How long does it take for aloe vera cuttings to take root and sprout?

Aloe cutting rooting time

Cutting time : The best time to cut aloe is in spring, April and May. Aloe needs a proper temperature, generally above 20 degrees, so that it is easy to take root. If the temperature is below 20 degrees, it will take root slowly, and if it is below 10 degrees, it will not only fail to take root, but also be easily frozen to death.

Rooting time : Place the aloe vera cuttings in a warm, ventilated place with scattered light. Generally, the cuttings will take root and sprout in about a month.

Judging rooting : If the leaves of aloe vera have not withered one week after cuttings, it means that the plant has taken root and survived and can be kept alive.

Rooting and leaf growth : Aloe vera cuttings can grow leaves in about a month. They need to be kept at an appropriate temperature, generally above 20 degrees, to make it easier for aloe vera leaves to grow.

Aloe Vera Rooting Method

1. Time selection : When aloe cuttings are taken, the temperature should be kept at around 20 degrees, which is most suitable for rooting and growth. The best time is around April in spring. If the temperature is below 20 degrees, the survival rate of cuttings will decrease.

2. Cutting leaves : Proper aloe leaves are an important factor for cuttings. Choose an aloe plant that grows vigorously and choose strong leaves that are more than 8 cm long. Prepare a sterilized knife and cut the selected leaves.

3. Dry the incision : After the aloe leaf is cut, there will be juice on the incision, and it is difficult to take root in the soil. It needs to be placed aside to dry until a thin film grows on the cut surface.

4. Prepare the potting soil : Before cutting aloe, you need to choose the potting soil. The pot should be ventilated and have holes at the bottom for drainage. The soil should be loose and fertile sandy soil.

5. Cutting : Add soil to the aloe vera pot, insert the aloe vera leaves, and keep the leaves upright, do not let them fall down.

Aloe cutting management

1. After aloe vera cuttings, you can soak them in rooting water for disinfection for about two hours.

2. After the aloe vera has taken root, it can be exposed to the sun. After the aloe vera is cut, the aloe vera should be kept in a semi-shaded and ventilated environment and not exposed to strong light. Otherwise, the aloe vera will easily wither.

3. After the aloe vera has taken root, you can apply fertilizer. Use fermented rice water to supplement nutrients for the plant, or use fermented animal manure, peanut cake fertilizer, etc. to provide nutrients for the plant.

4. Water the aloe after cuttings. Water the potting soil after it is dry to make the soil slightly moist, but not waterlogged.
