Wasn't doing great before. I've moved so many times and my last place didn't have much direct sunlight.
Long story short. I left him in the sun on my new balcony. Is he cooked?
The really light shoots a warm to the touch and droopy...
The aloe is doing great in hydro. I'm using bio-supersil from bioag at .75 of the low label app rate with Masterblend tomato and vegetable 3 part at 2:1:2 in 4 gallons of water. After the chlorine bubbles off i add .5 tsp of recharge to the reservoir every time I change it with a 1/8 a week after. I change the res once a month. 900+ GPH airpump pushing a 6 inch cylindrical airstone. Ppm around 850 every change.
My Aloe had a little Child and was due for a repotting. So I thought I would just take out the shoot and give it it’s own pot.
Now I noticed, that it was maybe a little to early, and it lacked any roots.
Can I just put it in water or what are my best chances to keep it alive?
Hi! My aloe is top heavy and leaning. I repotted and it’s looking better, it stays up but it’s wonky. Should I add supports or let it rock? Thanks!
these three aloes have been inside my apartment. I’m wondering if I should put them outside I live in Dallas, Texas and it’s extremely hot. What’s the best way to take care of these babies?
I've had this mama aloe plant for over 15 years. Well draining, chunky soil watered only when dry, has massive leaves and is otherwise healthy. She was over 3 foot wide and easily 3'+ above the pot before she got sick. She lives on my covered porch and gets plenty of super bright indirect sun and a good amount of filtered sun. Three years ago, we had over 20 straight days of insane rain, everything was sticky and gooey, even under the covered porch. Mama and about a dozen of my aloes got what I thought what black spot or rust spots. I treated with copper fungicide but it just progressed. I eventually trimmed every leaf that had spots off and disposed, I washed all soil off, it was almost a surgical procedure level event with temporary tables, sanitation of EVERYTHING, almost humorously so. I potted in fresh soil, kept her dry, Treated her with Copper fungicide and now she has spots AGAIN. this plant Is sentimental, but I can't have her infecting all the others I fought to save that are healthy and spot free.
I don't water her leaves but I'm in Florida. It's humid all the darn time. When it rains she might get some mist through the screen. I can't avoid that. Her stem is naked from the trimming I did originally. What can I do? I think I'm supposed to cut these leaves off that have spots but if they're going to keep coming, then what? Also cutting these leaves of means she's going to look like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree again, all naked and choppy. Can I bury the stem deeper? Do I need to chop the top off completely and hope she grows back??
Even the newest baby has spots. Photos to show size and spots.
hi y'all,
I rescued this guy a few days ago; I'm not sure how old he is. at the moment he is kept in a living room with indirect light and I'm not sure when he was last watered. the soil mix looks like houseplant soil and perlite.
I'd love to give him a new start to life so I'm looking for any and all advice.
thank you :)
I need to repot my plant. I have a philodendron soil mix which contains bark perlite and coconut soil. Should I add e.g more perlite to it ? My plants do struggle with drying during winter time so I do wanna make sure it has a proper drainage. I think i need to put it in 15cm pot. Any advise would be welcome
Was gifted this aloe plant about 6 months ago. Repotted and it has been doing well! The very top 4 are all new growth since I’ve had it.
I am curious what can I do to prevent the bend shown in the 3rd picture. As I want this thing to live as long as possible.
What should I be doing besides just watering it?
What is the correct way to harvest?
Any tips welcome. This is the first aloe plant I’ve owned.
I’ve had this aloe for about 2 months now. I used to keep it outside on my east facing balcony but brought it inside under 144W of light 12 hours a day and I water it every 3 weeks to a month. I noticed the tips browning in the past few weeks and it seems to have slowed/stopped but the overall color seems off. I’m pretty new to plants and open to any advice! I also added some pics; 1st is a few weeks after I got it (it was still outdoors), a few weeks after I brought it indoors, and now :(. Someone suggested I may need to increase watering since my apartment is very dry. Help 😭
I got a bucket of Aloe Vera pups from my grandma this morning. They all have a bunch of dead leaves on them but not a lot of roots. Should I be removing all the dead leaves by pruning or peeling or should I just plant them with the dead leaves underground? I peeled some of the dead leaves off the pup in the second photo and the center fell apart like a rotten branch. I want them to do well but I have no idea what I’m doing. Thanks for any help!
Or is it ok to leave it? Is it going to rot?
This aloe has been neglected for quite some time, so it stretched and now is leaning. Now that she has good roots I want to change the pot for a deeper one, so I can bury the stem and she can develop new roots from there and be more stable, but I'm unsure about what to do with the leftovers of her old dried leaves
So she started outside but was getting sunburned so she's inside to the left of a window. but she's lost her bottom leaves, and is curling and leaning. she's a few years old, maybe foot and a half tall.
does she need more light, a bigger pot, buried in the soil more? is this just the way they get when they grow?
it's in a mix of cactus and perlite. watered maybe once a month when soil feels dry. she's growing at the top. ideas?
I'm curious as to what species of Aloe Vera this is. Also wondering why some of the outer, lower leaves are small, shriveled up, and dried out. Thank you in advance!
I’m at a loss, this plant is giving me gray hairs.
She’s started doing much better then out of nowhere yesterday I find a leaf like this
What is this
A friend gave me this plant and told me she had been keeping it on her front porch. I put it on mine and have only had it a couple days. She is looking rough. From other plants I’ve owned I’m thinking I may have got her sun burnt. Will she recover? Should I be doing something to help? Ughhhhh. I’m so bad at keeping aloe.
I don’t know anything but she looks good to me :)
(I have a space problem so this is the only spot I can put her. Wasn’t doing to great on the windowsill)
Its shrivelling up with the leaves going brown, especially the tips. I’m watering it rarely maybe once a month, when I planted it I made the mistake of planting it in a pot with no drainage and since, have been fighting with it to stand up again and look like it’s alive.
I’m trying to figure out if this aloe pup is in the correct condition to repot, I know it needs to callus but should I cut off any of the bottom or let it sit?
Thanks
