Second, the culture mode of aloe.

Soil

Aloe vera has good water and air permeability, high content of organic matter, and its PH value is 6.5 Mel 7.2. Aloe likes to grow in loose soil with good drainage and not easy to consolidate. General soil can be mixed with some gravel ash, such as the addition of rotten leaf grass ash is better. The poor drainage and permeability of the soil will cause root respiration obstruction, decay and necrosis, but too much sandy soil often causes the loss of water and nutrients, resulting in poor growth of aloe.

Light

Like light, withstand half-shade, avoid direct sunlight and excessive shade. Aloe needs plenty of sunlight to grow. it should be noted that newly planted aloe is not suitable to bask in the sun. It is best to see the sun only in the morning. After ten and a half days and a half months, it will slowly adapt to thrive in the sun.

Temperature

Aloe vera is afraid of cold. It grows in a frost-free environment for a long time. The suitable environmental temperature for growth is 20 ℃ and 30 ℃, and the best temperature at night is 14 ℃. The growth stopped at about 5 ℃, and the life process was hindered at 0 ℃. If it was lower than 0 ℃, the mesophyll would wilt and die from frostbite. The most suitable temperature for growth is 15 ℃, and the humidity is 45%.

Moisture content

Aloe has a strong ability to resist drought, aloe from the soil can dry for several months without death. Aloe vera needs sufficient water during its growing period, but it is not resistant to waterlogging.

Like all plants, aloe needs water, but it is most afraid of stagnant water. 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.

1. Although aloe likes places with plenty of sunshine, we can't expose them to the sun. We should plant them in places where the sun is mild and bright.

2. We should not "spoil" aloe too much, such as overwatering. Generally speaking, the frequency of watering should not be too frequent, and we should not water too much at once. We should water it appropriately and loosen the soil properly.

3. When we use aloe, it is best to cut the aloe from the root instead of directly from the middle to avoid the occurrence of rotten leaves and roots.
