Aloe\u00a0<\/span>Vera<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0belongs to a genus of\u00a0<\/span>xerophilic<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>succulent plants (\u00a0<\/span><\/span>plants<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0adapted to live in environments characterized by long periods of\u00a0<\/span><\/span>drought<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0or an arid or desert climate) of the\u00a0<\/span>Asfodelaceae<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0family , which groups more than 500 species and is native\u00a0<\/span>to Africa<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This extraordinary plant has been known since ancient times for its\u00a0<\/span>benefits<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<\/span>properties<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0, and it is now very easy to find Aloe-based products, both for\u00a0<\/span>internal and\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong>external<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0use\u00a0, for sale in\u00a0<\/span>pharmacies<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0<\/span>herbalists<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and online sites.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Its cultivation is now widespread in many countries of the world located on the\u00a0<\/span>temperate climate<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0belt and in the last 10 years also in the southernmost areas of the\u00a0<\/span>Mediterranean<\/span><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0basin .\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although it is a very\u00a0<\/span>rustic\u00a0<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>plant which therefore does not require sophisticated techniques, its cultivation is not without difficulties and requires some precautions and a\u00a0<\/span>suitable ecosystem<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to make it grow luxuriantly and in good health.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we at\u00a0<\/span>Vonderweid<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>who have been growing Aloe in\u00a0<\/span>Sicily<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>in the open air since\u00a0<\/span>1997<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, would like to explain to you how\u00a0<\/span>Aloe Vera<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0, the most famous and used species of Aloe, is grown.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As regards the\u00a0<\/span>cultivation techniques,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0it must be premised that, obviously, a ”\u00a0<\/span><\/span>productive”<\/span><\/u><\/b>\u00a0type of cultivation must take into account very different logics from those of an\u00a0<\/span>amateur<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0<\/span>home<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0cultivation .<\/span><\/p>\n

We have chosen to\u00a0<\/span>cultivate in rows<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0leaving enough space between one row and another to be able to pass with the tractor and this has proved to be very important for both\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>cleaning<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>harvesting<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0operations .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Experience<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0has\u00a0also advised us to use the\u00a0<\/span>mulching<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0technique , that is to cover the soil around the plants with material to limit the development of\u00a0<\/span>weeds<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and also to\u00a0<\/span>reduce evaporation<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in the hottest months, thus reducing the water requirement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Aloe Vera is a plant that theoretically would not need a lot of water<\/strong> on the contrary, succulents risk deteriorating more due to an excess of water<\/strong> than a lack, however, as stated, industrial cultivation has to do with quite different problems from housewives and therefore in the summer months we are forced to wet the plants at least once a week<\/strong>, preferably at night to reduce evaporation<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Aloe Vera flowers develop in the period <\/span>February – March<\/span><\/strong> , on the top of a very long stem (it can reach up to <\/span>120<\/span><\/strong> cm) and are <\/span>yellow<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong> for the <\/span>Aloe Vera<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and <\/span>red<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span> for the <\/span>Aloe Arborescens<\/span><\/a> .<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Aloe Vera<\/a><\/strong> is a type of plant that needs a mild climate in order to grow at its best, or even to survive.<\/p>\n

In fact, it is very important that the plant is not exposed to temperatures below 3 \u00b0 degrees<\/strong> , as its roots could rot<\/strong> with the consequent death of the plant and its leaves<\/strong> .<\/span><\/p>\n

The multiplication of Aloe plants can mainly take place in <\/span>2 ways<\/span><\/strong> , although there is a <\/span>third<\/span><\/strong> that is little used.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The main multiplication techniques take place either through <\/span>assessed reproduction<\/span><\/strong> thanks to its <\/span>Suckers<\/span><\/em><\/strong> \u00a0being a species of plant that <\/span>clusters<\/span><\/strong> (that type of plants that are enriched with stems in the basal part of the stem forming a tuft) or through <\/span>sexual reproduction<\/span><\/strong> thanks to the <\/span>seed<\/span><\/em><\/strong> produced by the plant . .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This type of multiplication of\u00a0<\/span>Aloe Vera<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 occurs thanks to its\u00a0<\/span>Suckers<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0that grow in the ground all around the mother plant in the\u00a0<\/span>spring<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Suckers<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0are\u00a0nothing more than a\u00a0<\/span>shoot<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0that roots and develops attached to the root collar of the mother plant, therefore able to acquire\u00a0<\/span>the characteristics of the plant itself<\/span><\/span><\/em>\u00a0, a technique used by many plants to keep\u00a0the\u00a0species\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>alive<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To carry out this technique, you must first\u00a0<\/span>choose<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>identify<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0a\u00a0fairly\u00a0large\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>sprout<\/span><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Next, you need to separate the\u00a0<\/span>shoot<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0from the mother plant, taking care to keep the\u00a0<\/span>roots intact<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0It is recommended to use a knife with\u00a0<\/span>a sterile<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>sharp blade<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to ensure the success of the operation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once the\u00a0<\/span>suckers<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0have been separated from the mother plant, they must be left in the open air for a couple of weeks and then planted in the ground, thus creating a\u00a0<\/span>new plant<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If you choose to reproduce Aloe starting from its seeds, you must be aware of the relative <\/span>difficulties<\/span><\/strong><\/em> that can be encountered.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>seeds<\/span><\/em><\/strong> of Aloe plants, being <\/span>Monocotyledons<\/span><\/em><\/strong> , are very <\/span>vulnerable<\/span><\/strong> and sensitive to <\/span>cold<\/span><\/strong> and <\/span>humidity<\/span><\/strong> . It is necessary to pay close attention to the type of soil used, which must be <\/span>sterilized<\/span><\/strong> to avoid the onset of fungi, have a homogeneous <\/span>particle size , and must have a prevailing <\/span><\/strong>humidity<\/span><\/strong> compared to the surrounding air so that the roots can understand where to go to anchor and <\/span>feed<\/span><\/strong> the seedling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best times for this type of multiplication are certainly the spring<\/span><\/em><\/strong> periods and those immediately after the <\/span>summer<\/span><\/em><\/strong> .<\/span><\/p>\n

Another important activity to do before sowing is that of the <\/span>fungicide treatment<\/span><\/strong> , which can only be done with specific natural products in the case of a <\/span>Certified Organic Cultivation<\/span><\/a><\/strong> , such as <\/span>Sulfur<\/span><\/em><\/strong> or <\/span>Copper Salts<\/span><\/em><\/strong> .<\/span><\/p>\n

After making sure you have a sufficiently <\/span>moist<\/span><\/strong> soil , you can spread and cover the seeds in the earth and then you just have to wait and check the correct <\/span>development<\/span><\/strong> of the <\/span>seedlings<\/span><\/strong> .<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This last method is certainly <\/span>the least used<\/span><\/strong> , as the chances of it generating the roots and growing healthy are reduced, since the aloe vera leaves contain a high <\/span>percentage<\/span><\/strong> of <\/span>liquids<\/span><\/strong> and <\/span>tend to rot<\/span><\/strong> before generating the roots.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
