How to achieve bursting of aloe vera
As a star variety among succulent plants, aloe vera is deeply loved by flower lovers for its unique shape and practical value. Achieving explosive growth can not only improve ornamental quality, but also reflect the gardening level of the conservator. This article will systematically analyze the cultivation techniques of aloe vera in bursting pots, and explain in detail the matters needing attention for dividing pots. Poin-soil selection techniques for the five core elements of aloe burst cultivation Select wide-mouth pottery pots with a diameter of more than 30cm to ensure horizontal expansion of the root system. It is recommended to use a mixed formula of peat soil + perlite (1:1), and add 10g of decomposed sheep manure to each liter of substrate as base fertilizer to ensure water permeability and nutrient reserve. Key points for light management are 6 hours of direct light per day, and full sunshine maintenance can be carried out in spring and autumn. In summer, you need to avoid the strong noon light and use a sunshade net to filter 30% of the light. Rotate the flowerpot regularly to ensure that the plants receive even light and avoid excessive growth. The moisture control plan adopts the "see dry, see wet" watering method, and the basin soil is completely dried before pouring it. In winter, control water to once a month and keep the substrate slightly dry can effectively stimulate the germination of lateral buds. Use a point-spout pot to water along the edge of the pot to avoid stagnant water and rot in the leaf core. Nutrient replenishment strategy Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (15-15-15) water-soluble fertilizers are applied every half month during the growth period, and the dilution concentration is controlled at 1200 times. Increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote lignification starting from September, and stop fertilization in winter. Alginate solution can be sprayed monthly on the leaves to enhance stress resistance. The key to environmental control is to maintain the ideal temperature range of 18-28℃, and not lower than 5℃ in winter. Combined with 50% air humidity, it can be achieved by laying wet pebbles on trays. When the temperature difference between day and night is 8-10℃, it is most conducive to the growth of burst buds. Analysis of the entire process of pot explosion and plant sorting operation. Pots can be divided when the plants cover 90% of the pot mouth. Cut off water 3 days in advance to dry the substrate, carefully remove the basin and shake off the old soil. Use a disinfectant blade to separate the root-bearing side buds, and apply plant ash to the incision to dry for 24 hours. Select tidal soil to be placed on the basin, place it in a scattered light place to slow down the seedlings for 2 weeks, and then maintain them normally.
Through a scientific maintenance system and precise timing of dividing plants, you can not only enjoy the visual feast brought by exploding pots, but also obtain healthy new plants. Mastering these key technical points, your aloe vera will present a vibrant beauty.
