Three steps to keep Aloe nobilis 'Dwarf' succulents alive, and the most effective way to deal with yellow leaves
Friends who love succulents are certainly familiar with the "Aloe nobilis 'Dwarf'" variety. It is a succulent of the Liliaceae family, Aloe genus, and overall a compact, emerald-green succulent variety that gives a fresh feeling. In daily life, you can place it on a windowsill, bookshelf, desk and other places for decoration.
Besides its good ornamental value, Aloe nobilis 'Dwarf' also has an air-purifying effect. Placing it next to a computer can also absorb radiation and reduce the harm the computer does to the human body. In terms of care, it likes sufficient light. If it is kept for a long time in a relatively dark place or a place with insufficient light, its leaves will slowly turn yellow and it will gradually grow lopsided and topple over. If the Aloe nobilis 'Dwarf' you are growing shows similar conditions, promptly supplement its light or immediately move it into the sunlight for care. Although it needs sufficient light during care, in the hot summer, once the temperature exceeds 30°C it cannot be exposed to the sun, and at this time it should be moved indoors for care.
As for watering, Aloe nobilis 'Dwarf' likes drought, so you should follow the rule of not watering while the soil is not dry, and once the soil is dry, water it thoroughly. When watering, do it slowly; do not give it too fast or too much water all at once. In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, because water evaporates slowly, watering can be reduced.
Generally, when purchased from a flower market it comes with soil, but if you later find the soil has become compacted, you should loosen the soil for it. At this time it is recommended to choose a loose, fertile, well-draining, breathable sandy soil. For the soil mix, you can use a blend of leaf mold, sandy soil, garden soil and plant ash. When repotting, look carefully to see whether there are any roots that are too old or too long, and be sure to cut off this type of root that robs nutrients. During cultivation you should loosen the soil often so that it has good breathability; doing so is beneficial to root development.
If you want a good-looking succulent, reasonable fertilizing is indispensable. Apply fertilizer once every half month, and it is recommended to use a fertilizer containing elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. However, be careful not to use fertilizer that is too concentrated, and do not use raw fertilizer. If too much fertilizer is applied, you need to rinse away the excess fertilizer with clean water, then repot it for care. If too little is applied, fertilize promptly to make up for it.
