How to raise aloe to blossom?

1. Soil: aloe does not have strict requirements on soil, but the soil with poor drainage and permeability will cause root respiration obstruction and root necrosis, while excessive sandy soil often causes the loss of water and nutrients, resulting in poor growth of aloe.

2, selection of pots: aloe potted plants had better use mud pots, not porcelain pots and plastic pots, because of poor air permeability and easy to rot roots. It should be soaked with water before using the new basin, otherwise it is not easy to infiltrate the basin after watering, and the semi-dry and semi-wet basin wall will hurt the new roots.

Temperature: aloe vera is afraid of cold because it originally grew in a frost-free desert environment for a long time. Aloe stops growing at 5 degrees at room temperature, and obstacles will occur in the life process at zero degrees. The most suitable growth temperature for aloe culture is 15 ℃, and the humidity should be 450.5%.

4. Watering: aloe vera is called an "immortal plant". No watering has little effect, but if there is water in the soil, it will lead to root rot and drowning. In winter, water can be watered once every 15 to 20 days, and foliar spraying can be increased appropriately, watering as little as possible to keep the basin soil dry.

5. Illumination: aloe vera needs sufficient sunlight to grow. In addition to the newly planted aloe vera, which is not suitable for exposure to the sun (breeding for half a month or so), you can only see the sun in the morning. The more you bask in the sun, the better you will grow.

6, fertilizer: aloe can use nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and some trace element fertilizer, and in order to ensure that aloe is a green natural plant, fermented organic fertilizer can be used as far as possible, such as cake fertilizer, chicken manure, compost and so on.

7. Overwintering: the lowest safety line of aloe overwintering is 5 ℃, and some corresponding measures should be taken when the temperature is above 5 ℃. In winter, try to water less or even no watering, you can properly carry out foliar spray, and try to make potted aloe see more sunshine.

8. Change the pot: the pot of aloe should be changed once every two years, and it is better to change the basin every spring from April to May and from September to October in autumn. Keep the intact soil mass when changing the basin and try not to hurt the root system.
