How to maintain aloe vera in winter?

Aloe vera is afraid of freezing, not cold-resistant, and has strict requirements on temperature. When the temperature is lower than 5℃, its growth will stagnate, so if there is heating indoors, potted aloe can be moved indoors for the winter.

If the temperature of aloe can't be above 5℃ in winter, we should take measures to keep warm. We can dig a rectangular hole, put the potted aloe in A in into the pit, cover it with bamboo pieces and seal it with double plastic film. If the temperature is too low at night, we can cover it with a quilt or straw mat, and expose the film in time for ventilation at noon during the day.

Method for maintain aloe in winter

1, water

When the weather is cold, you can reduce the number of times to water aloe, or you can keep the basin dry without watering. It is recommended to water once every 0/5-20 days. If the indoor air is dry, you can properly spray water on the leaves, which can not only remove the dust on the leaves, but also reduce the evaporation of water, which is conducive to keeping the leaves green.

Step 2 apply fertilizer

Aloe grows slowly in winter, so it is best not to apply fertilizer, because the roots of plants can't absorb it, which will cause fertilizer damage.

Potted aloe can be topdressed every 40-50 days if it is maintained indoors in cold winter. Usually, the concentration of urea solution should not exceed 2%, and the concentration of foliar fertilizer should not exceed 0. 1%, so that it can grow more vigorously.

3. Lighting equipment

Aloe needs enough light to grow. Aloe needs very good lighting conditions when it blooms. It must have four hours of light every day, and the sunshine at this time is soft and won't burn.

Step 4 bask in the sun

Aloe vera should see more sunshine in winter, which can be placed in a place sheltered from the wind and sunny, or on a balcony facing south. In addition, a transparent plastic bag is placed outside the plant to increase the temperature and humidity.
