Precautions for caring for aloe vera, is aloe vera ornamental?

1. Maintenance precautions

1. Suitable light: When caring for aloe vera, pay attention to the light and provide sufficient scattered light. Be careful not to lack sunlight. Long-term growth in a place without light will lead to weak growth and poor leaf development. The light in summer is too strong and needs to be blocked at noon.

2. Potting soil requirements: Potting soil is also a very important factor. The flowerpot must be breathable and not too large. Use breathable and loose soil. Do not use soil with poor drainage and air permeability, otherwise it will cause the roots to breathe poorly and even rot and die. The plant needs to be repotted once a year to provide fresh nutritious soil.

3. Temperature requirements: The most suitable growth temperature for breeding is around 5-15℃, and it should be moved indoors in the winter in the north.

4. Proper watering: Aloe vera is very drought-resistant, and not watering for a short period of time will not affect its growth. You can maintain the principle of watering when the soil is dry and then watering when it is wet. Be sure not to water too much and do not allow water to accumulate.

5. Reasonable fertilization: Before planting in pots, apply a little base fertilizer. Apply reasonable fertilization during the later growth period, and you can use ordinary compound fertilizer.

6. Prevention and control of diseases and pests: Pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and pests during the breeding process, and provide timely treatment upon discovery.
