After she cut the aloe vera in half, it grew into a huge bunch of tiny babies, and the pot couldn't hold them all!

Cut off the head and graft it, at worst you can start over

1. Beheading

First of all, we need to prepare the tools for killing. For example, Huahua uses a large kitchen knife at home. It must be disinfected before use.

Choose a good location to cut off, such as a crooked or rotten place. If the aloe vera is cut next to the leaves, we need to peel off a few leaves from the bottom of the plant, because its roots grow from the petiole of the stem!

2. Dry the roots

After cutting off the head, place the aloe vera in a cool place to dry the roots. Generally, the roots need to be dried for more than a week. Wait until the cut is completely dry and wrinkled before putting it in the pot. Don't worry that it will dry out and die. It is normal for the roots to turn slightly red.

3. Soil

If you don’t change the potting soil now, when will you? You can choose garden soil or humus soil and add a small amount of coal slag. If the soil is freshly dug from the wild, don't forget to expose it to the sun for a few days to sterilize and kill insects.

4. Put it in the basin

When replanting, it is best to use moist soil for the pot, which means that it can be formed into a ball when held in the hand and will fall apart when touched. After the aloe vera is potted and planted, place it where it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. Never water it again. Wait until the soil is dry before watering it again.

5. Management

Because the seedlings need to take root again, it will take a longer time to acclimate. When we observe that the plants are recovering their growth, we can gradually increase the light.

So don’t give up on aloe vera with rotten roots. You can revive it using the method taught by Huahua! And because it has new roots, it will only grow better. In addition to flower lovers who want to grow old trees, we can also use this method to correct aloe vera that grows crooked.

Don't be too nice to it, it will grow taller.

1. Lighting

It is best to place the aloe vera at home on the balcony to ensure at least sufficient diffuse light. Aloe vera also needs sunlight to grow strong. When the light is too strong in summer, you can provide appropriate shade.

Huahua reminds: If your aloe vera has been in an environment with poor lighting for a long time, we cannot suddenly move it to a place with strong light. We must slowly increase its light intensity and time to allow it to adapt to the environment little by little. Otherwise, it will easily be dried into aloe vera!

2. Moisture

Many aloe vera plants in flower lovers' homes have died due to root rot, so when caring for aloe vera, it is better to keep the soil in the pot dry and avoid water accumulation. Don't be too nice to it, and you may get an unexpected surprise.

3. Soil and fertilizer

Huahua has already talked about the soil. In fact, as long as the potting soil is loose, breathable and well-drained, it can largely avoid waterlogging and root rot caused by excessive watering.

In terms of fertilizer, you can apply some fermented organic fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer and chicken manure.
