First, remove the aloe from the basin, then trim its root system, and cut off all the old and weak roots. After that, gently break off the buds emerging from the bottom of aloe, pay attention to the root system, and put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound. Finally, prepare the loose and permeable nutrient soil, wet the soil surface with a watering can, and put the side buds into the soil to compact it.

1. Take off the basin

Three to five days before splitting, do not water aloe, let its pot soil dry, easy to take off the pot. When you take off the pot, you should hold the root of aloe with one hand, and turn the flowerpot upside down with the other hand, so that you can easily take off the aloe.

2. Trim the root system.

After the aloe is taken out of the basin, it will be found that there are messy roots in the small lateral buds. At this time, it needs to be trimmed to facilitate the removal of lateral buds. First, clean the soil near the lateral buds, and then cut off the old root, weak root and rotten root.

3. Ramets

First of all, gently break off the buds from the bottom of aloe. Take care not to use force to avoid damaging the root system of the plant. If you can't break it off, you can use a knife to cut it off. When separating the lateral buds, it should be noted that the separated lateral buds should have roots, which is convenient for survival. Then put the broken buds in a cool and ventilated place for a period of time, wait for the wound to dry.

4. Basin loading

Prepare the loose and breathable nutrient soil, and then wet the soil surface slightly with a watering can to make the soil a little moist. Then dry the lateral buds of the wound. Let the root system of the lateral bud extend, put it into the nutrient soil, and then compact the soil. Don't water the basin immediately after serving. You can water it in about 3 days.
