How to grow aloe vera into an old pile

1. Choose the right variety

There are many varieties of aloe vera, and different varieties have different characteristics. If you want to grow aloe vera into an old stump, it is recommended not to choose Aloe Vera rubra. This type of aloe vera plant is relatively large, and it will not look very good when grown into an old stump.

In addition to this type of aloe, other varieties can be used to make old piles. It is very simple to grow aloe into old piles, so let's take a look at how to do it.

2. Remove the bottom leaves

When planting aloe vera, you must use loose and breathable soil. When it is growing vigorously, you must promptly remove the leaves at the bottom to expose the bottom stem. In a ventilated and breathable environment, the stem of the aloe vera can become woody and grow into an old stump.

After this treatment, the stems will slowly grow out, and the leaves we pick can also be used for cuttings, with a very high survival rate, and one pot can easily become multiple pots. The most important thing about growing aloe vera is to make the stems woody.

3. The longer the stem, the thicker it becomes.

When caring for aloe vera, you can slowly remove the leaves at the bottom, so that there will be more stems and some new buds will grow at the bottom. It is not recommended to leave them. This can concentrate nutrients at the top of the plant, and the stems will grow thicker and look more special, and finally you will grow a very beautiful old pile of aloe vera .

Main points for the maintenance of old aloe vera piles

When caring for aloe vera, there must be sufficient light. If it is in an environment with insufficient light for a long time, the aloe vera will easily grow too tall and fall over, affecting its appearance. If it grows crooked, you can tie it up with a rope, which will make the aloe vera more upright.

Aloe vera is very drought-resistant and does not require much water. Do not water it frequently. If you water it too much, aloe vera is prone to waterlogging and black rot. During the growth period, you can add compound fertilizer 1-2 times a month, so that the growth will be more vigorous. It is recommended to use flower fertilizer with more nitrogen fertilizer, so that the aloe vera leaves are thick and grow into small old piles.
