How to grow aloe outdoors in winter

1. Adequate light

When caring for aloe vera outdoors in winter, the temperature is relatively low, so it is important to provide adequate light supplementation. Place it where it can be directly exposed to sunlight on a daily basis to increase its own temperature through contact with sunlight, thus reducing the possibility of frostbite.

2. Put on plastic bag

To prevent the plants from being exposed to cold weather, you can cover them with a transparent plastic bag to keep them out of the cold without affecting the sunlight. If the temperature is relatively low, you can consider putting on a double layer, but when the sun is strong at noon, you need to open the plastic bag to let in air. Otherwise, when the sun shines, the temperature in the plastic bag will rise and cause damage to the plants.

3. Control watering

The growth rate is slower in winter and there is not much demand for water. In cold climates, watering should be controlled. You cannot water it all at once. You can water it every 20 days, or simply not water it, and try to ensure that the soil in the pot is dry.

4. Supplemental fertilizer

Before entering winter in late autumn, sufficient fertilizer should be applied to improve its resistance and enable it to cope with the cold winter climate.
