How do you repot an aloe?

Aloe is a very practical type of plant to keep at home. Aloe's sap has many uses; if you get bitten by mosquitoes or insects, you can rub a little aloe on it. Aloe's sap also has whitening, moisturizing and sterilizing effects. So keeping some at home is always useful.

The best season to repot aloe is spring, when it recovers faster, has fewer diseases and a relatively high survival rate.

To repot, you need a pot of good soil. Personally, I suggest mixing garden soil with fine sand and leaf mold. Aloe is not strict about potting soil, because it has strong adaptability and is very easy to keep alive. As long as the potting soil does not become waterlogged when watered, you do not need to repot; if the potting soil does become waterlogged, you must wait until the soil dries out completely before repotting. At that time the roots are easy to clean up, and after repotting the plant takes to watering and settles in easily.

When repotting, be careful not to use a deep pot; a shallow pot has better drainage and aeration. When repotting, I personally prefer to cover the surface with a layer of small stones to help drainage. Then, when potting up, pay attention to spreading the roots out; do not press the roots all together, as that is bad for growth.

After potting up, add a layer of volcanic rock to the surface of the potting soil, so that watering will not wash out a big pit. If it is inconvenient to observe whether the soil is dry or wet, each time you want to water, use a long bamboo skewer to test how dry the potting soil is. If you insert the bamboo skewer into the potting soil for a few minutes and then take it out and it has not changed color, then it is completely dry and needs watering.

After repotting aloe, if the soil mix you prepared at repotting time is relatively dry, you can water right after repotting; if the potting soil is relatively moist, you can water the next day. After watering thoroughly, put it in a cool, ventilated place for a period of care. Generally after seven days it can go into normal care. Aloe is very easy to grow and very easy to keep alive, so flower lovers do not need to worry when repotting.
