The leaves are 50 to 80 centimeters long and a single leaf weighs about 500 grams. Therefore, the flowerpot should be larger, with a diameter of 25 to 30 centimeters. Chinese aloe vera and arborvitae aloe vera plants are small, and the diameter of the flower pot is about 20 cm. You can also use small flower pots when planting, and then transfer to larger flower pots when the aloe vera plants grow to be asymmetrical with the flower pots.
2. Pot soil configuration
The pot soil suitable for aloe vera growth must have functions such as fertilizer retention, water retention, drainage, and ventilation, and the pH should be neutral. Materials commonly used to prepare potting soil include field mud, garden, skin humus (humus refers to fermented and retting fallen leaves, straw, sawdust, etc.), river sand or coal ash. The preparation method is that the ratio of field (river) mud, humus, and river sand (or coal ash) is 4:4:2 respectively. The preparation method is based on local material sources and does not affect the potting soil's need for fertilizer, water, and air. Make appropriate changes.

After the aloe vera begins to grow, move it to a sunny place. . Efficacy and function of aloe vera cultivation method 2
1. Aloe vera cultivation method
1. Soil: The pot soil for cultivating aloe vera should have good properties of drainage, water retention, air permeability and fertilizer storage. , Soil with poor drainage and air permeability will cause root respiration to be blocked, root rot and necrosis, but too much sandy soil will often cause the loss of water and nutrients, causing poor growth of aloe vera. The commonly used potting soil formula is: the ratio of humus, garden loam, and river sand is 2:2:1. Sawdust or cooked coal ash can also be used instead of river sand. In addition, the soil can be disinfected and sterilized before planting.
2. Choose a pot: It is best to use mud pots for potted aloe vera. Porcelain pots and plastic pots are not suitable because they have poor air permeability and are prone to root rot. Before using a new pot, it should be soaked with water. Otherwise, it will not be easy to water the pot after placing it in the pot. The semi-dry and semi-wet pot walls will damage the new roots.
3. Seedling selection: Seedling selection is also the key to aloe vera cultivation. Strong aloe vera seedlings should have short and thick leaves, dark green color, and more than four self-generated roots.
4. Potting: Potting is to put the seeds into the pot. Potting should be done in spring and summer. It is not suitable to pot in winter. The temperature is too low, which is not conducive to the occurrence of new roots. Before placing the pot, you can place a piece of broken tile on the bottom of the pot and press it on the permeable hole in the bottom of the pot, which can maintain drainage without leaking the pot soil. When potting, first place the aloe vera seedlings in the center of the pot.
Try to let the root system stretch as much as possible. After filling the soil to cover the roots, gently lift the seedling upward and compact it slightly so that the roots are in close contact with the pot soil up, down, left, and right, and then add pot soil to the height of the pot. Keep the edge of the pot 2-3 cm long, and try to straighten the seedlings as much as possible. Finally, slowly pour water into the pot. , the aloe vera that has just been potted should not be exposed to direct sunlight to avoid water loss and excessive consumption of nutrients. It should be maintained in a semi-shade place. After the seedlings take root, they can be exposed to more sunlight.

When repotting, keep the soil intact and try not to damage the root system. After changing the pot, it needs to be maintained in a semi-shady place for a period of time. After the seedlings are completely slowed down, they can be moved to a sunny place for maintenance.
6. Temperature: Aloe vera is afraid of cold because it originally grew in a frost-free desert environment all year round. Aloe vera stops growing when the room temperature is 5 degrees Celsius.

However, if water accumulates in the soil, it will cause root rot and drowning. In winter, you can water once every 15 to 20 days.

Watering principles Don't water it when it's dry, water it thoroughly; in summer, you need to water it once every 2 to 3 days, and you should also pay attention to being less exposed to the hot sun to reduce water loss; the watering method of aloe vera in autumn is basically similar to that in spring, and at the same time, the pot should be kept The soil can be dry or wet.
8. Sunlight: Aloe vera needs sufficient sunlight to grow. Except for the newly planted aloe vera, which should not be exposed to the sun (for about half a month of cultivation), it can only see the sun in the morning.
