Sowing and propagation of aloe queen

Unlike ordinary aloe plants, the queen of aloe can not carry out asexual reproduction. She can only wait for the queen of aloe to carry out self pollination after flowering, and sow and plant the collected seeds

However, the seeds obtained are not completely active, and if the dormant seeds are obtained, they cannot reproduce. The former is uncontrollable and the latter is controllable

When sowing, first dig a small pit of about 5cm in the basin soil or a pit with seed depth, fill the pit with water, and bury the chemical fertilizer and seeds in the soil after the water penetrates

Releasing the dormancy of seeds can be treated with cold wet layer, and alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and other liquids can be used to increase the air permeability of seeds, but it will not increase the germination rate

In 1995, Huntington botanical garden had completed the artificial pollination of the queen of aloe, which increased the yield of seeds and made it easier for the queen of aloe to sow and reproduce

Nutritional reproduction of aloe queen

Vegetative reproduction is a kind of artificial vegetative reproduction. This method can retain the excellent characters of the mother to the greatest extent. If the aloe queen at home has strong vitality, it can be propagated in this way

This breeding method is to select some rhizomes with strong growth activity of aloe queen and put them into specific nutrient solution or nutrient soil

Because it is too difficult for the queen of aloe to obtain its seeds, the price of aloe queen potted plants is very high, and even the price of a seed is about 10 euros. Therefore, Xiaobian reminds you that if there is a pot of aloe at home, the queen must cherish its seeds
