Aloe vera is raised like this in summer and full of side buds in autumn.

When it comes to the hottest time of the year, is the aloe vera of many flower friends not so green, with spots on the leaves, soft leaves or yellow tips, and there is no sign of new buds growing? That's because you didn't raise it right. Aloe vera is well raised in summer, the new buds are constant, and the leaves are green and thick. Follow the study, aloe vera summer growth do not have to worry, autumn full of buds is more enviable do not want!

Reasonable illumination

We all know that aloe likes the light and thinks that we can enjoy the sun in summer, but the result is either ash or wilting! Potted aloe is different from ground aloe, the root system is not very developed, when the light is too strong, the leaves are soft, the leaf tip is dry, and the color is not green. Therefore, in summer, do not raise aloe in the big sun, as far as possible in the semi-shade, or east balcony, east window, is to see the appropriate light, but not too strong light. This can ensure the normal growth of aloe, even in the hot weather above 35 degrees Celsius.

The basin soil is slightly dry.

One of the most common faults of raising aloe in summer is that it is always afraid of dying and watering it every day. As a result, aloe does not dry to death but drowns, even if it cannot be drowned. The leaves are wrinkled, soft and not full, and there are yellowish-brown patches on the leaves, which are all caused by too much watering. Aloe vera has good drought resistance. In summer, the potted soil is slightly drier, more rooted, and more prone to lateral buds. And this dry aloe leaves are fuller, which is full of gum.

Appropriate fertilization

It is unreasonable and unscientific to raise aloe vera without fertilizing, but also want others to burst lateral buds. Most plants go dormant in hot summer, but aloe doesn't, so as long as the light is right and the nutrients catch up, lateral buds will burst. For those friends who shout that their aloe vera is not giving birth to cubs all day, do you have any fertilizer? When raising aloe in summer, you can irrigate a thin organic fertilizer once a month, pouring it from the edge of the basin, not on the head. With plenty of nutrients, it is difficult for aloe not to be fat!

Clean up the old leaves

When the leaves under aloe are not too full and the color is not good-looking, they can be cleaned up in time. Or you want aloe to sprout sideways, break off a few of the old leaves below, expose the stem, dry the wound for a few days, spray a little potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the stem, spray once every ten days, spray three times in a row, and the lateral buds will grow! If you don't have potassium dihydrogen phosphate at home, you want to be a Buddhist florist. Breaking off a few old leaves below will also help to sprout new buds.

See here, flower friends know how to raise aloe in summer, right? Habitual summary: half-shade maintenance, good ventilation, less watering, thin fertilization, cleaning old leaves, can make aloe grow and sprout as usual in summer!
