This kind of aloe, after being grown for a full 5 years, is worth over ten thousand yuan; no succulent can compare with it.

More and more people are growing flowers. Whether it is foliage plants or flowering plants, such as Clivia miniata, lucky bamboo, pothos and so on, I believe many people are growing them. In fact, there is another major category in the flower market that cannot be ignored. That is "succulent plants". When it comes to succulents, there are also many enthusiasts; after all, they are small and exquisite, and they look great placed on a desk or writing table at home.

There are many kinds of succulents. Today I recommend an aloe to everyone. This aloe is not an ordinary aloe, but a precious variety known as the "Queen of Aloe", which is Aloe polyphylla, also called spiral aloe. I estimate that no succulent enthusiast does not know it!

Why is Aloe polyphylla so special?

Look at the leaves of this aloe, arranged in a spiral, extremely beautiful. Some mature Aloe polyphylla plants have as many as over a hundred leaves, so it is fair to say its ornamental value is very high. The reason this aloe is special is also because few people grow it successfully. It is not that the quantity is small, but that few flower lovers succeed in growing it. To grow a mature Aloe polyphylla into the appearance above, it takes at least 5 years. And its value is very high, over ten thousand yuan.

How do you care for Aloe polyphylla?

The growth habits of aloe are easy to grasp. As for soil, it likes loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil containing a large amount of humus. If you want to grow it well and have it thrive more and more, the importance of soil is self-evident. You can mix leaf mold, gravel, ordinary garden soil and pine needles to make nutrient soil. When winter comes, you can also put some sawdust in the flowerpot to play a role in keeping it warm.

Light requirements for caring for Aloe polyphylla: it is a light-loving succulent, so remember to give it sufficient light. Of course, direct sunlight is not allowed, to avoid scorching the leaves. When the light is too strong, or when there is no light, the leaves of Aloe polyphylla will lose their luster, and spots and yellow tips will also appear. At this time now, the Start of Autumn has already passed, which is exactly the peak growing season for Aloe polyphylla. With proper care, it can grow several cm taller in two or three months.

What to pay attention to when fertilizing Aloe polyphylla:

This plant grows extremely slowly. To grow from a seedling into a mature plant takes several years. Among this, the importance of fertilizing must be highly valued. When growing aloe, use thin fertilizer as much as possible, applying it once every two months. As fertilizer, you can use diluted cake fertilizer water or sun-exposed barnyard manure, chicken and duck manure, etc. If you think there is an odor, of course you can also use cooked and fermented soybeans as a substitute.

Aloe polyphylla is the finest among aloes, and of course also one of the few potted plants among succulents with extremely high value. Many people want to grow it into the appearance shown in the picture after seeing it, but most end in failure. Although it is said that this aloe is difficult to grow, as long as you care for it attentively, I believe it can still be grown well.

Finally, a reminder to flower lovers: try not to buy the Aloe polyphylla seeds sold in flower markets or fairs. They are unreliable, and most of them cannot be kept alive. It is recommended to buy seedlings instead.
