It only takes one leaf to grow live aloe. How do you plant it?

Aloe vera is a common plant in life. Many women grow aloe vera at home and make aloe vera gel by themselves. It is said that aloe vera is very good to feed, and even said that only one leaf is needed to grow live aloe vera? How do you plant it?

Do you need only one leaf to grow aloe vera?

In fact, aloe vera leaves can indeed feed, but need to pay attention to the planting skills. Aloe leaves are rich in pulp and branches, easy to decay. When planting, choose soil with good air permeability. Scissors should be disinfected when taking leaves, placed in a ventilated and dry place, and 1/3 cuttings should be placed in the soil after the wound grows well.

2. How to plant it specifically?

1. cuttage

Choose 8 cm long leaves on the mother plant of aloe vera. Be sure to be healthy and thick. It looks easy to grow. This can improve the survival rate of aloe vera. Note that the blade should be obliquely cut with a disinfected knife to avoid wound infection. It is very important to plant aloe vera with a leaf. The freshly cut blade must not be directly inserted into the soil, because the leaf is still flowing juice continuously at this time. Cutting at this time will immediately cause decay. The leaf should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and the wound should be dried for about a week to avoid wound infection and fester. Then sterilization and disinfection should be carried out.

2. Select basin soil

Aloe vera should not live in a particularly humid environment, it will easily rot. Choose a container to choose a pot with good water permeability and as much as possible at the bottom of the drain, so as to avoid the occurrence of ponding, the soil is recommended to use cactus exclusive sandy soil and at the bottom of the flowerpot it is best to spread three centimeters of tiles so that we will prevent the phenomenon of blocked drain holes when watering.

3. cuttage

After preparing the above, you can insert the aloe leaves obliquely into the soil, and the depth of insertion must be one third of the leaves. When cutting, we must apply some rooting powder to the wounds of the leaves, so as to improve our germination and rooting probability. Moreover, before maintaining the roots, just cut the aloe leaves in a warm and ventilated place, and there must be a place where sunlight can be scattered. After cutting is completed, do not rush to water it. After four or five days, we must water it thoroughly at one time. Before that, we must keep the soil moist, but we cannot water it more.

4. later maintenance

The aloe vera must have sufficient sunlight to grow normally. The more it dries, the better it looks. However, if the direct sunlight is strong in summer, it should be avoided. It can be properly shaded. If the aloe vera just cut is not suitable for sufficient sunlight, it also needs fertilizer very much. We generally only need to add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to it, and it is enough to add fertilizer once a month. Fermented organic fertilizers such as chicken manure and compost can also be used to help aloe grow.
