To understand the methods of cutting propagation of aloe in detail, you only need to remember that the success of reproduction is not a dream.

Preface

Aloe is now very popular with flower friends, and in many families, Lu Kun aloe potted plants appear. Keeping them at home can not only help us remove formaldehyde gas from our homes, but also can take off leaves to make facial masks. Even some people will add it to food and eat it, so aloe is the most popular green plant at present. And the propagation method of aloe is also very simple, we need to propagate aloe by cuttage, which can not only increase its survival rate but also effectively help aloe take root.

Select cutting leaves

If we want to add aloe successfully, first of all, we should pay attention to selecting the most suitable aloe leaf for cutting. we need to choose a very vigorous aloe vera. We must choose the outermost leaf. When choosing leaves, we must choose the strongest one on the whole plant. In order to increase the success rate of cutting, we must choose more than 8 centimeters of leaves and When you cut off the leaves, you must use a sterilized knife to avoid infection in the aloe wound, and then we can put it in a cool, damp place and wait for the wound to heal.

Waiting for the incision to heal

We just cut aloe leaves must not be directly cut aloe pieces must be placed in a cool place to dry before cutting, we need to put aloe leaves in a warm place with a temperature of 25 ℃, waiting for the cut side of aloe slowly air-dried wound healing, when you see that the section has grown a film at this time can be cutting And this time will also depend on the environment, the environment clean temperature is right within five days, the wound will heal, if the environment is not good, then half a month is possible.

Soil

Among the specific steps of breeding aloe, the most important thing is to choose the flowerpot and soil. The flowerpot must have a hole in the bottom to permeate, and the soil must choose loose sandy soil. And we must ensure that the soil is fertile or buy some special soil for succulent plants can also be used as aloe cutting soil, but we need to cover the bottom of the flowerpot with a layer of pebbles. This can ensure the water permeability of the flowerpot to avoid blockage of the permeable hole so as to avoid stagnant water.

Cuttage

The last step is to put the aloe leaves ready for cutting in the soil. At this time, we should pay attention to the fact that the part of the cutting in the soil must have at least two centimeters of the leaf. Do not let it be in a half-inverted state. This will make it grow faster. After cutting, we need to pour a little water to keep the soil moist. We need to wait quietly for a month before the cutting aloe can grow new stems.

Matters needing attention in cutting

In fact, our cutting propagation of aloe vera is a very risky practice, and its survival rate is actually not very high, so in order to increase the survival rate of aloe cutting, we must pay attention to cleanliness, whether when cutting aloe leaves, or in the shade dry aloe section, we must pay attention not to let aloe get infected with any details. Otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted and the chances of successful aloe cutting will be very small.

The soil is moist at the right temperature.

When aloe is cutting, we must pay attention to whether its temperature is suitable or not, it must be kept between 20-28 degrees Celsius is the best, aloe has not taken root just when cutting, so it is very weak and absolutely can not be lower than 20 ℃ environment, aloe needs water very much in the process of growing, so we naturally can not be too dry when cutting. We need to keep the soil of aloe cutting at a minimum humidity, but it is best not to water it in a semi-dry and semi-wet state, otherwise aloe will be flooded by our water before it takes root.

There is plenty of sunshine

When cutting aloe, we must pay attention to the need for sufficient sunlight, and the leaves of aloe cutting must also face the sun, do not put it in a cool place, as long as the aloe illuminated by the sun can have photosynthesis. Only in this way can we transport nutrients to the soil and promote the rooting of urban aloe. At this time, we should pay attention to that aloe will be very weak. Be sure not to put it in direct sunlight, it will cause aloe leaves to turn yellow, which may lead to our cutting failure. So I believe you can also learn the method of cutting aloe through the above steps mentioned by the editor. So in the end, the editor wishes you all to be able to breed big and beautiful aloe at home.
