How do you care for aloe vera so it grows into a full, overflowing pot? You need to learn these care tips

1. The habits of this plant

Only by first understanding this plant's preferences can we know exactly what to do to help it grow into a full, overflowing pot. First, it relatively likes light, but excessively strong light should also be avoided. Next is temperature; the most suitable range depends on the time of day. If it is daytime, then it is 20 to 30 degrees; if it is nighttime, then it is 14 to 17 degrees. If it is below 10 degrees, then it will basically stop growing. There is also water; although its drought tolerance is relatively strong, if you want it to grow into a full, overflowing pot, you should still provide sufficient water. Then there are the requirements for soil and fertilizer.

2. Specific methods

(1) Light: Normally, as long as it is not excessively shaded, that is fine. When direct sunlight reaches it, take appropriate shading measures.

(2) Temperature: Try to keep the surrounding temperature within the range suitable for its growth and development. If conditions are limited, do not let it go below 10°C.

(3) Water: Special attention should be paid to its vigorous growth period. If you want it to grow into a full, overflowing pot, you must provide enough water during this period. However, at the same time, you also need to note that you cannot water too much, because it is likewise afraid of waterlogging.

(4) Soil and fertilizer: First, both drainage and aeration must be good. Second, we should also consider the organic matter content to provide nutrients for the plant. Then there is the pH; it is best between 6.5 and 7.2, that is, slightly neutral soil. If the nutrition is insufficient, then apply light fertilizer as well.
