Aloe vera can not only green the environment, but also able to purify the air, is very much subject to the environment of the potted plants, aloe vera is better to raise potted plants, but there are many friends can not raise a long time to die, there will also be? The head is heavy and the feet are light? The situation, looking with the same as the futile growth. Aloe vera is a very easy to feed the plant, but want to raise and thick and strong, or need to spend a little effort, in the maintenance of aloe vera, avoid not watering too much, there can not be water in the pot, otherwise it is easy to lead to leaf rot, withered.

Environment:

Temperature, light Aloe vera likes light, it is best to be placed outdoors in a ventilated and well-lit place, but in the hot summer should be properly shaded, winter should be placed in a place higher than 5 ℃ sunny place can be safe over winter. Usually the maintenance of the location is best in the balcony, at least to have sufficient diffused light. Some people may say a sun aloe vera on the dry, can not sun can not sun, here flowers to remind, give aloe vera light to slowly increase its light time, so that it is little by little to adapt to, just like a long time in the dark people have to adapt to the light little by little, when the light is too strong in the summer can be appropriate shade.

Watering:

In watering, we have to think about the original growth environment of aloe vera, is in the desert very arid place, so this plant is very drought-resistant, want to let it grow strong, do not often keep the soil moist, never water, or it may rot the roots. To artificially create a simulation of its growing environment, do not curb its nature, not too good to it, there may be an unexpected surprise. Watering Aloe vera is afraid of long-term stagnant water, the soil is too wet due to the lack of oxygen at the roots and rot and die, usually spray or drizzle to the leaves, keep slightly wet can be, to be potting soil over dry watering. Winter dormant more to keep the soil dry, otherwise in the low temperature and humid environment is very easy to rot the roots and leaves.

Soil:

Soil is best to choose a well-drained, loose soil that is not easily knotted, adding some humus is even better, choosing this kind of loose and breathable soil can largely avoid the plant from rotting due to watering too much stagnant water. You can apply some fermented organic fertilizer, as appropriate. Soil ratios, local materials: 1 part of field soil, 2 parts of river sand, 2 parts of furnace ash slag, 2 parts of rotting leaf soil, mixed. You can also mix some coir soil and so on. Sterilization and de-worming in the sun and then used. This ratio is conducive to the growth of the root system, loose and breathable, good drainage, the root system is not easy to rot.

Fertilizer:

Fertilizer, as long as it is normal growth are going to give it additional fertilizer, the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, it will appear a slow growth or dormant stage, as long as the temperature is about 15 degrees, normal watering normal fertilization can be, planting aloe vera basically do not have to apply any fertilizer, you can apply every six months a rotted organic fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer, chicken manure, Compost, etc., but if the aloe vera really grows yellow and weak, you can apply a little nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer.

Summary: Aloe vera likes sufficient light, warm and dry growing environment, drought-resistant, semi-shade-resistant, but not cold-resistant, not water-logging, especially afraid of long-term waterlogging of the soil, so the usual maintenance must be placed in the location of the sun, if the light is insufficient, will lead to Aloe vera leaves thinner and thinner, more and more narrow. It is recommended to use a loose, fertile, well-drained substrate when planting Aloe Vera. If the soil is too poor and not fertilized during the growing season, the lower leaves of Aloe Vera will dry out and become thinner and more curled. The most easily accessible substrate for planting aloe vera is rotting soil + garden soil + coarse river sand particles, configured in accordance with the ratio of 3:2:5, you can let the aloe vera leaves grow fat and thick, and the color is green and green.
