Flowering conditions

Usually, aloe blooms. Because of different varieties, the flowering time is also different. Generally speaking, the flowering time of Aloe arborescens is about 3-4 years, that of aloe Curacao is 3 years, and that of soap aloe is only one year

Aloe Vera needs to blossom. During its growth, it needs good light, especially in summer. Sufficient nutrient is also a necessary condition for aloe blossom, and phosphorus fertilizer cannot be lacked. In addition, aloe also needs to have strong roots and thick stems

In short, aloe vera with long and thick leaves, plant height of more than 40cm and green leaves will bloom more easily

Method of flowering in advance

Taking Aloe arborescens as an example, when cultivating aloe, some measures can make aloe blossom in advance

In the first ten days of September, cut the arboreal aloe that has been cultivated for more than 2 years from the center of the stem, and keep 5-7 leaves in the upper part. When cutting, you need to keep the growth point at the top of aloe, and keep 3-4 leaves at the lower part of the cut

Put the cut-off upper part of Aloe arborescens in a cool place to dry for 10-15 days, and dry the moisture of the incision. Then remove the leaves near the cut part and insert them into the soil. After about 40-50 days, they can take root

Note that you can't water before planting and rooting, so you can see the flowers of aloe in the second year. When the flowers wither, the stems can be cut off
