1. Pot soil preparation: River sand, field mud and humus are mixed evenly according to the ratio of 2: 4: 4, and the humus can be compost leaves, straw and sawdust.

2. Planting on the pot: put two thirds of the soil into the pot, then put the seedlings, spread the roots, put the remaining pot soil, and slightly compact the soil.

3. watering and fertilizing: after planting, a small amount of fixed-root water should be poured, and water should be poured every 7-1 days after taking the pot, and nitrogen fertilizer should be applied every 15 days or so.

4. management: do a good job in temperature control, light supply and basin change.

1. Cultivation methods

1. Pot soil preparation

(1) River sand, field mud and humus are evenly mixed according to the ratio of 2: 4: 4, so that soil with water and fertilizer retention, strong air permeability and moderate acidity and alkalinity can be prepared.

(2) The humus can be leaves, straw, sawdust, etc. after fermentation or composting, and the preparation materials can be appropriately adjusted without affecting the fertilizer, water and air permeability of the pot soil.

2. Plant the upper pot

(1) Fill the pot with 2/3 soil, then add seedlings, stretch the roots, and fill the remaining pot soil. At this time, gently lift the plants upward, and then slightly compact the soil.

(2) After planting, irrigate a small amount of root-fixing water, and move the flowerpot to a shady place, and then move it to a sunny place after the plant begins to grow.

(3) Shading measures should be taken in summer. Aloe vera in seedling stage is sensitive to sunlight.

3. Water and fertilize

(1) During the breeding period, water is poured every 7-1 days to keep the soil slightly moist.

(2) topdressing nitrogen fertilizer once every 15 days or so can promote the vigorous growth of plants. The principle of fertilization is to apply thin fertilizer frequently to avoid root burning caused by excessive fertilizer.

4. Temperature control and light supply

(1) The optimum temperature and humidity for the growth of Aloe vera are 15-35℃ and 45-85%.

(2) Aloe vera is afraid of cold. When the temperature drops to about 5℃, it stops growing; when it drops to ℃, its life process will be hindered; when it drops below ℃, it will be frostbitten.

(3) When the plant is planted, it only needs to be exposed to light every morning, and it can be exposed to light normally after about 1-15 days.

2. Precautions

1. Aloe vera should not grow in hardened soil. Soil with poor drainage and air permeability will cause root respiration to be blocked or rot and necrosis.

2. When there is too much sandy soil, it is not suitable to plant Aloe vera, because water and nutrients will be excessively lost, which will make the plants grow poorly.

3. During the breeding period, the pots should be changed every 1-2 years, and loose and fertile new soil with good drainage should be used, and a proper amount of peat+humus soil can be added to the soil to increase fertility.

4. When changing pots, it is necessary to cut off the old roots and rotten roots on the plants.
