Aloe

The first association when pronouncing the name of this plant is, of course, healing properties and everything related to healing. Indeed, aloe leaves have long been used by man as an anti-inflammatory and tonic. But on this page we will talk about the care and reproduction of this plant.

Aloe (popularly - agave) belongs to the genus of succulents from Africa and has more than two hundred and even more species. He loves a lot of light, but for him, as for other indoor flowers, being in direct sunlight is very undesirable. The usual aloe has fleshy spike-like leaves. But, despite the moist pulp, the plant needs moderate watering as the earth dries, and even less in winter.

In the standard growth period for flowers (from April to October), watering is done with water eight degrees warmer than the air temperature in the room. Water that has drained into the pan should not remain there - it must be drained.

Charcoal and a drainage layer are added to the soil for succulents. It should be fed with a fertilizer specially designed for succulents once every two weeks during the growing season. But there are also many other factors here: young sprouts and specimens planted in special soil are fed up quite rarely.

Aloe reproduction

Usually - cuttings, but possibly seeds. When propagating by cuttings, after cutting, they need to be dried a little (up to three days), then planted in wet sand to a depth of cm and hardly watered until rooting. Young plants are then planted in soil consisting of soddy and leafy soil, as well as sand.

While the plants are young, they are transplanted annually.
