How to grow aloe well

How can aloe grow well? this is what friends who fully know the efficacy of aloe are eager to know. So, let's explore the mystery of the growth of aloe.

First, how to raise aloe

1. Preparation of basin soil

The basin soil should have good properties of drainage, water retention, air permeability and fertilizer storage. The commonly used formula of basin soil is: the proportion of humus, garden loam and river sand is 2:2:1. When sawdust or cooked coal ash is used instead of river sand, the proportion remains unchanged. Aloe likes to grow in neutral environment, and the pH of potted substrate which is most suitable for aloe growth generally requires pH6.8~7.0. In addition, the basin soil is required to be relatively clean and hygienic, and must be used to disinfect and sterilize the soil.

2. Selection of basin

From the texture of flowerpots, there are earthen pots, purple sand pots, porcelain pots, plastic pots, etc., according to personal preferences and aesthetic taste, choose appropriate flowerpots to grow. The mud basin with good air permeability is the most suitable for the cultivation of aloe. If you choose a new basin, it should be soaked with water, otherwise it is not easy to infiltrate the basin after watering, and the semi-dry and semi-wet basin wall will hurt the new root. If the old flowerpot is used, the soil residue and moss should be washed clean and dried in the sun, which can not only increase the breathability of the basin, but also prevent diseases and insect pests.

2. the culture method of bonsai aloe.

Soil: 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 soil with poor drainage and permeability will cause root respiration obstruction and root necrosis, but excessive sandy soil often causes the loss of water and nutrients, resulting in poor growth of aloe.

Temperature: aloe vera is afraid of cold. It grows in a frost-free environment for a long time. The growth stops at about 5 ℃. At 0 ℃, the life process is disturbed. If it is lower than 0 ℃, it will be frostbitten. The most suitable temperature for growth is 15 ℃, and the humidity is 45%.

Water: 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.

Third, points for attention in the appearance of aloe

1. Pay attention to temperature. Aloe is afraid of cold and stops growing at about 5 ℃ and frostbite at 0 ℃. Therefore, the culture temperature of aloe vera grows fastest when the temperature is 15 ℃ and 35 min.

2. Aloe is afraid of stagnant water. Aloe vera needs to be born in places with good drainage performance, so when planting, the soil can be mixed with some gravel to prevent soil consolidation, reduce the water permeability of aloe roots and hinder root respiration.

3. Aloe needs photosynthesis. Like other plants, aloe needs sunlight to grow. For the newly planted aloe, it is best to let the aloe see the sun in the morning and avoid being exposed to direct sunlight at noon.

4. Black spot disease is the main factor affecting the growth of aloe, which is not only common, but also serious. The occurrence and prevalence of black spot disease is mainly due to heavy rain and low temperature, which is generally obvious in spring. In the prevention and control measures, prevention should be given priority to, and the comprehensive control methods of agricultural cultivation measures and pesticides should be adopted to clear ditches and reduce soil moisture, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing harm.

The above on how to grow aloe did in-depth research, so that we have more confidence in the cultivation of aloe, but also more scientific and reasonable, gratifying growth.
