Aloe vera is a tropical evergreen plant that requires a lot of water in summer. However, excessive watering can cause aloe vera roots to rot, affect growth, and even die. It is important to reasonably arrange the watering time and amount of aloe vera.
Preparations to pay attention to before watering Before watering, aloe vera needs to be moved to a well-ventilated environment to avoid damage to plants caused by excessive or too low temperatures. At the same time, make sure the soil surface is dry before watering.
Choose the watering time. Summer temperatures are high, so you need to choose to water in the morning or at night. Because aloe vera absorbs a large amount of water during these two periods and the humidity is high, it can help aloe vera absorb more water. However, when the sun is direct at noon, watering will burn the aloe vera leaves.
Water amount of aloe vera in summer The amount of aloe vera in summer should be moderate, not too much or too little. You can insert your fingers into the soil surface a distance to feel the moisture of the soil. If you feel dry, water it. But don't pour too much water at once, you should do it in several times.
Maintain appropriate humidity When summer temperatures and humidity are high, aloe vera needs to maintain appropriate humidity. You can spread moist plant ash around the aloe vera, or place the aloe vera in a basin and add cement, fine sand and other materials to the bottom to distribute the water more evenly.
Avoid standing water When watering aloe vera in summer, you need to pay attention to avoiding standing water. Accumulated water will not only affect the growth of aloe vera, but also cause the breeding of pests and diseases, causing more serious harm to aloe vera.
Pay attention to watering frequency. Summer temperatures are high, and aloe vera evaporates quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the frequency of watering. However, the amount of watering should not be too much at a time to avoid excessive moisture of aloe vera.
Deep watering is the main source of aloe vera. The root system is deeper into the soil, so deep watering is needed. Water can be poured directly into the center of the soil to allow the water to penetrate into the roots of the aloe vera.
Pay attention to watering methods. When watering aloe vera in summer, you can choose spraying or irrigation methods. However, it is important to pay attention not to spray water directly on the leaves of aloe vera to avoid scalds caused by accumulated water on the leaves.
Watering according to different growth stages. Aloe vera requires different water at different stages of growth. During the growing season, the frequency and amount of watering need to be increased; while during the dormant period, the frequency and amount of watering need to be reduced.
Fertilization of aloe vera in summer requires appropriate fertilization to increase the nutrient content of plants and promote growth. However, it should be noted that fertilization should not be excessive, otherwise it will cause damage to aloe vera.
In addition to reasonable watering, the maintenance of aloe vera in summer also requires attention to timely removal of fallen leaves and dead branches. At the same time, work such as loosening soil and adjusting density are also needed to maintain the healthy growth of aloe vera.
Prevention and control of pests and diseases in summer aloe vera is vulnerable to pests and diseases such as aphids and powdery mildew in summer. Therefore, regular prevention and treatment is needed to maintain the healthy growth of aloe vera.
The light of aloe vera in summer is strong in summer, which promotes the growth of aloe vera to a certain extent. However, you need to avoid direct sunlight to avoid scalding aloe vera leaves.
Temperature control of aloe vera in summer The summer temperature is higher, and the temperature of the aloe vera growth environment needs to be controlled. The temperature can be controlled by adjusting ventilation, shading, etc. to maintain the normal growth of aloe vera.
The watering of aloe vera in summer needs to be reasonably arranged to meet the needs of aloe vera in different growth stages. During the watering process, attention should be paid to factors such as water volume, water temperature, and watering frequency to ensure the healthy growth of aloe vera. At the same time, attention should also be paid to fertilization, maintenance, pest control and other work to comprehensively protect the growth of aloe vera.
