How to Water Aloe Vera in Summer
Today's tip on living a better life: how to water aloe vera in summer and the correct watering methods for growing aloe vera. Let's find out together below.
Mentioning aloe vera, many gardening enthusiasts are familiar with this plant. It is a plant with very high practical value, used in making cosmetics and can also be kept at home to purify harmful gases in our living environment. However, for aloe vera in summer, it can be a challenging season. If we do not take good care of it, it is easy for the aloe vera to develop various problems.
So today, I will focus on the question of how we should water aloe vera in summer and give you a detailed explanation. Summer is a very hot season, with high temperatures. Aloe vera can lose a lot of water due to high temperatures. Therefore, it is especially important to keep the plant well-hydrated and increase the frequency of watering. If there is a delay in water supplementation, it can easily cause the aloe vera to stop growing.
Below, I will introduce how to water aloe vera in specific environments.
(1) Placed on the Balcony
The amount of watering in summer can be determined by its specific placement. If you place aloe vera on the balcony, you only need to water it every 3-5 days.
For aloe vera placed on the balcony, there may be blackening and drying at night. In this case, you can simply cut off the problematic parts.
How to Water Aloe Vera in Summer
I remind gardening enthusiasts to avoid the hottest 1-2 hours in the afternoon during summer. Wait until the temperature is slightly lower before moving them back to their original position. Also, don't forget to spray water on the leaves to help cool them down.
(2) Placed in a Shaded Area
If the aloe vera is placed in a cool and well-ventilated area during summer, it is also acceptable to extend the watering time appropriately. Watering the aloe vera once a week is suitable.
Since aloe vera has thick leaf flesh and many small spines on its leaves, which help retain moisture, we don't need to worry that extending the watering time will cause the aloe vera to become dehydrated.
