How to plant the aloe vera you just received (how to cultivate and manage aloe vera so that it can survive easily)

There is limited space for growing flowers at home, but even under such conditions, many flower lovers still choose to grow aloe vera.

Speaking of potted plants such as aloe vera, many people who have just started growing flowers are very familiar with them, because aloe vera has been popular in the flower-growing circle for many years. This potted plant has so many benefits that most flower lovers have no reason to refuse to grow aloe vera.

There are many varieties of aloe vera, and different varieties have different effects when used.

Some flower lovers like to grow aloe vera for its beauty functions, while others like aloe vera for its medicinal value. Growing aloe vera at home can not only decorate the family living environment, but also have a certain effect on the decomposition of harmful gases such as formaldehyde. Aloe vera also has other functions.

The leaves of aloe vera grow very full and thick, and the main purpose of aloe vera potted plants is to appreciate the leaves. If they are not well cared for, the leaves will not grow full enough, and such aloe vera will not only have poor ornamental value.

Moreover, if not handled in time, the shriveled leaves may even turn yellow and burnt. If you don’t want your aloe vera at home to have such problems, you must take good care of it.

How to deal with newly bought aloe vera

The aloe vera that flower lovers newly buy home usually grows well. What flower lovers need to do at this time is to help the aloe vera adapt to the new growth environment. Also, the roots of the newly purchased aloe vera may not be very solid.

At this time, flower lovers must first let the aloe vera grow its roots well before they can grow the aloe vera well.

At this time, you should pay attention to the problem of watering aloe vera, so when you first start to grow it, don't water it too much, as long as the soil in the pot is slightly moist.

When the roots of the aloe vera plant grow well, you can water it normally. However, be careful when watering, and do not allow water to accumulate at the roots, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

Water and fertilizer should be done properly

After growing aloe vera at home for a period of time, you need to water it regularly. Aloe vera can store some water in its leaves, so it is a very drought-resistant potted plant.

Moreover, the roots of aloe vera are fleshy, so similar to potted plants such as Clivia, do not water them too frequently during maintenance. Because such roots are more difficult to maintain, especially afraid of waterlogging, so flower lovers should water them according to the conditions of the flower soil.

In order to make the roots healthier, you should pay attention to ventilation when growing aloe vera, especially when watering. Choose to water in a ventilated environment, which is very good for the roots of aloe vera.

Aloe vera grows very fast, so it is recommended that flower lovers fertilize aloe vera regularly, with nitrogen fertilizer as the main fertilizer.

Potted plants like aloe vera prefer a fertile growing environment, so the aloe vera will grow faster and fuller after fertilization, but you should be careful to choose the method of applying thin fertilizers frequently to avoid damaging the roots of the aloe vera due to too much fertilizer.

Let aloe vera get more sun

Aloe vera plants grow well outdoors because they receive better light.

Aloe vera likes to bask in the sun, so flower lovers who grow aloe vera should remember to give the aloe vera potted plants at home enough sunlight. Especially for flower lovers who cannot grow aloe vera outdoors, they should place the aloe vera on a south-facing balcony.

Generally, it is necessary to ensure that aloe vera can get enough sunlight for more than 6 hours a day. Flower lovers who have been growing aloe vera for a long time will know this.

If the aloe vera can be exposed to enough sunlight, the aloe vera in your home will grow very fast, and the leaves will be beautiful in color , and will grow plump and full. On the contrary, if there is insufficient light, the leaves will become shriveled, and the aloe vera will grow very slowly.

Summary:

Pay attention to these when growing aloe vera, and the leaves of aloe vera will definitely grow full and easily sprout. Of course, it is not uncommon for aloe vera leaves to turn yellow.

If the old leaves have yellowing and dry tips, this is normal, and flower lovers can just remove the old leaves, because plants also have metabolism, and removing the old leaves will make the aloe vera grow better. In addition, although aloe vera likes sunlight, it still needs to be shaded when it is hot to avoid sunburn of the leaves.
