Two Methods of Hydroponic Aloe Vera
The editor would like to share some small experiences in growing hydroponic flowers like aloe vera. Here are the two methods of hydroponic aloe vera, which will be introduced to netizens by the site editor.
Method One: Cut off a daughter plant with roots from the root neck of the soil-grown aloe vera, wash the roots, let the cut surface dry, and then plant it in a transparent container. To secure the roots, a small amount of substrate can be added, and clear water should be poured into the container until 2/3 of the roots are submerged.
Method Two: Select a small-sized soil-grown aloe vera, dig out the whole plant, wash the roots, and then plant it in a transparent container, pouring clear water until 2/3 of the roots are submerged. Move the container to a shady and windless place, change the water every 2 to 3 days, remove any rotting roots promptly, and after about 1 month, new white and sturdy roots will grow, which are ornamental.
Daily Maintenance
(1) After the hydroponic roots have grown and adapted to the hydroponic environment, move it to a bright place and switch to a foliar plant nutrient solution for long-term cultivation, changing the nutrient solution every half a month to one month.
(2) In summer, there is a brief dormant period, during which it should be moved from a bright place to a semi-shaded and well-ventilated area.
(3) In winter, place it in a sunny indoor area. The room temperature should be above 5°C to ensure safe overwintering. If you want the plant to bloom, the room temperature should be above 10°C in winter. Aloe vera can tolerate brief temperatures of 0°C.
The above is a detailed description of the two methods of hydroponic aloe vera. I hope it can be of help to you!
