More on aloe propagation here my plant babies: https://www.epicgardening.com/how-to-propagate-aloe-plants/
Got an aloe plant from my sister about 8 years ago, and i did not take good care of it, probably cause i wasn't into gardening at the time. Last year I got into gardening because I was indoors a lot(you know why). And i started taking better care of my aloe plant. Little did I know I was jumping straight into gardening with a plant that isn't necessarily for beginners. Through a couple of mistakes I was close to killing my plant between root rot and too much direct sunlight. Flash forward a year and a half, my plant went from about the size of a baseball to bigger than a basketball. And now i have about a dozen new plants that I'm growing from the main plant.
I've got 4. The first I got a whole aloe plant. It was very straw colored and pale. I got them all from my mom who has lots of healthy plants. I put it outside and it turned ORANGE. I brought it inside with the grow light with the rest of my plants and its now turning a lovely vibrant green. Same with the 3 cuttings or pups I've got. They are all little babies and where almost like gray when I got them. May have been from my gma actually. But I put them with my first aloe and they are all turning deep healthy green. Well they turned beautiful green already. Haven't seen any growth yet in any of them just saw them get sick fast and then healthy slowly. I'm excited to see them grow I hope I can keep em healthy. Also I water from the bottom or with a sprayer honestly directly at the soil at the base of the plant. Here in a couple months I'm sure I'll find out if I'm doing it wrong. A lot of my plants take a while to start up growing when I first bring them home very young, then they start growing like crazy.
I bought an aloe from the store in the beginning of summer maybe a few months ago, I did repot it because what it came in was not in good condition. I'm worried that a leaf may be too large or get too heavy. I'm not sure If I should repot it again this year or wait until winter. Can I send you a picture of it and see what you think? I'm new to all this and would like to get another aloe!
I haven't killed many maybe two but I have about six because of pups. My issue is they're long but not thick. I neglect them a lot lol i keep them on my bookshelf, they did much better on my porch but they kept getting sunburned so I brought them in. I keep mine in terracotta orchid pots with cactus soil and honestly, I water them every few months bc I forget lol. They pup on their own just fine and I make sure they get a thorough watering and then I forget about them bc they don't like being wet.
I got a small aloe vera plant from Walmart yesterday
My aloe grows in full sun all day and it’s thriving it loves the sun
I've killed 2 aloe and I'm currently on my third with a pup so fingers crossed lol
What is that in shingle wall behind ?
My aloe is thriving very well, it's survived the heat wave because I moved them before they got sunburned. I have two varieties and hoping to add more when I have room for them
I heard that we can eat aloe vera
I have this aloe plant and it has multiplied so much that they just lay there. Doesn't look good, how or what do I do with it?
I think most people water them too much.
thanks
my aloe ist roughly 1 1/2 years old and I already killed it twice. The second time it was root rot and I thought I'd lost it. turns out: No. It's alive and already produced offspring. One tiny little baby aloe is now growing next to mom 😀
You didn’t say how to plant it
I have killed maybe 10 aloe vera plants. They are usually dying after I transplant to a new pot.
I had a huge one that lasted 5 years in its original pot. Now I see where I went wrong.
Thanks for the advice.
Lots of understanding. Thanks.
i need to try growing an aloe again. mom and i both killed ours lol
i have a problem underwatering my aloe. it seems to like waterings way more than my other succulents. still have not killed it and it constantly has new growth.
Me and my mom are growing a aloe by this kit we got at spring and we planted it around end of spring and after a few weeks it sprouted. One day i knocked it over on accident and i picked up the small sprout and put it back in dirt hoping i didnt ruin it but its still alive and growing very slowly but it got its 3rd little leaf thing about a week or 2 ago and i hope it survives the cold and last longer it has been a fun journey growing aloe by seed
How do you get some starter off of the plant to plant others? Had one in my younger days I might of water it to much I'm not for sure when to water them I just bought 3 of them Thanks so much for sharing Amen May God always bless ya
I thought Aloe was good for sunburn ! LOL
Why didn’t you propagate the huge Aloe leaf , instead of cutting it up , what a shame ……..
How do yours save aloe from brown spots and spider mites?
Would you grow Alovea in a glass container, it would be great as a gift. How do you suggest watering ?
