Introduction of Culture methods of Aloe Vera

Many friends do not have a special understanding of the breeding method of aloe. Today, let's briefly introduce the breeding method of aloe. Let's have a look at it.

Culture methods of Aloe vera

The commonly used formula of basin soil is: the proportion of humus, garden loam and river sand is 2:2:1, and sawdust or cooked coal ash can also be used instead of river sand. In addition, the basin soil is required to be relatively clean and sanitary, and the soil can be sterilized and sterilized before planting.

two。 Selection of pots: potted aloe had better use mud pots, not porcelain pots and plastic pots, because of poor air permeability and perishable 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.

3. Seedling selection: seedling selection is also the key to aloe breeding. Robust aloe seedlings should have short and thick leaves, dark green color, and self-rooting with more than four roots.

4. Upper basin: the upper basin should carry the seeds into the basin in spring and summer, but not in winter. The temperature is too low, which is not conducive to the occurrence of new roots. Before putting on the basin, you can put a broken tile at the bottom of the basin and press it on the water hole at the bottom of the basin, which can not only keep the drainage, but also will not leak out the basin soil. When potting, first straighten the aloe seedlings in the center of the basin and stretch the roots as far as possible. after filling the roots, gently lift the seedlings upward and compact them slightly, so that the roots are in close contact with the basin soil. then add the basin soil to keep 2'3 cm with the edge of the basin, and pay attention to straighten the seedling as far as possible. Finally, slowly pour water into the basin.

5. Change the basin: potted aloe culture generally needs to change the pot once every two years, and it is better to change the basin from April to May in spring and September to October in autumn. Keep the soil mass intact when changing the basin and try not to damage the root system. After changing the basin, you still need to keep it in a semi-shady place for a period of time, and then move to a sunny place for maintenance after completely slowing down the seedlings.

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 Celsius 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 45.5%.

Propagation methods of Aloe vera

1. Meristem propagation: meristem propagation is to separate and plant the short branches (botanically called sucking buds) that grow between the axils of stems and leaves on the rhizosphere of aloe and near the surface of the basin soil. it can be transplant or wait for it to take root and then move after it is stripped in situ. Meristem 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 meristem propagation is carried out, aloe seedlings turn green faster and the survival rate is high.

2. Cuttage propagation: in the growing period of aloe, the main stem or side branches are used as cuttings to make sure that the wound of aloe is dry, so as to avoid infection. Wait for it to take root before watering it. Before that, you can spray water like basin soil and keep it moist. In addition, the treatment of aloe seedlings after drying with rooting agent can improve the survival rate of seedlings and take root earlier.
