Fertilization time and fertilizer of Aloe

Appropriate fertilization of aloe can be more conducive to its growth. As for the choice of fertilizer, organic fertilizers such as soybean cake and chicken manure are more suitable. The fertilization time is generally once every two months, but do not apply fertilizer from November to March, because the root activity of Aloe Vera stops temporarily

Rational fertilization of Aloe

The amount of fertilizer for aloe depends on the size of the flowerpot. Excessive fertilization and root injury should be reasonable. It is best to dig a hole farthest from the stem and fill the fertilizer into the soil

Fertilization method of Aloe

The fertilization method of potted aloe mainly adopts two forms: base fertilizer and topdressing

Base fertilizer

Before loading the basin, fully mix the fertilizer and matrix in the ratio of about 10:1, and then load them into the basin together. If organic fertilizer is used as base fertilizer, complete and sufficient fermentation is required in advance, otherwise it will burn seedlings and hurt aloe

Topdressing

Topdressing is carried out during the growth period of Aloe Vera. The fertilizer needs to be diluted first. Usually, urea or 1% calcium superphosphate water solution with a concentration of no more than 2% is poured. Note that the fertilizer solution should not be too thick to avoid the occurrence of fertilizer damage. Especially when the foliar spraying of extra root topdressing, its concentration should not exceed 1%, which can generally be carried out every 2 or 30 days. Aloe usually grows faster in spring. At this time, the number of topdressing can be appropriately increased, while the growth speed in winter is slow, so less or even no fertilization can be applied< span>
