How does aloe leaf dry do?

Many flower lovers like to cultivate aloe, because aloe is not only very easy to breed, but also very useful. Aloe is resistant to drought and doesn't need us to think about watering it all the time. Aloe vera can nourish beauty, folklore can also use aloe vera to smear when scalded, can eliminate pain.

However, although aloe is very easy to breed, it is inevitable that some flower friends will raise some unexpected problems in the process of maintenance. For example, rotten roots, such as withered leaves and so on. So what about the withered aloe leaves? Today, Hua'ergu will come to learn with you the reasons for the withering of aloe leaves and the solutions.

The common causes of leaf dryness of aloe are: excessive light, potassium deficiency, improper transplanting, serious soil consolidation and diseases and insect pests. Let's introduce each reason and countermeasure in detail below.

1. the light is too strong

The growth of aloe vera likes to grow in a semi-shady environment. Growing in a semi-shady environment can make stems, strong leaves and fat, green all the year round. Aloe vera, which has been exposed to the sun for a long time, generally grows thinner and has yellow leaves. If you experience a long period of drought when you are exposed, it is more likely that the leaves will be withered.

Therefore, we'd better put aloe in a semi-shady environment with sufficient scattered light. If we are exposed to light unilaterally, we can rotate the flowerpot regularly in order to keep the plant upright. The Lignification of aloe vera cultured in semi-overcast environment is slow and its growth is relatively thick. The Lignification of dew culture is very fast, and it is easy to be withered and chapped when you encounter strong light when you are short of water.

2. Potassium deficiency

The lower part of the aloe leaves are dried up, while the tender leaves are not dried up, which is generally caused by the lack of potassium. If we fail to replenish potassium fertilizer in time, aloe will slowly grow and become disabled.

Therefore, when we find these problems, we can add some potassium in time. If the basin soil has been used for two or three years, we must change it in time. It is suggested that we should change the soil once every two years at the latest. When aloe grows bigger, the flowerpot can also be changed to a larger one.

3. Transplanting and changing pots

When aloe grows to a certain year, we need to transplant it to change the soil. When we change the basin, we should be careful not to hurt too many roots. It is recommended that we remove some of the outer soil and old roots when changing the basin. Keep some of the soil wrapped inside as much as possible to prevent the roots from being damaged too seriously, otherwise it will lead to the problem of drying up and taking the basin for a long time.

Therefore, we try to use hands or blunt tools to change the soil of aloe vera instead of cutting directly with a knife, and gently wipe off some of the outer soil. Then on the basin, pay attention to the bottom layer of soil, and then put it on top of the soil to set the position, and then fill the surrounding soil can be.

4. Soil consolidation

Many aloe vera cultivated by flower friends will encounter the phenomenon of soil hardening, because if there are no other weeds around the aloe flowerpot, the use of pure garden soil will lead to the phenomenon of hardening, which is easy to occur after watering more times. After soil consolidation, it will lead to poor water permeability and air permeability, which can easily lead to the drying of aloe.

Therefore, we can loosen the soil of aloe vera regularly, and try to avoid hurting its roots when loosening the soil. usually there are weeds growing on them, so we don't need to pull them out immediately, we can prune them to prevent weeds from growing too fast to consume nutrients. Pruning will leave the roots to continue to grow new seedlings, the stem will slowly become thicker, we can pull it out, can also play the effect of loosening the soil.

These are the reasons for the withering of aloe leaves introduced to you by Hua'ergu, as well as some treatment skills, one of which is not mentioned is to prevent diseases, diseases and insect pests will also lead to the phenomenon of withered aloe leaves. However, potted aloe is relatively rare. In addition, too much watering leads to rotten roots of aloe and withered leaves. To water aloe, we would rather let it dry than water the flowerpot. We often see that the death of aloe is caused by flower friends watering it too hard.
