After beheading an aloe, bury this in the soil, and the side shoots will grow like crazy, filling the pot in less than half a year

Aloe is a very common ornamental green plant, and it can also purify the air and absorb toxic gases from the air. Keeping one pot indoors creates a healthy living environment for people.

During the process of caring for aloe, it easily grows into a single head without producing side shoots. At this point, we can behead the aloe, then bury a little of this in the soil, and it will go crazy producing side shoots, filling the pot in less than half a year!

After beheading the aloe, disinfect the cut. You can apply a carbendazim solution, which prevents the sap from flowing out and also prevents infection. First place it in a bright spot with indirect light and good ventilation, and after about 5 to 7 days, move it to a spot with plenty of sunlight.

You can bury a few granules of slow-release compound fertilizer in the potting soil, once every 10 days, for 2 to 3 times in a row, and the aloe will continuously produce small aloes and explode with side shoots!

If you don't have slow-release compound fertilizer at home, you can also use cooked soybeans or peanuts as a substitute. Do not bury too many at a time, 3 to 5 pieces is enough, and keep them farther from the roots to avoid burning the roots!

This way, each time you water, the nutrients will slowly seep down, continuously providing nourishment to the roots, and it will keep growing side shoots! After the side shoots grow up, you can cut off the old stem so it doesn't affect the appearance!

Also, don't waste the head you cut off. Let it dry for ten days first, and after the cut has completely dried, plant it in soil. The soil must have good drainage and aeration; you can use peat moss mixed with perlite.

In addition, after planting, it is recommended to wait seven days before watering to prevent rot. This way, it will take root in about 20 days!
