The popularity of aloe is due to its inherent medicinal properties.
If you do not want the flower to lose its useful qualities, as well as its decorative appearance, you should take care of a sufficient amount of nutrients, reminds the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
The following signs indicate that the plant needs to be provided with nutrition:
- the plant's trunk has become thinner and more elongated;
- the tips of the leaves turned yellow and dried out;
- the leaves are no longer as bright and elastic;
- those leaf blades that are located below fall off;
- young shoots break off.
Therefore, if you notice that your aloe has stopped growing, make sure to saturate it with nitrogen.
Sulfur deficiency manifests itself as dying off of bunches and the appearance of red spots on the leaves.
If the leaves have become wilted, the aloe vera plant probably needs fluorine, since a deficiency of this element negatively affects the process of photosynthesis and leads to disruption of the respiratory processes.
If the root system has stopped developing, it is time to add calcium and phosphorus. These same elements are required when the trunk begins to dry out.
Finally, you will have to stock up on potassium if the edges of the leaves turn yellow and their tips dry out.
