Today's talk on Aloe Vera!

Must see for newbies! Aloe vera maintenance strategy Nanny level care formula: light + temperature + water + fertilizer + soil 1️⃣ light ✔️ Spring, autumn and winter: balcony C position sunshine! Lack of light will turn into “tall and thin” (futile growth) ☀️ Summer: pull the curtains in the middle of the day! Sunburned leaves = brown “age spots”. 2️⃣ Temperature 🌡️ Optimal temperature: 15-25℃, below 5℃ easy to frostbite, below 10℃ stop growing! 3️⃣ Watering 🚰 Mantra: Don't water if it's not dry, water it thoroughly! Wooden branches inserted into the soil, dry before watering. There is no such thing as watering once every few days. The frequency of watering varies from season to season and from weather to weather. Drought tolerant can reduce the frequency of watering. 💦 Lightning: waterlogged leaves = rotten heart warning! Watering is aimed at slipping the soil cracks around the edge of the pot 4️⃣ Fertilizer: Apply a thin compound or organic fertilizer once a month during the aloe growing season. Fertilizer is applied away from the roots and along the edge of the pot. 🍂 Changing pots and adding food: bury some sheep dung eggs/rotted chicken manure in the bottom of the pot, and new buds will rub off! ❌ Taboo: thick fertilizer to burn roots! Summer heat / winter stop fertilizer! 5️⃣ Soil preparation: breathable and breathable again! 🧪 Golden formula: Lazy version: directly buy special soil for succulents Money-saving version: garden soil 3 parts + 2 parts of rotting soil + 2 parts of coarse sand + 1 part of perlite 🏺 Flower pots to choose from: ceramic pots > Castle Peak pots > Plastic pots, and pots with no holes in the bottom of the pots are not considered at all! #Gardening #drought #aloe vera
