And there’s one called Lace Aloe that used to be in the Aloe genus, but is now in its very own: Aristaloe. Sure fire way to tell if it’s an aloe or haworthia will be the flower color. Aloe blooms are clusters of red, orange or yellow tubular-shaped bells, while haworthia flowers are tiny and white. Aristaloe flowers look more like aloe flowers.

The explanation about lighting and elongation or etiolation in cacti is accurate but I don't think this is Aloe Vera. I think this is Aloe Ciliaris aka climbing aloe. I hope this help you get proper care tips. It looks excellent. Aloe Vera has very thick succulent leaves and my climbing aloe has thin succulent leaves, that's why I don't think ...

May 31, 2015 · This probably isn't the best method but I feel that it's the best way for me to avoid over-watering something. Most plants will become limp and floppy when they need water, and I imagine this is the same for aloe vera (although I'm quite new to owning aloe plants, so don't quote me on that, I'm going by trial and error).

Letting it get too cold can have the same effect, so don’t let your aloe get colder than 50 degrees F. (10 C.). Too much water can also be an issue and lead to an aloe plant flopping over. A simple watering strategy for aloe is to wait for the soil to dry out entirely and then wet it completely. Tip out any excess water.

Apr 7, 2021 · I don't have experience, but aloe, just like other succulents uses CAM photosynthesis, which means that it absorbs CO2 only at night, the reverse of non-succulent plants. This is a big limiting factor and explains why succulents grow slowly. Not sure if hydro would help and how much if the photosynthetic bottleneck if very narrow.

Sep 24, 2022 · Got for a big pot since Aloe Vera tends to grow quite big and it’s quite a task to repot then. Also, they are very hard to kill and give off small offshoots that can be propagated into a new plant. I have had to give away 3-4 aloe Vera …

Jun 29, 2024 · But every picture I've seen of it online has been as a potted plant. I have yard space that I want to fill out with things we like and Aloe is a pretty plant. If I plant it in the ground, I can't bring it in. On the flip side, I don't have indoors spaces that get good sun so I struggle with winterizing plants in pots.

Feb 22, 2020 · Hi the reason why Aloe Vera plants should always be in pots with drain holes is this: If an Aloe Vera is in a pot without them, over time excess water can build up in the bottom of the pot. This excess water is then absorbed back in to the soil keeping the soil and roots to wet. Aloe Vera roots need both water but also a dry period between ...

Aug 31, 2019 · Aloe contains plant hormones that help stimulate new root growth, aid in seed germination, and can ease or prevent transplant shock. We try to water our newly transplanted seedlings with aloe vera, especially if they’re looking stressed. Another way to prevent transplant shock is properly hardening off indoor seedlings before they are planted ...

I have been growing Aloe in doors for years- they are everyone’s favorite plants when they come to my house.. mine have all grown really quickly. monsterAloeVera. These are 5 years old. And 2 flowered this year! I agree this needs more light. And a different pot.
