Aloe wilting is usually caused by improper maintenance, such as lack of water, excessive watering, insufficient light, unsuitable temperature, or soil problems. To revive wilted aloe vera, you can try the following methods: 1. Check and adjust watering
Moderate watering: Aloe vera prefers a dry environment, but it should not be dehydrated for a long time. Check the soil moisture. If the soil has dried completely, it needs to be watered immediately, but avoid water accumulation. When watering, it should be ensured that the water can penetrate to the roots, rather than just staying on the soil surface.
Avoid excessive watering: If the soil is too wet or if there are signs of decay in the roots of aloe vera, stop watering immediately and move the aloe vera to a well ventilated area to allow excess water to evaporate. 2. Improve lighting conditions
Increase light exposure: Aloe vera requires sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis, and if left in the dark for a long time, it can cause the leaves to wilt and soften. Move the aloe vera to a sunny place, such as a balcony or windowsill, but avoid prolonged direct sunlight, especially strong midday sunlight.
Avoid direct sunlight: Although aloe vera requires sunlight, excessive sunlight can burn the leaves. During high temperatures in summer, it is advisable to provide shade or move to areas with scattered light. 3. Adjust temperature
Maintain appropriate temperature: The suitable growth temperature for aloe vera is 15-25 ℃. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the growth of aloe vera. When it is cold in winter, aloe vera should be moved indoors to a warm place to avoid freezing. 4. Change soil
Check the soil: If the soil is compacted, impermeable, or lacks nutrients, it can lead to poor growth of aloe vera. At this point, soil replacement can be considered.
Choose suitable soil: Aloe vera prefers loose and well drained soil. Aloe vera can be cultivated using a soil mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and river sand in a certain proportion. 5. Fertilization
Moderate Fertilization: Aloe vera requires an appropriate amount of nutrients during its growth process. If not fertilized for a long time or overfertilized, it can lead to poor growth of aloe vera. During the growth period, thin fertilizers such as composted cake fertilizer water or compound fertilizer can be applied every month or so. 6. Other precautions
Check for pests and diseases: Sometimes aloe wilting may be caused by pests and diseases. Aloe vera leaves and roots should be regularly inspected, and if any pests or diseases are found, they should be dealt with promptly.
Avoid excessive touching: Aloe vera leaves are relatively fragile, and excessive touching or squeezing may cause damage to the leaves. During the maintenance process, unnecessary touching should be avoided as much as possible.
By using the above methods, withered aloe vera can usually be revived. However, different varieties of aloe vera and their growth environments may vary, so the maintenance methods should be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation during the maintenance process.
