The queen of aloe is different from the ordinary aloe plants. It can't reproduce asexually. It can only wait for the queen of aloe to self pollinate after flowering, and the seeds collected can be planted.
However, the obtained seeds are not completely active, and if the dormant seeds are obtained, they will not be able to reproduce. The former is uncontrollable factor, the latter is controllable factor.
When sowing, first dig a small pit of about 5cm or a pit of seed depth in the basin soil, fill the pit with water, wait for the water to penetrate, and then bury the fertilizer and seeds in the soil together.
The dormancy of seeds can be removed by cold and wet layer treatment, and the air permeability of seeds can be increased by alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and other liquids, but the germination rate will not be increased.
In 1995, Huntington botanical garden has completed the artificial pollination of aloe queen, increased the seed production rate, more convenient for the planting and reproduction of aloe queen.
Vegetative reproduction is a kind of artificial vegetative reproduction. This method can keep the excellent characters of the mother to the greatest extent. If the aloe queen in the family has strong vitality, it can be propagated in this way.
This way of reproduction is to select a part of rhizome with strong growth activity of aloe queen, and put it into a specific nutrient solution or nutrient soil.
Because it is too difficult for the queen of aloe to get her seeds, the price of her potted plants is very high, even the price of one seed is about 10 euros. So Xiaobian reminds you that if there is a pot of aloe at home, the queen must cherish its seeds.
