Aloe vera division propagation technology, division time

1. Division propagation technology

1. Select the plant: Aloe vera grows very fast, so some larger plants will have small side buds growing next to them, and these small side buds can be used to divide the plant. Although some plants have small side buds, they are not yet mature and no roots have grown underneath them, so you should choose plants with mature side buds and then take them out of the pots.

2. Break off the side buds: Pinch the place where the side buds are connected to the root system with your hands, and gently break them off. Try not to break off small side buds. After breaking off the side buds, do not plant them in pots immediately. Place them aside to dry in the sun first to allow the wounds to dry.

3. Prepare the soil: The flowerpot you use at the beginning does not need to be too large. The soil can be a mixture of garden soil, leaf mold, and fine sand, but not too much.

4. Planting in pots: Add soil into the pot, plant the side buds in it, comb the roots, and then slowly cover them with soil. Cover the roots with soil, press it lightly, place it under diffuse light after planting, water it thoroughly in time, maintain a warm climate, and it will take root in about 1-2 weeks.

2. Time of division

The best time for division is generally March in spring, when the surrounding climate is suitable and it is easier for the plants to survive.
