How to maintain aloe vera?

Now most people can see aloe at home more or less, because it is simple and easy to feed, so it is loved by everyone. There are many kinds of aloe, such as China aloe, wood blade aloe, Cura? ao aloe and the city that never sleeps. Aloe used in industrial production is mostly Cura? ao Aloe, which is native to Cura? ao Island in South America. It is the most widely planted and widely used aloe variety at present. The aloe vera that we usually see most in our home fields is Aloe sinensis and Aloe vera that never sleeps. They are also used as ornamental potted plants.

If you keep aloe outdoors in the hot and humid south, you don't need to take care of it. Aloe vera can naturally grow normally in the southern environment. If you keep it indoors, you can water it every ten days and a half months. Aloe needs to be kept in a well-lit place, otherwise it is easy to have yellow leaves and water accumulation. Aloe itself is rich in water, and it will rot easily if watered too much. Therefore, attention should be paid to maintaining the frequency when watering, or you can wait until the soil in the basin is dry before watering.

If it is dry and cold season in the north, how should aloe be maintained? First of all, we should know that aloe is not cold-resistant, and it is very easy to get frostbite when the temperature is too low. Therefore, planting in northern autumn and winter should be moved indoors. And in these seasons, in order to avoid frostbite, the roots should stop watering. In summer, the watering frequency can be appropriately increased and thoroughly watered once a week to ensure that there is no water in the basin soil, otherwise aloe will rot easily.

Another key to keeping aloe well is light. The optimum growth temperature of aloe vera is 15-35℃, so spring and summer are the most prosperous seasons of aloe vera. Give enough light, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and brown. Potted plants planted indoors can be moved to the sunny windowsill or placed outdoors to be baptized by the sun. When the temperature is low in winter, you can also go outdoors in sunny weather and receive 2-3 hours of light. Remember to move back in time to avoid aloe frostbite.
