Aloe is a perennial succulent herb of Liliaceae, with a wide variety of species, because it is easy to grow and has the effect of skin care medicine, so it is widely loved. Although aloe vera is easy to grow, there are areas that need to be paid attention to, such as not overwatering. Aloe belongs to drought-tolerant and waterlogging-resistant plants, so it should not be watered too much, otherwise it is easy to cause symptoms such as rotting roots. How does potted aloe plant be watered? how should aloe be watered too much?

Aloe seedling transplantation: when the small aloe vera has about 5-8 cm, it can be transplanted. When transplanting, cut off or break off the small aloe vera directly. You can have a root without a root, and it will come out in a few days without a root. Put the broken aloe in the shade for 3-5 days, the temperature should be moderate, and you can move it out later, because it has already taken root. It is best not to transplant in winter, small aloe is relatively weak, the survival rate of winter transplantation is relatively low, spring, summer and autumn can.

Aloe vera transplantation, which has been growing for many years: small aloe vera will also grow from its roots. The method of transplantation: dig out the seedlings with a knife, transplant the soil into the prepared basin, keep the basin soil dry and moist (moist), and the survival rate is very high.

Watering of potted aloe is related to the season.

In spring, when the temperature is 15-25 degrees Celsius, you can appropriately increase the watering times, generally watering once every 5-7 days, and take the principle of not drying and watering thoroughly, so that the basin soil can be seen dry and wet.

In summer, the temperature is high and the evaporation is large, so it needs to be watered every 2-3 days. In addition, aloe leaves can be sprayed with water every morning and evening, which can keep aloe leaves green and increase ornamental. Potted aloe in summer should also pay attention to less exposure to the hot sun, so as to reduce the loss of water in potted soil and plants.

The watering of aloe in autumn is basically similar to that in spring. sometimes it is better to water less and make up watering after the basin soil is short of water, rather than make the basin soil in a state of over-saturation for a long time, resulting in insufficient oxygen in the roots of potted aloe, difficulty in breathing and death of aloe plants.

It should be watered as little as possible when the room temperature is low in winter. Generally, it can be watered once every 15-20 days. If necessary, foliar spraying can be used to keep the basin soil properly dry, which is beneficial to aloe plants to survive the winter safely.

What if aloe is overwatered?

Aloe leaves are thick and juicy and store a lot of water, so in general, you don't have to worry about drought and watering too often. Watering should pay attention to a lot of points, especially for aloe, which is easy to be waterlogged, two points should be paid attention to briefly. One is to water thoroughly, watering thoroughly does not mean that much watering, but to let the water into the soil, not to let water into the depths of the soil and over-watering, to pay attention to the appropriate, how to distinguish appropriate? You have to pay attention to the second point here.

Watering is dry and wet, that is, on the surface of the soil, there should be a slightly moist place, but not the whole area or a large area. For aloe vera, there is no big problem as long as the soil does not begin to crack, and there are dots of wet places after watering. Too much watering of aloe will affect the permeability of the soil, and the soil is too wet, which will not only reduce the air, the anaerobic respiration of the roots to produce alcohol, but also further make the soil slightly acidic, and some bacteria such as butyric acid bacteria will grow wantonly, resulting in harmful substances, which lead to rotten roots.

If too much watering, there are different solutions in different periods. If you accidentally water too much at the initial stage, you should immediately remove aloe to the soil with suitable humidity, or take it out to disperse the water as soon as possible. If too much water is watered for a long time because of not knowing the amount of water, it will be relatively troublesome to deal with it until aloe begins to turn yellow or rot.

The appearance of brown patches or brown rot on aloe leaves is a symptom of early decay, so stop watering and let it recover slowly. If the root does not improve or the spot increases after a few days, it means that the root has begun to rot. It is necessary to deal with it in time, take out the plant and transplant it to dry soil. In the process of transplanting, we should pay attention to the decay of the root, and the rotten root must be removed.

If the leaves turn yellow or a large area of decay and shrinkage occurs, you need to remove the decaying leaves and roots, then leave them in a dry place for one or two days, and then re-implant them into the new soil. Be careful not to water after replanting, and spray a small amount of water on the soil. Just make it a little moist.
