Aloe comprehensive cultivation management technology

I. Overview

Aloe vera can be used to pick the leaves and squeeze the juice to provide white skin and reduce freckles and acne. Can also be home standing drugs, in the case of bruises, sores long, as a detoxification anti-inflammatory drugs, most people use it as a flower cultivation, how to cultivate management? First of all, we must know its growth habits and requirements for environmental conditions.

Aloe native to the tropical desert, it has the following characteristics:

First, heat chill: it is suitable for growth temperature around 20 °C, below zero degrees will be frozen, about 10 °C growth near the pause, so in winter in Wenzhou

It is best to plant in a warm shed in the sky. The winter that is planted in the pot should be placed in a sheltered, sunny place or indoors in the south to reduce frost damage.

Second, loose soil: It is best to sand soil, such as sticky yellow mud, should join half of the sand, promote loose ventilation, favorable drainage.

3. Drought-resistance: The water in the desert is rare. Therefore, aloe vera is called "a drought-impaired plant." After digging, the sun will not dry off after a few days of drying. Therefore, not pouring or watering has little effect, but Water in the earth often drowned.

Fourth, like the sun: There is almost no rainy day in the desert, all day long in the strong sunlight. Planting areas should be able to reach the sun, such as long-term place in the sky, the growth of small and thin.

Second, watering method

Aloe is drought-tolerant, but it is afraid of accumulation of water. It is easy to cause atrophy of aloe leaves, root rot and even death in the case of poor drainage of potted soil. To make aloe vera grow thick, timely and appropriate watering is important. The optimum humidity for aloe is 45%-85%, and the watering of aloe vera is related to the season. In winter, the growth of aloe is inhibited due to temperature, so water should be reduced as much as possible. Generally, the water should be poured 15-20 days once. If necessary, water can be sprayed on the leaves to keep the pots and soils properly dried, which will help Aloe to safely pass the winter; When the temperature is 15-25°C, it is watered once every 5-7 days; in summer, the temperature is high, the evaporation is large, and the watering is usually 2-3 days; once in the morning and at night, the water can be sprayed to the leaves to avoid Summer sun exposure. Due to the different climate in different regions, aloe vera watering should be flexible.

Aloe watering should be timely and appropriate. Too much water will make it rot, brown patches on the leaves or brown rotting. At this point stop the water supply and it will slowly recover. If it is short of water, it will be dying and the leaves will wither.

The correct watering method is: when watering, it is best not to pour from the head, but should be poured from the side or root, do not let the water poured on the leaves, so as not to damage the leaves due to high water temperature.

The duration of watering and the time of watering depend on the season and the weather. It is advisable to water in the morning in the spring and fall, and water once a week. If the weather is very clear and the climate is dry, it should be watered once every 5 days. For the rainy season, water is poured in about 10 days. It is best to water once a day in the summer, watering in the evening and letting the water slowly infiltrate at night. Do not water in the morning, because it can easily burn the roots, and it evaporates quickly and cannot be watered. It is advisable to water in the winter for 10-15 days. The election was poured at high temperatures at noon. If you do not put aloe into the greenhouse during the winter, some people claim that water is not watered in the winter and it is feared that the water is more likely to damage the aloe vera.

Aloe vera soil should be kept moist. Too much water is not good for the root of aloe. Because the aloe vera has the characteristics of tolerance to drought and drought, when it needs watering, gently pour along the edge of the pot but don't use force to flush, so as to avoid the potted soil is easy to compact. The permeability of the basin soil, when the potted soil appears compacted, it is necessary to loosen the soil in time, and the depth is about 1.5 centimeters. In addition to sufficient watering in the summer and frequent spraying of water on the leaves, watering should be controlled in other seasons. Otherwise, water in pots and soils can easily cause rot of stems and leaves. Because its fleshy leaves can store large quantities of moisture, aloe vera is very tolerant to drought and can be watered when the surface of the soil in the pot is dry. Excessive watering or accumulation of water in the basin can cause rot.

April-June and August-September are the best growing times for aloe. If the soil is too dry, its growth and development will be affected. Therefore, water should be fully watered during this period. It is generally poured after it is dry and poured. After this period of time, it is necessary to properly control the watering so that the soil does not become too wet, so that it will not dry or pour, and pouring will be less to prevent rot. Avoid watering at noon. Watering should be appropriate. If there is wet soil at 2 cm below the surface soil, watering is not required. When you have just planted, the soil should be a little dry, do not water it, and water it again in half a month. After the slow seedling period, water will be poured every 2-3 days in the summer and once in 6-7 days in the spring and autumn. Water will not be applied in winter. Aloe leaves are more fleshy, have a moisture content of 98.5%, and have amazing drought resistance. If aloe is uprooted and dried in ventilated areas, even if water is not supplied, aloe vera can still use the water in the body to carry out faint life activities, and it can be maintained for more than half a year. At the same time, if it is replanted in the ground to restore the water supply, The plants can grow again.

Aloe vera differs in its requirements for water at different stages of development. At the seedling stage, the area of ​​transpiration leaves is small, and the demand for water is also small, but its root system is weak and has a shallow distribution in the soil, so it is very sensitive to water changes. Therefore, keeping the soil moist is very favorable for seedling growth. At the adult stage, the requirement of water for Aloe Vera was relatively increased, and drought tolerance was also significantly enhanced.

Aloe vera bogey soil water, water more than 10 hours, ranging from rot, rotten leaves, weight is caused by the death of aloe whole plant. The soil water content is 50%-60%.

2, colonization

It can be planted on the anniversary, and the daily average temperature is stable above 15°C. It is appropriate to cover the base of the lower leaf when planting. After planting, the mulching film can better improve the survival rate, promote root development, save water and labor, and reduce seedling management. The row spacing is generally 40 cm and 50 cm. When planting in poor sandy soil, the row spacing is 30 cm and 40 cm. After planting, water should be poured and shaded properly. After about 10-15 days, the seedlings can be returned to green, and watering and light can be increased. About 50 days after colonization, apply composted manure or compound fertilizer once.

Three, potted method

Aloe vera plants are restricted to small pots under potting conditions. Potted soils suitable for growth should have functions such as fertilizer conservation, water retention and drainage, and air permeability. Acidity and alkalinity are suitable for neutrality. The materials commonly used to prepare potted earth materials include fields mud, garden mud and humus ( Fermented, heaped defoliation, straw, sawdust, etc.), river sand, or media ash. The preparation method is: field (garden) mud, humus, river sand (or media ash) are 4:4:2, respectively, according to the local source of the material, without affecting the soil, fertilizer, water, and gas , can be changed as appropriate. Before potting, select the appropriate pot based on the type of planting. The aloe vera plant is larger, planting more than a year and a half, the leaf length is 50-80 cm, the single leaf weight is about 500 grams, the flower pot is bigger, the caliber is 25-30 cm, the Chinese aloe and the wood aloe plant are smaller, the flower pot The caliber is about 20 centimeters. It can also be planted with a small flowerpot. When the aloe plant grows to asymmetry with the flowerpot, it can be replanted to a large flowerpot. When planting potted plants, put two-thirds of the potted soil first, put the seedlings in the pots, open the roots, and then put the rest of the pots and soils to gently lift the seedlings to slightly compact the soil. Take the seedlings as they are, and then pour a small amount of water to set the roots in a shaded area. After the aloe vera begins to grow, move it to the sun. But in the summer to prevent the hot sun, aloe vera is more sensitive to sunlight during seedlings, and it must be properly shaded. After planting, some aloe leaves will change color. This is the slow seedling period of aloe. When it starts to grow normally, the color of the leaves will become better.

IV. Pest Control

During the growth of aloe vera, there are few diseases and pests, but there are the following common pests and diseases:

1. Scale insects: Aloe vera often occurs in soaps, and other aloe varieties occur less frequently. Prevention: In severe cases, drugs can be used for prevention and treatment. 50% of 1605 EC, diluted 1000 times spray. The seedling period can be used 50% of the trithulphos, diluted 3000 times spray.

2. Starscream: It is easy to occur during drought, and it is also harmful during the severe period from May to July and August to September. Prevention: In the winter season, eliminate field weeds. When a large number of red spiders outbreak, can be used 40% dimethoate 2000-2500 times spray, spray once every 3-4 days, you can play several times in a row.

3, cotton bollworm: in the larvae of cotton bollworm when the hazard occurs, can be used 40% of the omethoate EC 600 times or 50% of the killing of the pine EC 1000 times spray.

4, white root disease: that is, with a white powder on the root of aloe, prevention and control methods with the same red spider.

5. Root rot: Root rot, usually caused by the soil being too damp, causes the roots of the aloe to rot. The healthy, non-corrosive stems should be cut in time. After the incisions are dried, they can be planted again.

Diseases are rot, round spot, and anthrax. Whitefly and scale insects interfere with aloe vera.

As long as plant quarantine and water and fertilizer management are strengthened, aloe vera will generally not get sick. Such as suffering from brown spot, anthrax, leaf blight, white peony disease, can be used carbendazim 800 times the liquid spray 1 week, even spray 2-3 times, at the same time cut the leaves of many lesions . Pay attention to prevent pesticide contamination of aloe leaves.

V. Picking of blades

The picking standard of aloe leaves is appropriate for growing for one year or more than 12 leaves. The green leaf aloe will grow for more than one and a half years and picking is better. The picked leaves should be plump, smooth, clear and transparent, and the various ingredients of aloe vera High content, good use effect. Pick up from the bottom up, use a knife to cut a mouth on each side of the base of the leaf, and then gently glance, picking the number of plants to keep the 12 leaves as a basis. If your home's balcony is enough, you can make a few more pots. When you are so lush, you pick them up every day. And when you pick it, remember to always pick the bottom leaf and pick it up.

The harvested parts are axillary buds, leaves, flowers, calyx and roots. Harvest season is best in spring, summer and autumn. Harvest axillary buds can be used for breeding, aloe vera used for harvesting leaves, must be more than 3 years of adult plants, grow to about 45 cm high. There should be more than 20 leaves per plant, most of the leaves should have 500g weight, 3-4 leaves can be harvested each time, 3-4 times can be harvested every year, and the bottom leaves are generally used, every 2 Harvested once a month or so, 2-4 leaves per plant were collected. The mother plants that had been harvested must have more than 12 leaves and should not be over-extracted. The part of the harvesting mouth must be the base of the sheath. After harvesting, it is advisable to chase the fertilizer once, mainly with nitrogenous fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, supplemented by potassium fertilizer, 3-4 times per year.

About three years of planting aloe vera can be picked. More than three years of medicinal value of leaves is higher. When collecting leaf, it usually starts from the lower part of the plant, and the mature leaves are heated down, do not harm the plants, and keep the integrity of the body. Because of the moisture content of Aloe leaves accounts for more than 96%. The outflow of juice from broken leaves is a loss to their nutrition. Damaged leaves are also not easily preserved and can affect other leaf storage.

Sixth, breeding methods

Aloe grows faster and should be changed every spring. Basin soil can be used 40% of river sand, garden soil 30%, 30% of rot leaf soil mixed preparation, and in the pelvic floor a small amount of broken bone tablets as base fertilizer, usually do not need to top dressing.

1, cutting propagation method: cuttings from April to May. From the top of the old plant, cut or cut about 8cm long cuttings (twigs) and let them dry for 2 to 3 days. After the incision is dried, the plugs are inserted into the medium and roots can be taken after about 3 weeks.

2, the method of propagation of the ramets: In April-July or September-October, open from the roots of the mother and the sub-strain, and then cut. The ramets are easily combined with spring replacement pots.

3, seed propagation: Aloe can grow to 3-4 years after flowering seeds, seeds should be sown immediately after harvest, otherwise it is difficult to germinate. The best sowing time is 15-20°C. Avoid planting in early spring, late autumn and hot summer.

4. Tissue Culture and Propagation: Apical shoots, apical tips, and bud tips of aloe are used as the protoplasts. They are propagated in sterile culture tubes and regenerated roots. They can be rapidly propagated in large quantities and are not subject to seasonal restrictions. More up to the production of virus vaccine seedlings.

In the winter, the aloe can be extracted and dried for 7-10 days, and then spread by newspapers, rags or dry straw (without stacking) in the room, and then planted when the temperature rises in the coming year; or cut the aloe from the mother plant. Go down, hang it indoors, and then cut it again in the spring. The sturdy plant stems will not wither after 3 or 4 months of storage. Even if the tips of the leaves are red and dry, as long as the stems are healthy, they can survive after planting. If young shoots affect the growth of the mother, the ramets should be removed or excavated in time. It can be planted on the anniversary, and the daily average temperature is stable above 15°C. It is appropriate to cover the base of the lower leaf when planting. After planting, the mulching film can better improve the survival rate, promote root development, save water and labor, and reduce seedling management. The row spacing is generally 40 cm and 50 cm. When planting in poor sandy soil, the row spacing is 30 cm and 40 cm. After planting, water should be poured and shaded properly. After about 10-15 days, the seedlings can be returned to green, and watering and light can be increased. About 50 days after colonization, apply composted manure or compound fertilizer once.

Seven, with aloe beauty method

Aloe Vera, evolved from Arabic allcoh, is a folk herb. Aloe vera is not uncommon, and many beauty products contain aloe vera. Curiously, the method of directly applying fresh leaves of aloe vera to the face. This method of beauty, known as authenticity, has been popular for a while and it has become a new and popular practice to go to the mall to buy aloe leaves. Here, we introduce some aloe beauty tips, perhaps to help you properly use aloe beauty.

Cuiye Aloe is the most suitable aloe vera fresh leaf, namely Aloe vera, which has the properties of skin convergence, softening, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and bleaching. There is also the role of decompression, keratinization, and improvement of scars. It can not only prevent small wrinkles, bags under the eyes, loose skin, but also keep the skin moist and delicate. At the same time, it can also treat skin inflammation, for acne, freckles, acne and scald, knife Injuries, insect bites, etc. also have a good effect. It is also effective for hair and it keeps the hair moist and smooth, preventing hair loss.

How to use Aloe Beauty

First, facial cosmetology: Apply fresh leaf juice to the face 15-20 minutes sooner or later, stick to it, make the facial skin smooth, white tender, soft, as well as the treatment of butterfly, freckles, age spots effect.

Second, homemade aloe lotion: Take the juice, add a little water can be applied to the facial beauty, wipe the head after shampoo can relieve itching, prevent white hair, hair loss, and keep the hair black shiny, bald can also give birth to new hair .

3. Homemade Aloe Run Cream: Prepare 250 grams of aloe leaf, 1 cucumber, 1 egg, flour and sugar.

1. Wash the leaves of aloe vera and cucumbers, respectively, and crush them with gauze;

2. Put the eggs into the bowl and put in a teaspoon of aloe vera juice, 3 tsp cucumber juice; 2 tsp sugar and mix thoroughly;

3. Add about 5 tsp flour or oat flour, make it into a paste;

4. Cosmetology: Spread the moisturizer evenly over the entire face, then close the eyes and mouth to keep the facial muscles motionless. After about 40-50 minutes, wash your face with lukewarm water. Hold 1-2 times a week.

Eight, soil and fertilizer

Aloe vera grows in well-drained soils that are well drained and hard to compact. In general, some gravel ash can be added to the soil. It is better to add turfgrass ash. Poorly ventilated and drained soils can cause respiratory damage in the roots and necrosis in rot, but too much sandy soil often results in the loss of water and nutrients, causing poor growth of aloe.

Basin soil can be used 40% of river sand, garden soil 30%, 30% of rot leaf soil mixed preparation, and in the pelvic floor a small amount of broken bone tablets as base fertilizer, usually do not need to top dressing.

Fertilizer is indispensable for any plant. Aloe not only needs NPK, but also some trace elements. To ensure that aloe vera is a green natural plant, it is necessary to use fermented organic fertilizer as much as possible. Cake, chicken manure and compost can all be used. Manure manure is more suitable for planting aloe vera.

Fertilizers need to consider the coordination and balance of the various elements. Apply a small amount of fertilizer, compound fertilizer, and a small amount of bone meal and plant ash each month. After the planting, all the aloe vera will turn green and light and watering will be carried out, and timely weeding and weeding will be carried out. Aloe is a perennial plant. This year should focus on the management of spring and summer. From April to May, strong growth, combined with watering for 1-2 times. From July to August, pay attention to ventilation, shade and watering. Fertilizers should be guaranteed 3-4 times this year, applying 15 kg of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers per acre.

Aloe is not strict with the soil, but it is fertile, loose, well-drained, sandy soil rich in organic matter. Soil pH 6.5-7.2 is the best range of aloe growth. Aloe vera seedlings usually grow faster in sand. Into the adult stage, organic fertilizer must be added to the sand. When growing in clay, the soil must be sanded or organic fertilizer added. Loam can meet the requirements of aloe root growth and is the most ideal soil for aloe cultivation.

In addition to the absorption of CO2 from the air during the development of aloe, other nutrients are almost all derived from the nutrients in the soil. The main nutrients required for aloe are: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulfur, iron, magnesium, manganese, boron, zinc and more than ten elements, but the requirements for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the largest, and the ratio is approximately ( 5-10): 20:20. Sustained supply is required. In the absence of other trace elements, it is also easy to affect the growth of aloe. It should be added in time. In the recovery of fertilizers, it is necessary to use non-polluted organic fertilizers (such as chicken manure or farm manure), spraying of chemical fertilizers and leaf fertilizers containing hormones, and the use of pesticides is strictly prohibited.

Oxygen: Aloe requires oxygen to breathe during growth and development. Soil compaction, long-term accumulation of water, lack of oxygen in the soil, will cause the growth of Aloe vera blocked and poorly developed. Solution: Add organic fertilizer, scratching, and improving soil structure to meet the oxygen requirement of the root system.

Carbon dioxide: The carbon dioxide content in the soil is generally around 0.03%, which is the main raw material for photosynthesis and production of organic substances in aloe. Increasing the carbon dioxide content can enhance the photosynthesis of aloe and promote the growth of aloe. If the content of carbon dioxide in the air is increased to 0.2%-0.4%, the yield of aloe can be increased. However, if the carbon dioxide content exceeds 2%-5%, the growth and development of aloe will be inhibited.

1, land preparation

Aloe vera is a perennial plant that typically grows for 3-5 years after colonization and cannot be easily moved once colonized. Therefore, it is very important to improve the structure of the soil before planting.

(1) Increase organic fertilizer and improve soil. Aloe vera consumes large amounts of land. To ensure high quality, high yield, and stable yield of aloe, it is a key measure to increase pollution-free organic fertilizer before planting. Select land plots with high topography, low groundwater level, unobstructed drainage, loose soil, breathable and fertile soil. The pre-planting area requires two plows and three plows. The plowing depth is 15-20 cm. The decomposed organic fertilizer is 2000-3000 kilograms per mu and the compound fertilizer is 100 kilograms of leafy vegetables. The whole width is 1 meter and the height is 10-15 centimeters. 15-20 meters long. Before transplanting, apply a layer of pine leaf or peat soil to the surface and plow till leveling. After transplanting, the soil around the seedlings was compacted, poured enough water, and then cultivated dry soil and shaded in time. According to the conditions of fertility, apply base fertilizer at one time.

(2) Sterilize the soil. Soil sterilization is to kill the eggs, larvae and pathogens in the soil. It is an essential measure to increase production. Generally, it takes place 15-30 days before planting. There are two methods of soil sterilization: physical sterilization and chemical sterilization. We advocate the use of physical sterilization, that is, plowing the land in the high temperature period in summer and covering it with plastic film. Padding, or freezing in the winter.

Nutrients in the soil are constantly absorbed by the plant body during vigorous growth, and if it is not applied in time, it will affect the growth of aloe. Organic fertilizers are generally slow in fertilizer efficiency and cannot be used for fertilization after the aloe growth is affected. This is too late. Do not use too much fertilizer at one time. Do not contaminate the leaves. Wash with water if it is contaminated.

Nine, temperature

Aloe is afraid of the cold. It grows in a frost-free environment throughout the year. The growth stopped at about 5°C. At 0°C, the life process was disturbed. If it was below 0°C, it would cause frostbite. The most suitable temperature for growth is 15-35°C and the humidity is 45-85%.

Growth temperature 20 ~ 30 °C. Keeping the temperature above 5°C can completely overwinter. Aloe stopped growing at 5°C and died at 0°C.

Winter can be spent in winter in an inhabited living room. The indoor temperature should be maintained at 5-25°C.

Winter should be frost-proof. When the temperature is lower than 5°C, it should be covered in advance. It is best to cover it with double sheds. Work should be done before the onset of frost damage. When the outside temperature is lower than 5°C, the temperature in the shed should be increased, and at high temperatures at noon, the greenhouse should be vented and ventilated.

Aloe native to tropical, is a kind of thermophilic plant, its characteristics are: "heat temperature chills." The minimum temperature is 10°C-12°C. If the temperature is lower than 10°C, the growth stops. When the temperature is between 0°C and 5°C, it will not cause frostbite, but it will cause the growth of the leaves to be weak, which will infect many diseases, and the roots will decay. In severe cases, it will lead to a large area of ​​death. When the temperature is lower than 0°C, icing phenomenon occurs inside the cells of aloe, and the victim suffers wilting and death. Under protected cultivation conditions. Can tolerate a short frost of 3°C. In winter, when it is cloudy, it is necessary to make up the temperature, remove the snow on the shed film in time, and pay attention to the low temperature in the early morning to ensure that the aloe vera is safe for winter. In general, winter sunny days are revealed at 9am and covers at 3pm. After entering March, gradually put the top wind to cool down.

The optimum temperature for aloe growth is 25°C-30°C. In order to increase the accumulation of nutrients in Aloe vera, the temperature can be appropriately reduced at night to accelerate the growth of Aloe Vera. Generally during the growth period, the night temperature can be controlled between 14 °C and 17 °C. Aloe vera has strong resistance to high temperatures. According to relevant experiments, the extreme value of heat damage in Aloe vera during its growth period is about 50°C-55°C.

If the temperature is low, it can be covered with a transparent plastic bag, after 9:00 in the morning, before 3 pm

Ten, lighting

Aloe Hi light, need plenty of sunlight, should be placed in a dry scattered light, long-term place in the dark indoor place is very thin. The more sunlight, the brighter the leaves, the more luxuriant the flowers. In the spring and autumn, Yangzhi is used on or outdoors to receive direct sunlight, and in the summer, it is moved to a well-ventilated half shade, and in winter, the indoor lighting is sufficient.

It should be noted that the first planted aloe is not suitable for sun exposure. It is best to see the sun only in the morning and it will slowly adapt to thrive in the sun after 10 days. In addition, from a dark place to a well-lit place, the leaves of aloe will turn yellow, so it's fine to adjust to a few days, or you can move it gradually.

Aloe is happy. When the light is sufficient, the plants are strong, the leaves are hypertrophic, and the leaves are dark green; when the light is insufficient, they can also grow under the conditions of micro-negative, but they can easily cause leggy, making the plants thin, the leaves thin, and the leaves pale. However, too strong sunlight can lead to plant dormancy and slow growth, especially for newly planted seedlings. Under too strong light, the leaves will turn purple, and grow slowly. In production, proper shading treatment of newly planted seedlings can shorten the seedling period. The light intensity is strongest at noon in the summer and exceeds the range of light saturation of aloe vera. The shade in the production can be properly shaded to reduce the light intensity to about 50% of natural light. However, avoid being too shady, otherwise it will cause the leaves to rot.
