What soil is suitable for growing aloe vera?

Soil for aloe vera

Aloe vera does not like acidic soil or alkaline soil. The most suitable soil for growing aloe vera is close to neutral soil. During the transplanting process, it is suitable to use loose soil mixed with peat soil and gravel, which can minimize damage to the roots.

Aloe vera can be cultivated in ordinary soil, but it may not grow rapidly in this soil. Compared with ordinary soil, planting in nutrient soil is a better choice. Aloe vera can achieve the best growth state in this nutrient-rich sandy soil.

Aloe vera soil preparation method

1. Nutrient soil

To prepare the most suitable nutrient soil for aloe vera, you need to use sand as the base, and add perlite, peat soil and humus on top.

2. Aloe Vera Planting

When planting aloe vera, be careful not to fertilize frequently. The aloe vera plant itself contains a lot of water. If the fertilizer concentration is too high, it will cause the soil to absorb water and cause the plant to lose water.

Aloe Vera Potting Soil

1. Soil placement: First place a layer of sandy mixed humus and gravel in the pot.

2. Watering: After planting aloe vera, water it immediately with plenty of water. Aloe vera requires a lot of water, so this can help the plant survive.
