Aloe vera, as a member of succulent plants, is known for its strong vitality. Even the toughest plants may encounter drying situations. What should we do if the succulent aloe vera dries up? Let's unveil how to rescue these adorable plants.
Analysis of reasonsBefore solving the problem of dried-up succulent aloe vera, it is first necessary to understand the reasons for the drying. Dried-up succulent aloe vera may be caused by the following reasons:
1. Insufficient water: Improper watering or long-term water deficiency can lead to insufficient water supply to the plant.
2. Insufficient light: Long-term exposure to dark environments, lack of light, and affecting the plant's photosynthesis.
3. Insufficient fertilizer: Long-term non-fertilization or improper fertilization can lead to insufficient nutrition for the plant.
4. Diseases and pests: Infestation by diseases and pests can hinder plant growth.
Rescue guideAfter understanding the causes of drying, we can take the following measures to rescue the dried-up succulent aloe vera:
1. Supplement water
For drying caused by insufficient water, first stop watering and allow the water in the soil to gradually渗透 to the plant roots. Remove the dried-up succulent aloe vera, cut off the wilted leaves and some dried-up roots with scissors, soak the roots in a carbendazim solution for disinfection, rinse with clean water, and then place the treated succulent aloe vera in new soil. Keep the soil slightly moist and place it in a place with ample scattered light.
2. Increase light
Move the dried-up succulent aloe vera to a place with sufficient light, ensuring at least 4-6 hours of light every day. If conditions permit, you can increase the light exposure time to promote plant recovery.
3. Fertilize
After the plant recovers, apply a small amount of low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to supplement the nutrients needed for plant growth. When fertilizing, be careful not to overdo it to avoid root burn.
4. Prevent diseases and pests
Regularly inspect the plant and deal with diseases and pests in a timely manner. You can use insecticides or biological pesticides for control. Also, pay attention to maintaining ventilation and hygiene in the environment.
Dried-up succulent aloe vera is not scary. As long as we understand the reasons and take corresponding measures, we can effectively rescue these adorable plants. I hope this guide can help many plant enthusiasts and bring our succulent aloe vera back to life.
