What are the cultivation methods and precautions for water-grown aloe vera?

Aloe vera growth habits

Aloe likes to grow in permeable and breathable soil. It likes light but is not resistant to sunlight. The environment where it is located should have sufficient scattered light, so that it can grow faster. It is drought-resistant. It is better to keep the soil dry at ordinary times. Increase the amount of watering appropriately during the growing season. It has high temperature requirements and is not cold-resistant. It needs to be well controlled after winter. Low temperature will cause frostbite. In addition, it is a fleshy foliage plant, but if it is properly managed, it will also bloom, and the flowers have certain ornamental value.

How to grow aloe vera in water

Water quality: Although aloe vera is a very easy plant to grow, if you want it to grow well, you still have to ensure that its water quality is clean. If there are impurities, you must change the water immediately. The depth of the water is generally 3-5 cm above the roots of the aloe vera. When the water level drops, you must add water immediately.

Light: Place the planted aloe vera in a place away from sunlight for a period of time. Keep it in a dark environment, which is conducive to the growth of the root system. After the roots grow out, maintain it with scattered light.

Temperature: For aloe vera kept indoors, try to keep the temperature above 5 degrees, because below 5 degrees, it will stop growing. The most suitable growth temperature is between 15 and 35 degrees.

Nutrient solution: When it grows roots and adapts to the hydroponic environment, use nutrient solution to maintain it, once a month.

Precautions for growing aloe vera in water

Don't use mixed water: When growing it at home, many people like to pour tea water or rice water into the flower pot, but this is not allowed for hydroponics. It is best to use clean water for hydroponics, and you should also pay attention to changing the water frequently, preferably once every 2 to 3 days. During this period, you should also remove rotten roots in time and clean the container to ensure clean water quality.

Replace the nutrient solution on time: After some time of hydroponics, it will grow fibrous roots, and at this time it needs certain nutrients to supply its growth, so we can add an appropriate amount of nutrient solution according to the situation, and replace it every half a month or a month.
