The old florist summed up three skills of domestic aloe, which can make the leaves straight and thick, and the pots grow and burst.

1. Fertilization

Aloe likes fertilizer, in addition to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, but also needs other micro elements, if you simply apply some inorganic fertilizer, although it will make it grow very fast, but in the past, the state of the whole bead is not very good, the leaves are not strong enough, and there is no gloss, the degree of appreciation is not high, it is best to use organic fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer, earthworm manure, fermented sesame sauce residue, etc., can make it grow better.

2. Watering

Aloe likes water, is also resistant to drought, leaves the basin soil for several months and does not die, it can grow quickly during the growing period, but avoid waterlogging, so watering should keep in mind that it is dry and wet, and the principle of watering thoroughly should be kept in mind. if there are signs of white and dry cracks in the basin soil, it can be watered thoroughly in summer. in summer, soaking method can be used to water it, put it in a shallow basin, and the water enters the basin soil through the holes at the bottom, spraying water on the leaves as little as possible. The flow of water will accumulate in the head along the leaves, and failure to evaporate in time will cause the leaves to rot.

3. Pruning

In the process of aloe maintenance, the dried and rotten leaves of the yellow leaves should be pruned in time, otherwise they can easily be transmitted to healthy leaves, and the lowermost leaves of the plant will slowly grow old and cannot be seen on the surface, which is not much different from other leaves, but this kind of leaves will consume nutrients excessively and inhibit the germination of new buds and the growth of leaves. This kind of leaves should be pruned in time, you can see the back of the leaf head. Those with yellow and black spots should be trimmed off, and the cut wounds can be sterilized with alcohol or lime.
