Growth habits of Aloe barbadensis

The soil with good water and air permeability, high content of organic matter and pH value of 6.5-7.2 is better for Aloe vera. Like light, tolerate half-shade, avoid direct sunlight and excessive shade, the suitable growth environment temperature is 20: 30 ℃, and the best temperature at night is 14: 17 ℃. Below 10 ℃, the growth basically stopped, and below 0 ℃, all the aloe mesophyll wilted and died after freezing. Aloe vera has a strong ability to resist drought. Aloe vera can dry for several months without dying. It needs sufficient water during the growing period, but it is not resistant to waterlogging. But the breeding ecological environment can not be polluted, pay attention to ventilation.

Propagation method of Aloe barbadensis

1. Ramet: the 2-year-old plant of Aloe vera can grow 10-15 tillers in one year. When the tiller grows to 4-5 leaflets and 3-5 small roots, it can be separated from the mother plant and planted in the field. Ramet propagation can be carried out in the whole growing period of aloe, but the temperature conditions in spring and autumn are the most suitable, when the seedlings turn green faster and the survival rate is high.

2. Cutting: aloe vera can be cut off from the top of the stem at 10cm to 12cm, or the bud with a length of 10cm to 15cm can be cut from the axilla of the leaf, and then hung upside down in the shade for a week to make the incision shrink and dry, and then inserted into the seedling bed covered with shade to promote root survival. After rooting about 20 days after bud implantation, keep the soil moist and fertilize properly to promote the growth of seedlings and cultivate strong seedlings.

3. Leaf insertion: aloe vera cut a few millimeters from the base of the leaf, rotated and torn off along the center, dried the tiny wound and inserted it in the sterilized sand. In the temperature above 15 degrees Celsius and semi-overcast environment, it can take root in one month and sprout in five months at the latest. This method is very slow to reproduce, so it is rarely used.

Culture method of Aloe barbadensis

1. Soil: aloe vera likes to grow in loose soil with good drainage performance and not easy to solidify, and the soil with poor drainage permeability will cause root respiration obstruction, decay and necrosis, but excessive sandy soil often causes the loss of water and nutrients, so that aloe growth is poor.

2. Temperature: aloe vera is afraid of cold and grows in a frost-free environment for a long time. The growth stops at about 5 ℃, and the life process is impaired at 0 ℃. If it is lower than 0 ℃, it will be frostbitten. The most suitable temperature and humidity for growth are 1535 ℃ and 4585%, respectively.

3. Moisture: the growing period of Aloe vera needs sufficient water, but it is not resistant to waterlogging. Before transplanting, the seedling bed and transplanting land should be irrigated first, and then seedling and planting should be done after the topsoil dries slightly. In the rainy and wet season or in the case of poor drainage, it is easy to shrink leaves, rot branches and roots and even die.

4. Sunshine: aloe vera needs sufficient sunlight to grow. it should be noted that newly planted aloe vera is not suitable to bask in the sun. It is best to see the sun only in the morning. It will take ten and a half days and a half months before it will slowly adapt to thrive in the sun.

5. Fertilizer: aloe vera needs not only nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also some trace elements, but in order to ensure that aloe is a green natural plant, we should try our best to use fermented organic fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer, chicken manure and compost. Earthworm manure is more suitable for growing aloe.
