Can aloe live in water? hydroponic culture is not the best way to cultivate aloe.

People have always used soil to raise aloe, but many plants can grow on water in addition to soil, and it can also grow well in water. So, can aloe live in water? Some people want to try this method.

Aloe is better to be cultivated in the soil, the soil has good air permeability, and water and fertilizer conservation is better than water culture.

Cultivation and management of aloe vera

1. Temperature and light Aloe vera likes light, it is best to put it in a place with good outdoor ventilation and light, but it should be properly shaded in hot summer, and it should be placed in a sunny place above 5 ℃ in winter to pass the winter safely.

2. Watering aloe vera is most afraid of long-term stagnant water. If the soil is too wet, it will rot and die due to lack of oxygen in the roots. Usually spray or spray water on the leaves, keep it slightly wet, and water the basin soil when it is too dry. It is necessary to keep the soil dry during winter dormancy, otherwise it is easy to rot roots and leaves in a low-temperature, shady and humid environment.

3. Soil fertilizer aloe vera has wide adaptability, but sandy loam is better for planting soil, and ensure that the soil is loose, fertile, water-retaining and air-permeable. In general, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand are mixed with rotten horse dung and dried manure, and chicken and duck manure is better. Usually can not be fertilized, the growth period can also be applied 2Mel three times mature dilute liquid fertilizer, or Amoy rice water to grow better, should not be too thick fertilizer. It is not suitable to apply fertilizer in summer days to avoid rotting roots.

4. Change the basin every 2-3 years. The basin change should be carried out in April in spring and other seasons, but it is easy to die if it is not managed properly. Changing the basin can change the larger basin to remove the outside of the root and the soil up and down, and remove the rotten root at the same time.

5. Propagation is often done by root division or cuttings. The cuttings can be carried out from March to April in spring. The cuttings are made of strong branches with a length of 10mi / 25m, cut flat with a sharp knife, remove the left and right leaves at the bottom, leave them in a dry place for 7 days, wait for the incisions to dry and hard, form a hard film and plant them in the coarse sand mixed with a small amount of culture soil. Insert 2 cm to the left and right, keep the sand slightly wet, put it in a half-shaded environment, it can take root in 30 days, and then you can see the light throughout the day, but you can't have direct light. Two months later, you can plant it in the pot again.

Pot propagation can be carried out from March to April. The dense and rooted plants can be cut with a sharp knife and the main root, and a new basin can be planted. There is no need to water in the first week, and then water thoroughly after the wound conjunctiva. Manage the same adult plant.

Can aloe live in water? Aloe can survive in water, but it is not recommended that people breed aloe in water. Soil is the way to make aloe survive better and have more tenacious vitality. I hope people can pay attention to this and pay more attention to the cultivation of aloe.
