Aloe Cultivation and Propagation Methods
The editor will tell you about the methods of cultivating and propagating aloe, as well as the related topics of floral cultivation skills for maintaining aloe. Let's follow the editor and have a look!
Division Propagation: Separate aloe stems and leaves from the original plant and plant them in the soil. Cutting Propagation: Cut off its healthy and vigorous leaves with a knife, then disinfect and dry them, wait for the wound to dry, and then insert them into the soil.
1. Division Propagation
This method is flexible in timing and can be carried out throughout the entire growth process from young to mature plants. Specifically, there are three operational methods:
① The first method is to directly break off the stem from the original plant, or separate the new plant that grows from its roots, and then plant the broken off or separated plant into the soil.
② The second method is to separate the seedlings from the original plant with a knife but leave them in place. After half a month, they can grow their own roots and can then be transplanted.
③ The last method is to separate it from the original plant and place it in a well-ventilated area to dry for a few days, wait for the wound to heal before planting, and water promptly.
2. Cutting Propagation
This method takes advantage of a characteristic of aloe: the main stem and the adjacent branches may produce roots at the bottom, and we only need to剥离 it from the original plant to generate new roots.
However, this method has higher requirements for the environment. The temperature should be maintained between 25℃ and 28℃, and the soil temperature should be two degrees higher than the air temperature for the roots to grow faster. If the temperature is too low, it will affect root growth. The soil should not be too wet, but the humidity of the air can be higher.
The specific operation method is to cut its healthy and vigorous leaves during the growing period with a knife, disinfect and dry the wound until it is dry, and then insert the leaf into the soil. The depth should be enough to prevent the leaf from falling over.
The above is the complete content on aloe cultivation, propagation methods, and maintenance tips. I hope it can help you and also hope that everyone will come to see more green plant and flower experience knowledge!
