Aloe Vera is a new plant with edible, medicinal, beauty and ornamental functions. Aloe has been used as a natural medicine for beauty, hair care and treatment of skin diseases in China. So many people have planted aloe at home in case of unexpected needs. This paper shows how to cultivate Aloe by combining the cultivation experience and basic cultivation methods of senior flower friends.

Aloe cultivation methods (experience) aloe cultivation methods (experience) first of all, let's talk about the most basic knowledge of aloe cultivation methods:

Soil matrix:

Loose sandy soil with good air permeability is suitable for aloe growth. If the basin soil hardens, attention should be paid to frequent loosening.

Watering points:

The leaves of aloe vera are fleshy, drought resistance is strong, and water requirement is not much. If the basin soil is moist for a long time, it is easy to cause root rot. Usually, watering should be controlled flexibly according to the change of environment. If the air is wet, it should be watered less; when it is hot and dry, it should be watered more. When outdoor maintenance, attention should be paid to avoid the accumulation of water in the basin on rainy days, and it is best to properly shelter from the rain.

Temperature and light:

Aloe likes heat and is afraid of cold. When the temperature is below 10 ℃, it will stop growing. If we don't take warm keeping measures in winter, it is easy to get frostbite and freeze to death. Therefore, it is better to keep warm indoors to avoid freezing injury.

Aloe grows well in sunshine. If there is no sunshine for a long time, it will become smaller and thinner, and the leaves will appear black spots.

Method of changing basin:

The best time for aloe to change the pot is in spring. After two years of cultivation, it should be changed to a larger one. When changing pots, the rotten roots should be removed and the soil grasped by the roots should be retained. After the new soil is cultivated, it should be watered once to ensure the soil moisture.

Main points of fertilization: Aloe does not require much fertilizer, so you can use decomposed organic fertilizer as base fertilizer. During the growth period, the fertilizer and water can be applied once a month. Fertilization was stopped in the period of slow growth in winter.

Disease control:

The main factor affecting the growth of aloe is black spot, which is not only common but also serious. The occurrence and prevalence of black spot disease are mainly due to rainy and low temperature, and the disease is usually obvious in spring. In the prevention and control measures, prevention should be taken as the main measure, and the comprehensive prevention and control method should be combined with the agricultural cultivation measures of clearing ditches and drainage, reducing soil moisture and chemicals, so as to reduce the harm.

Aloe maintenance experience of a senior flower friend:

Location of Huayou: Wuhan, Hubei Province; breeding time: 5 years;

There are too many articles about aloe breeding methods on the Internet. We don't want to turn them over. Although there are many kinds of aloe varieties, the maintenance methods are basically the same. Here's a flower friend's experience. Flower friends can combine the above experience and then maintain them according to their own actual situation!

1. It's better to have a bigger pot to facilitate propagation, so as not to have to change the pot for a long seedling in the future;

2. Move into the room under zero degree and strictly control the watering;

3. Aloe root system is very undeveloped, soil should be soft, I am half garden soil (rotten soil), half sand, and rather dry than wet, most avoid water;

4. I don't need to bask in the sun. In summer (Wuhan), I put it indoors. In spring and autumn, I put it outside for one day. I have to air it indoors for a few days. When the branches return to green, I don't have any diseases and pests. I don't need to worry about it too much and water it too dry.

5. Overwintering maintenance: if it is the Fourth District in the north, it is generally safe to put potted aloe indoors, so there is no need to worry about it in the south. It is no problem to run naked for the winter, but if the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it is necessary to take cold prevention measures. Be sure to remember! 5 ℃ is the lowest safety line of aloe overwintering. When the temperature is above 5 ℃, some corresponding measures should be taken to keep warm. In winter, we should water as little or no water as possible. We can spray water on the leaves properly, and let the potted aloe see more sunshine as far as possible.
