How to transplant aloe vera

Transplantation method

Seedling transplanting

Aloe vera can be transplanted in the seedling stage. When the aloe vera is about 5-8 cm long, it can be cut and planted in moist and dark soil for about 3-5 days. The planting temperature should be suitable so that the aloe vera can take root. Aloe vera cannot be transplanted in winter. The growth ability of aloe vera in the seedling stage is weak, so the survival rate of transplantation in winter is low. It can be transplanted in the other three seasons except winter.

Multi-year transplant

Small aloe vera will also grow from the roots of perennial aloe vera. The transplanting method is very simple. Just use a knife to dig the seedlings together with the soil from the pot and transplant them into a prepared pot. Keeping the soil in the pot moist can greatly increase the survival rate of aloe vera.

Breeding precautions

1. Aloe vera should be transplanted in spring and autumn.

2. The best time to transplant aloe vera is in the evening on a sunny day.

3. If the aloe vera you are cultivating grows new roots, do not damage the roots, remove part of the soil on the outside, and replace it with new soil. The new soil should be loose, breathable and have good drainage. After changing the potting soil, place it in a semi-shaded and ventilated place for maintenance, and then increase the light exposure to the plant according to the changing temperature.

4. Watering should be done only when the soil is dry, and fertilization should be light, otherwise the aloe vera will rot and die. Generally, it is sufficient to water once every 5-10 days.
