Aloe vera is a perennial evergreen herb belonging to the monocotyledonous plant class and the Asphodeloides family. It has a rich variety of species, some of which have broad leaves, some can bloom, and some have small plants. Whether it is Aloe barbadensis, Aloe arborescens, Aloe nobilis or Aloe arborescens, these varieties are known for their easy care, drought resistance and tenacious vitality. Placing a pot of aloe vera at home can not only purify the air and absorb harmful gases, but its leaves also have multiple uses. The versatility of aloe vera makes it a great choice as a home plant for both beauty and practicality. So how can we grow aloe vera more vigorously in summer? 1. Reasonably adjust the light Aloe vera does love sunlight, but that doesn’t mean it needs long periods of direct light during the summer. Strong summer sunlight may cause aloe vera leaves to shrivel. Therefore, in summer, avoid exposing aloe vera to direct sunlight. It is recommended to place aloe vera in a shaded place, such as under a large potted plant , to avoid direct exposure to the sun while ensuring that it gets enough light to prevent the leaves from being sunburned or shriveled. 2. Replenish water in time The high temperature in summer will accelerate the evaporation of water. Aloe vera's demand for water increases at this time. Lack of water will cause the leaves to shrink and wither. If you find that the aloe vera is shriveled, first move it to a semi-shaded place, then gradually increase the amount of watering, and avoid watering it thoroughly at one time to prevent excessive moisture. With proper hydration, the aloe vera will gradually rejuvenate. After that, water regularly as needed to promote healthy growth. 3. Supplement nutrients appropriately When there are not enough nutrients in the soil to support the growth of aloe vera, it may also cause its leaves to shrivel. Although aloe vera may enter a semi-dormant state in summer, it still needs nutrients within a suitable temperature range (25-35 degrees). Before fertilizing, make sure the soil has good air permeability, then apply an appropriate amount of fertilizer and dilute it with clean water. After about a month, the growth condition of the aloe vera will be significantly improved and the leaves will become thicker. In short, aloe vera, as a very hardy plant, is actually very easy to grow. During the high temperatures in summer, all you need to do is pay attention to the above points.
