How to deal with withered aloe leaves

1. Normal maintenance

(1) Specific reason: This may be normal. When the plant is metabolizing at certain times, some leaves may wither, but the number will not be too large. Observe the number of leaves and see if only a small number of them are dry.

(2) Solution: No special measures are needed at this time, normal maintenance will be sufficient. After a while, the plant will return to normal.

2. Supplement water appropriately

(1) Specific reason: Aloe vera grows more vigorously in spring and summer, especially when the evaporation rate is relatively high. If there is a lack of water, the leaves will easily wither.

(2) Solution: In spring and summer, water the plants more appropriately. After autumn, gradually reduce the amount of watering.

3. Replace the soil or loosen the soil

(1) Specific reasons: The soil is not suitable, or the soil has not been loosened for a long time, resulting in poor air permeability and the leaves are prone to withering.

(2) Solution: You can first try to loosen the soil to improve its aeration. If that doesn't work, then you need to change the soil.

4. Prevent and treat diseases

(1) Specific cause: It may be leaf blight, which is prone to occur from July to October. Symptoms are more severe on the lower leaves. It often occurs when the temperature is high, the humidity is high, and the ventilation is poor.

(2) Solution: Remove the diseased leaves to prevent the disease from spreading. Then, spray some Bordeaux mixture or carbendazim.
