How to water Aloe Vera
An in-depth explanation for netizens on how to water Aloe Vera and the precautions for watering this green plant, with a comprehensive introduction to follow.
Aloe Vera is a common green plant in people's daily lives. Planting it at home not only beautifies the living environment but also has skincare benefits. During the process of cultivating Aloe Vera, we often encounter some issues, such as how to water it? In fact, any plant cannot do without the supplement of water, and proper watering is a prerequisite for Aloe Vera to thrive. Below is an introduction to the watering methods for Aloe Vera.
【One, Aloe Vera watering standards】
Aloe Vera is a plant that won't die from drought but fears积水. Excessive water in the potting soil can cause the leaves to shrink and the roots to become disordered, and in severe cases, it can lead to death. Therefore, during the growth period of Aloe Vera, it is necessary to provide it with the right amount of water to keep the leaves green and the flesh thick and full of vitality. Generally, the humidity in the Aloe Vera growing environment should be maintained between 45%-85%.
【Two, watering seasons】
<1. Spring>
In spring, with the temperature rising, when it is between ten to twenty degrees Celsius, water it once a week, adhering to the standard of not watering when dry and watering thoroughly when done. If it encounters a rainy season, the watering interval can be extended, always keeping the potting soil slightly dry and slightly wet.
<2. Summer>
In summer, with high temperatures, it is necessary to water every two or three days, keeping the leaves of Aloe Vera sprayed with water every morning and evening to maintain a green color and enhance its ornamental value. Be careful to prevent exposure to direct sunlight to reduce water loss and, if necessary, move the Aloe Vera to a ventilated and shady place.
<3. Autumn>
How to water Aloe Vera
The watering in autumn is similar to that in spring, ensuring it's not too dry or too wet. It's better to water less rather than keeping the potting soil in a state of excessive moisture for a long time, which can easily cause root hypoxia and lead to plant death. Watering can be done in the early morning and evening, as the water temperature is closer to the potting soil temperature at these times, thus avoiding a large temperature difference that could affect the growth of the Aloe Vera roots.
<4. Winter>
When winter comes, the temperature gradually drops, and Aloe Vera grows in a slow state. When watering, try to water less, basically once every two to three weeks. It's best to water around noon, which is the warmest time of the day, so watering won't cause cooling.
【Three, the most suitable water quality for Aloe Vera】
When watering Aloe Vera, it's best to use rainwater and river water. If tap water is used for a long time, due to its high chloride content, it can have a certain impact on the growth of Aloe Vera. If conditions allow, it's advisable to use magnetized water, which can promote the development of the plant's root system, enhance the growth of the above-ground part, and keep the leaves green.
