The potting time for aloe vera should be in spring and summer, when the indoor temperature is between 15-18°C, which is more suitable. Under suitable temperature conditions, the roots grow quickly and the recovery time is short. It is not suitable to pot in winter, as the temperature is too low. After potting aloe vera, it is not conducive to the growth of new roots, and seedlings may even rot or the plant may die.
Before potting, it is necessary to select healthy aloe vera seedlings with short and thick leaves, deep green color, and at least 4 self-roots. When potting, first place some broken tiles at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage and ventilation, then add some well-prepared substrate, place the seedling in the pot, try to spread the roots, cover the roots with soil, slightly lift the seedling up, slightly compact the soil to make the roots closely contact with the substrate on all sides, and then fill the soil to about 2 centimeters away from the pot edge. Finally, water thoroughly to complete the potting.
Aloe vera plants generally need to be repotted every 1-2 years, and spring is a good time for repotting. When repotting, you can turn the pot over, hold the soil with your left hand, and knock the pot edge hard with your right palm. When the pot and the soil naturally separate, then move the aloe vera with the soil clump into a larger new pot, add new potting soil around the pot, compact the soil with your hands, and then water thoroughly. That is the introduction on how to pot and repot aloe vera.
