Can aloe vera survive if its heart is rotten?

Aloe vera is generally not prone to disease. If it rots, it may be caused by high temperature and poor ventilation. Excessive watering can also cause aloe vera to rot. Therefore, once the aloe vera rots, it should be pulled out immediately, and the softened and discolored parts should be cut off. The cut should be flat and the healthy part of the plant should be retained. Then don't be too anxious to pot it. First, place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound. It will take about 7-10 days. At this time, the wound is almost dry and you can prepare it for potting.

In order to prevent the soil from being too wet and causing the heart to rot again, it is recommended to use moist soil for potting. Be careful not to let the potting soil be too wet during the rooting period. Do not water frequently after potting. Water again after about 10 days. During this period, do not pull it out frequently to check. If there is no rot in about a month, it basically means that the rooting is successful.

How to remedy aloe vera heart rot

1. Strictly control the water supply for aloe vera. Do not water it again. Pay special attention to controlling the amount of water when the heart is rotten. The principle of watering is to consider watering only when the soil of aloe vera is completely dry and there are continuous sunny days.

2. Make sure to keep the aloe vera in a ventilated environment. If you cannot open the window for ventilation due to low temperature, then after watering, it is best to place it in a ventilated environment above 5 degrees. If not, you can use an electric fan to blow it.

3. Do not maintain aloe vera at a temperature below 5 degrees in winter as there is a risk of frost damage.

What is a good way to make aloe vera take root quickly?

1. Break off the lower part of the aloe vera shoots from the junction with the mother plant, and break off the lowest few leaflets and leaf sheaths of the shoots. At this time, you can see small roots or root-like protrusions.

2. Place the seedlings in a ventilated and cool place to dry for 1-2 days, and prepare for planting after the wounds are slightly dry.

3. Mix two parts of garden soil and one part of river sand or two parts of garden soil and one part of crushed slag to prepare the planting soil, then use a spray bottle to spray the planting soil until it is slightly moist but not wet.

4. Fill the flowerpot to two-thirds with the prepared planting soil and compact it. Put the aloe seedling in, straighten it, fill the soil to the lowest leaf of the seedling, and compact the soil. Do not water it at this time. Place it in a cool and ventilated place for about two weeks and then gradually increase the light. Do not water it unless the soil is dry. After it is dry, water it lightly. After about ten days, you can maintain it normally.
