When to divide aloe vera

1. Division time

If you want to divide aloe vera, you can choose to do it in spring, summer and autumn. If it is done in spring, it should be done in March or April, and in autumn and winter it can be done in September or October. However, it is best to do it around April to June, as the temperature at this time is more suitable for the growth of aloe vera, and it will be easier to survive after division.

2. Division method

1. Remove from the pot: The first step in division is to remove the aloe vera from the original pot. This step seems simple, but it is actually very difficult. If the roots of the plant are accidentally damaged, not only will the growth of the mother plant be affected, but the small plants planted will also find it difficult to survive. Before dividing the plant, stop watering and wait until the soil is slightly dry, then hold the plant and remove it from the pot.

2. Division: Use scissors or your hands to cut off the side buds next to the mother plant. It is best if the separated small plants have some roots. In this way, the survival rate will be higher after planting.

3. Potting: Place the cut side buds in a well-ventilated place to dry, prepare breathable nutrient soil, spray water appropriately, plant the side buds in, and fix them.
