Aloe vera repotting steps, what are the precautions

1. Steps for changing pots

1. Remove the plant: Aloe vera needs to be repotted after 1-2 years. It grows very fast and can grow a lot after a period of time, so it needs to be repotted in time. Before repotting the aloe vera, you must first prepare a flower shovel and move it around the pot to loosen the soil inside. Pay attention to coordination, hold the edge of the pot with one hand, and carefully take the aloe vera out of the pot with the other hand. Move slowly and carefully so as not to damage the main root system.

2. Proper pruning: After taking out the aloe vera plant, it cannot be planted directly in a new pot. Because it has grown for a long time, the root system will be relatively messy. You need to carefully trim some of it and remove the rotten roots. Some yellow leaves also need to be removed.

3. Prepare the soil: Aloe vera needs new soil after repotting. It can be prepared by mixing leaf mold, peat soil, coarse sand and base fertilizer. Such soil should not only be loose but also nutritious.

4. Planting in a pot: Prepare a flowerpot that is slightly larger than the previous one. The size is mainly determined by the size of the aloe plant itself. Fill it with some soil and then plant the aloe in it.

2. Precautions

Do not water the aloe vera before repotting it. Keep it relatively dry to facilitate repotting.
