Watering principlesGrowth habitAloe vera is relatively drought-resistant and is afraid of waterlogging. If the soil in the pot is too moist, the aloe vera leaves will shrink, the roots will rot, and even die. However, aloe vera needs sufficient watering during its growth period. If you want the aloe vera leaves to be green, thick and full of vitality, appropriate watering is of utmost importance. Therefore, aloe vera needs to be watered, and the humidity of the aloe vera growth environment should be kept between 45%-85%. Watering timeHow often do you need to water aloe vera? This depends on the season. Generally, watering is required frequently in summer, once every 2-3 days, and you can also spray water on the aloe vera every morning and evening; in spring and autumn, watering once a week is sufficient; in winter, water as little as possible, once every half a month, and the soil should be kept dry. Watering tips for all seasonsSpring WateringIn spring, watering is generally done once every 5 to 7 days, and watering can be done in the morning. If there is a rainy season in spring, the watering interval can be appropriately extended. Summer wateringThe characteristics of summer are high temperature and large evaporation, so watering is necessary frequently, once every 2-3 days. Watering should be done in the evening in summer. Never water in the morning as this can easily cause burns. In summer, you can also spray water on aloe vera frequently to lower the temperature. Fall WateringThe watering techniques in autumn are similar to those in spring. Water once every 5 to 7 days, and then water again after the soil is dry. Water thoroughly to avoid waterlogging in the pot soil. Winter WateringWatering is less frequent in winter, generally once every 15-20 days, and the watering time should be chosen at noon when the temperature is higher. Some people also advocate not watering in winter and keeping the soil in the pot dry, which is more conducive to aloe vera surviving the winter. Watering precautionsWatering amount and methodAloe vera needs sufficient water during its growth period, and the soil in the pot must be kept moist. Water cannot accumulate in the pot, otherwise it will be harmful to the root system, so watering must be moderate. When watering aloe vera, be careful not to water from the top of the plant. Instead, water from the side or roots of the aloe vera plant. You can also water gently along the edge of the pot, but be careful not to water too hard to avoid compacting the soil in the pot. When watering aloe vera, be careful not to let water get on the leaves to avoid damaging them. Other pointsWhen watering aloe vera, it is best to use rainwater or river water. Because tap water contains chloride, long-term use of it is not conducive to the growth of aloe vera. Some people also use magnetized water for watering, which can promote the development of aloe vera's root system, making it grow rapidly and its leaves green. Aloe vera is very afraid of waterlogging in the soil. If waterlogging lasts too long, it will cause root rot, leaf rot, and even death of the entire plant. Generally, it is best to keep the soil moisture content at 50%-60%. |
