Light: Aloe vera needs sufficient light to grow, not too dark. Soil: The pot soil should be loose, permeable and drainable, and preferably have sufficient fertility. Moisture: It is better to be dry than wet, dry thoroughly and water thoroughly, and there should be no stagnant water. Temperature: Give it a growing environment of 5-25℃ and can tolerate freezing temperatures for a short period of time. In addition, the occurrence of diseases and insect pests must be prevented in time. When new shoots sprout, the plant shape can be adjusted by topping.

1. Lighting

1. Light

Aloe vera needs sufficient light to grow. It cannot tolerate shade and must be cultivated in a full light environment.

2. Soil

Aloe vera requires loose potting soil, strong water permeability and drainage ability, and does not require too high fertility of the potting soil. Of course, it is better to have sufficient fertility. No It can grow even with little or no fertility.

3. Moisture

Aloe Vera Care It needs to be dry rather than wet, dry thoroughly and water thoroughly. Because it is a succulent plant, it has a certain water-holding capacity and is relatively drought-resistant, but it is afraid of water accumulation.

4. Temperature

The room temperature for aloe vera growth is between 5 and 25 degrees. It can tolerate short-term freezing, but long-term freezing will cause cold damage.

5. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

Maintenance Poor ventilation will cause hazards such as red spider mites and scale insects, as well as leaf spot and anthracnose. Prevention and control should be carried out as soon as possible when it occurs. For example, scale insects should be wiped off when they first occur. For red spider mites, appropriate acaricides should be used. For diseases, it is recommended to spray more protective fungicides when the seasons change.

6. Precautions

1 , It is not recommended to use an overly large pot for aloe vera maintenance, as long as the pot is suitable, because its root system is not particularly strong. Water management in an overly large pot is difficult to control, and it is easy to cause water accumulation and root rot.

2. Aloe vera needs sufficient light. A dark environment will cause the leaves to become elongated, the leaves to become thin, and the plant shape to be disordered.

3. When aloe vera sprouts new shoots, you can adjust its plant shape by topping. Especially some plants with relatively long branches need to be pruned to make the plant shape grow fuller and prevent the columns from being too disordered and causing lodging. .
