DETALLES
Instrucciones de cuidado
Aloe arborescens thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It can tolerate low humidity levels and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant is relatively easy to care for and can be grown both indoors and outdoors.Suelo
Aloe arborescens prefers sandy soil with good drainage. A cactus or succulent soil mix is ideal, as it prevents water from accumulating around the roots, which can lead to rot. Ensure the soil is well-draining to keep the plant healthy.Fertilizante
Fertilize Aloe arborescens with a balanced succulent fertilizer, such as a 2-4-4 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a month, to provide the necessary nutrients without overfeeding.Trasplante
Repot Aloe arborescens every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and use a well-draining succulent soil mix. Handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging the roots.Propagación
Aloe arborescens can be propagated through offsets or cuttings. Remove offsets from the base of the plant and allow them to dry for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Cuttings should be taken from healthy stems, allowed to callous over, and then planted in sandy soil.Poda
Prune Aloe arborescens to remove dead or damaged leaves and to maintain its shape. Pruning can be done at any time of the year, but it is best to do it during the growing season. Use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts.Toxicidad
Aloe arborescens is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, ingestion of large quantities may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort. The sap can be irritating to the skin for some individuals, so it is advisable to handle the plant with care.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
