When it comes to aloe vera, I believe everyone is familiar with it. Basically everyone has seen aloe vera, and quite a few people have used the secretions from aloe vera leaves to apply to their face for beauty care, and some have even eaten aloe vera. Indeed, aloe vera combines food, medicinal, beauty and ornamental uses in one, and its secretions are rich in anthraquinone compounds such as aloin. It is now widely used in medicine and daily chemicals, and aloe gel can also relieve itching from mosquito bites to some extent. But when it comes to aloe vera blooming, very few people have seen it. Can aloe vera bloom? Will aloe vera die after blooming? How do you grow aloe vera so that it blooms? With these questions, let us study the issue of aloe vera blooming together.
I. Will aloe vera bloom? Can aloe vera bloom? The answer is yes. Aloe vera can bloom, but it is very rare, and it will only bloom under conditions of suitable warmth, humidity and light. Whether aloe vera blooms also depends on the variety; some varieties will not bloom even if you grow them until they die. Generally, aloe vera grown in tropical regions blooms around May. The flower stalk is 30-40 cm tall, and occasionally exceeds 1 m. However, aloe vera grown in temperate zones often does not bloom easily, the blooming time is also uncertain, and the flower stalk is short and the flowers are small.
II. What does it mean when aloe vera blooms? Some people say that aloe vera rarely blooms, and that when aloe vera blooms it means good luck; others say that aloe vera grown for more than three years will bloom, that this is a natural phenomenon and nothing special; and still others say that aloe vera blooming means aging, and that if aloe vera blooms, it means it is about to die! But in fact, whether aloe vera blooms has a certain relationship with its variety and care method, and there is no mystical basis to it, but as an old saying goes, “Shallow Chinese rose frequently appears on stage, pure aloe vera blooms cautiously”, and the flower language of aloe vera is “keep oneself clean and self-loving, free from disturbance”. So people are more willing to believe that aloe vera blooming is a sign of blessing, a wish and longing for a beautiful character. III. Conditions for aloe vera to bloom 1. Variety Usually, Aloe arborescens blooms in 3-4 years, Aloe vera in 3 years, and Aloe saponaria in about 1 year. These three are, at present, the varieties with a relatively high chance of blooming. 2. Sunlight During the growth process of aloe vera, there must be good sunlight exposure. Especially in summer, sufficient sunlight can make aloe vera grow quickly. Only when the stem is more than 2.2 cm thick and the plant height is more than 40 cm is it possible for it to bloom. 3. Fertilizer Blooming requires sufficient nutrient support, timely fertilization, and appropriate supplementation of phosphorus fertilizer.
IV. Method for making aloe vera bloom Taking Aloe arborescens as an example: in early September, cut a two-year-cultivated aloe vera from below the center of the stem, keep 5-7 leaves on the upper part, and retain a certain growth point on the cut part. After placing it in a shady place to dry, insert it into soil, and it will take root in 40-50 days. Gently pull it with your hand; if it does not come out, it means it has taken root. It should be noted that before the cutting has taken root, it must not be watered. After rooting, care for it normally, and in the autumn of the second year it will produce 50-60 small flowers.
