry below).

3. The flower friend asked: why do my aloe leaves curl towards the center of the leaves?

This plant doesn't get enough water. When the leaves curl inward, the plant wants to live and absorbs water from its own leaves.

This is because aloe vera does not get enough water. When aloe leaves curl inward, aloe vera will desperately absorb water from the leaves if it wants to survive. The leaves will curl inward because they have no water and are not full.

Pay attention to check whether the basin soil is hardened, loosen the soil properly, do not let the basin soil too dry, slightly dry.

4. Flower friend asked: the center of my aloe leaf seems to be a little yellow and a little rotten. How should I save it?

This is the bad situation that aloe vera is overwatered. The stem in the center of the leaf is rotten, and the rotten rhizome will slowly spread to the leaves. This is basically hopeless. If the heart of the leaf just begins to turn yellow, it can keep the potted soil dry and see the light properly. There is still a chance to recover, and now the rotten stem is hopeless.

5. Flower friend asked: what type of soil should aloe plants be planted in?

Aloe's leaves are full of water, and it is also a succulent plant, so it likes loose sandy soil. It can use rotten leaf soil + fine sand at 2:1, or mix with garden soil + fine sand at 2:1. If you need to buy your own soil, you can mix peat soil + perlite / fine sand at 1:1.

6. Flower friend asked: my aloe vera has grown for many years and is already very old. the stem has become Lignification, and the stem has become white, very dry, and often peeling off. Is this normal?

After aloe has been raised for many years, the stem will become woody, and the lower leaves will wither and fall off, which is normal. The small buds from the rhizome can be used for ramet propagation.
