We raised aloe in June. If there is something wrong with the maintenance method, the leaves of aloe will become dry and scorched, or even the roots will rot. Generally speaking, there are four reasons for the poor growth of aloe vera. As long as we take good care of these four aspects, aloe vera can also grow well with strong leaves. So how do we do it?
(1) Proper shading
Aloe belongs to the flower that likes sunshine, and can also grow in semi-shaded environment, fearing strong sunlight. After entering June, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and the sunshine is getting stronger and stronger. In this case, if Aloe vera is kept in sufficient sunshine, the leaves of Aloe vera will appear sunburned spots, and the leaves will become dry and scorched, and the color of the leaves will turn yellow-green, and the ornamental value will be greatly discounted. So how do we expose aloe to sunlight in summer?
Illumination suggestion
Our country is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources. Different places have different temperatures and different intensities of light. Now, taking Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province where Sister Rong is located as an example, how does Aloe shine in the sun in June?
After entering June every year, especially during the solar term of awning, the temperature is the highest and the sunshine is the strongest here. In this case, we can give aloe proper shade, such as building a sunshade net, or placing it under the shade or under the arbor, which can play a shading role.
Aloe vera cultivated indoors can be kept on the east and west balconies, as long as it is not exposed to the strong sunlight at noon.
(2) Drought tolerance and waterlogging tolerance
Aloe leaves are thick, and there is a lot of water stored in them. Even if aloe is pulled down and left for about ten days, aloe will not die, which shows that aloe has strong drought tolerance. If you water too much, the flowerpot will accumulate water for a long time, or the soil will be sticky and wet for a long time, the root system of aloe will be prone to problems, which will lead to the root rot of aloe.
Watering suggestion
We water aloe vera in June, and it is best to wait until the soil is dry, that is, we often say that it is dry and watered thoroughly. Also, water aloe vera. Don't water it half. It's best to wait until the soil is dry. This will help the root system of aloe vera grow and the leaves will become hypertrophy.
When there is rainy season, we can put aloe in a shelter from the rain to prevent it from being prone to high temperature and high humidity under high temperature after water accumulates in the soil of aloe. If there is stagnant water, it is necessary to remove the stagnant water in the flowerpot in time and then put it in a well-ventilated environment.
(3) ventilation should be done well
The temperature is very high in June. After watering aloe, it is prone to high temperature and high humidity, especially in the environment with poor indoor ventilation. In this case, aloe is not only prone to root rot, but also prone to pests and diseases.
Ventilation suggestion
When the temperature is high in June, it is necessary to ventilate aloe, especially the aloe cultivated indoors. It is necessary to open the window frequently to ventilate and let the air convection, so as to be conducive to the growth of aloe and avoid diseases or rotten roots.
(3) like micro-fertilizer
Aloe is not a flower that likes fertilizer, but in order to make the roots of aloe more vigorous and the leaves thicker, we can fertilize aloe during the vigorous growth period. What kind of fertilizer should I use?
Fertilization suggestion
During the growth period of aloe, we not only need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also like micro-fertilizers. During the vigorous growth period of aloe, we can apply thin and decomposed cake fertilizer, chicken manure, compost or earthworm manure to aloe once every 30 days, which is very good. When applying fertilizer to aloe vera, we must make it thin to prevent the root from burning.
tag
Raising aloe in June, taking good care of "four aspects", the roots are strong and the leaves are fat and growing well. The four aspects we are talking about should be shaded appropriately to prevent the sun from being too strong; Pot soil is dry and not wet, so don't let the soil be too wet for a long time, let alone accumulate water; Do a good job of ventilation to prevent the environment from being closed and high temperature and humidity; Apply micro-fertilizer during the vigorous growth period, and do the above well. In June, aloe can also grow well with strong roots and rich leaves.
