Aloe Vera cultivation method
As a star plant with both practical and ornamental value, aloe vera is deeply loved for its unique fleshy leaves and strong vitality. Mastering scientific maintenance methods can not only allow the plants to thrive, but also show their unique morphological beauty. The following will be a comprehensive explanation from the key points of cultivation to the details of maintenance. It is recommended to use clay pots or veg-fired pots with a diameter of 15-20cm for container selection and substrate ratio for home cultivation environment. This kind of material has good ventilation and drainage properties. The substrate preparation follows the golden ratio of 4:4:2, and the garden soil, leaf soil and coarse river sand are fully mixed to ensure smooth root respiration. When replacing new soil every spring, a small amount of bone meal can be added to improve fertility. Coordinated control of light, warm water and air ensures 6 hours of direct light every day in spring and summer, and sunshade nets can be set up for protection during strong light periods at noon. Watering adopts the principle of "see what is dry, see what is wet", and slowly pour it through along the edge of the basin after the soil is completely dry. Maintain an ideal temperature range of 12-25℃ in winter, and control humidity between 40%-60%. Humidification can be increased by laying pebbles on trays. Four-season maintenance focuses on analyzing the fine management of the growth period. Diluted liquid fertilizer is applied every half month from March to October. It is recommended to use organic fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content. Pay attention to rotating the flowerpot regularly so that the plants receive light evenly, and remove the aging leaves at the base in time to promote the germination of new buds. Key points for protection during dormant period When the temperature is lower than 10℃, move to a bright place indoors, stop fertilizing and reduce the frequency of watering. Use double-layer pot method to keep warm, or cover the surface of the pot soil with pine scales to effectively prevent root frostbite. Multi-scene application shows the cultivation method of aloe vera
From the green and plump aloe vera of Curacao to the strange-spotted varieties that never sleeps, these real photos show the morphological characteristics of different aloe vera. Multiple plants can be combined to create green plants on the balcony, or a single pot can be used to decorate the study desk, which has the dual effects of purifying the air and soothing the vision.
By systematically mastering the three core elements of light control, moisture management, and temperature adaptation, and coordinating with maintenance measures such as regular pot changes and root pruning, even novices can cultivate healthy and lush aloe vera. Its crystal and clear mesophyll can not only make natural skin care products, but the aloin secreted by the leaves also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, truly realizing the perfect unity of viewing and practicality.
