How to transplant and plant Aloe
The editor will explain how to transplant and plant Aloe and the introduction of related knowledge about Aloe planting methods and management of green plants and flowers. Next, the editor of this site will introduce to everyone.
Aloe is very common in homes, and many flower enthusiasts like to plant a pot at home, which can decorate the space and also has certain uses, such as being edible, or when we are bitten by mosquitoes, we can break a leaf and apply its juice to effectively prevent itching caused by mosquito bites. Aloe grows very fast and is relatively easy to care for. If transplanted properly, it will survive quickly.
Aloe transplantation is very simple. When transplanting Aloe, the first step is to remove the original soil, leaving no soil at all because Aloe is also a succulent plant. Then, its overgrown roots should be shortened appropriately, and the fine roots cut off. After pruning, place it in a well-ventilated area to dry. If there are small side buds, they should also be removed and can be planted separately. Generally, it should be dried for two to three days to allow the wounds to dry and heal completely. After drying, we plant it in loose and breathable soil, preferably mixed with some granules or river sand to increase soil permeability and water permeability. As long as the wounds are dry, after planting, you can water it thoroughly. Don't forget to add root growth liquid and carbendazim when watering, which can prevent fungi in the soil from causing root rot.
Then, you can put it in a place with scattered light and good ventilation to let it adapt. Generally speaking, within a week, its roots will grow out and start growing normally. During this period, how should we judge whether the transplantation has survived and whether it has adapted successfully? If the leaves of the transplanted Aloe are still wilted, it means that it has not yet rooted and recovered. When the leaves become plump and the color changes from red to green, and new leaves start to grow, it proves that it has fully survived and successfully adapted. When the leaves recover and start to grow new leaves, we can appropriately increase the light and return to normal maintenance. However, do not use fertilizer frequently as our newly replaced soil contains nutrients. When it grows rapidly, you can fertilize normally.
Aloe is very easy to care for. During the maintenance process, place it in the sunniest area all year round and supplement it with a multi-element fertilizer once a month. The watering principle is to water thoroughly when the potting soil is completely dry. In this way, the Aloe we raise can grow leaves quickly, with wide leaves and side buds continuously growing outward, eventually filling the pot.
The above introduction of how to transplant and plant Aloe, as well as the comprehensive introduction of Aloe planting methods and management, hopes to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
