How often should I water my aloe vera?

It is generally appropriate to water aloe vera every 7-10 days. Aloe vera is relatively drought-resistant and does not require much water. The climate in different seasons is different, so the frequency of watering is also different.

In spring and autumn, the plant grows vigorously and evaporation is fast, so it can be watered every 7 days or so. In summer, the temperature is high and water evaporates quickly, so it can be watered every 3-5 days. In winter, the temperature is low and water evaporates slowly, so it can be watered every 10-15 days.

The correct way to water aloe vera

1. It is recommended that you water the plants directly into the soil in the pot, and try not to water the leaves. If you see dust or dirt on the leaves, you can wipe them with a wet cloth.

2. When growing aloe vera in the summer, you can place the potted plants in a place with scattered light, but avoid direct sunlight. When watering, try to choose the cool early morning or afternoon. Watering at noon will easily cause root rot.

3. If you want to use domestic wastewater to irrigate aloe vera, try to make sure it is fully fermented, then add clean water and dilute it in a ratio of 1:10. At this time, watering can help replenish water and fertilizer.

Overwatering of Aloe Vera

If you water the aloe vera too much for a long time, it may have some adverse reactions, such as yellowing or rotting. At this time, the aloe vera has been seriously damaged and the treatment method is more troublesome.

First, you need to stop watering and let the aloe vera recover slowly. If the condition of the aloe vera does not improve, you need to take out the aloe vera and remove the rotten parts. Then place it in a dry and cool place for one or two days and then transplant it to dry soil. Be careful not to water it at this time, but you can spray a small amount of water to keep it moist.
