Well, my aloe vera survived this winter temperatures range from 0 to -7 with snow for 3 consecutive days. It was outside the hole year , under a patio but the snow with the wind reached the plant. After this hard freeze the plant just loose 3 ĺeafs as they were froze and melted from these temperatures. Then after two weeks and second freeze wave came but I have just put a cloth on my aloe vera . Now it is still thriving and is huge than ever before! So my suggestion is to cover any aloe plant with a cloth or place it under a bulding or in a patio. Just don't let them sit outside exposed to snow and ice because they will melt like an ice cream! I loose 4 aloes whith that way this year! In addition everyone in a cold climate should try the aloe aristata .... Cold hardy to -12!!! Cheers from Greece
I needed this video. My sister gave me two huge aloe Vera plants and I noticed that they were rotting so I put them outside in the sun. Now they are brown and dried up.
I feel your pain, I had a 10 year old Madagascar Palm tree, that fell off the table, and it pretty much killed it 😢. It just went down hill from there.
Help! The recent frost in Texas has hurt my 2 aloe plants and one of my succulents. What can I do for them to help them?? 😥😥 my poor plants! I brought then into the house but im not seeing any improvement.... HELP!
Trim off any dead parts of the plant and bring them inside if it is still much too cold. You don’t want them to go through another temperature shock so maybe move them in stages from coldest locations of your home first and then gradually moving into warmer locations. Don’t repot or fertilize anything either. The best think you can do is change as little as possible while keeping away from damaging cold.
Happy to find this. My mom gave me a plant she couldn't ID & wasn't fond of.. it was struggling and she'd tried what she could think of to do.. offered it to me (I'm not a good gardener... she is awesome! But I said I'd take it n try. I think her home/yard is mostly shaded) I started in shade.. it remained sad.. tried getting help IDing it.. fb friends gave me about 6-10 possibilities but none of their plants REALLY matched mine.. I did learn it's a variety of Aloe.. i moved it to one of my sunniest areas.. watered it less often (aside from rain... has good drainage!) .. it has begun showing new leaves! I guessed about the dead leaves - though I instead cut them short with scissors.. ill now try to more fully remove them! Now I think of it.. the new leaves may have really begun to show after i cut the sad ones 🤷🏼♀️ i forget for sure.. seems i now remember i may have wanted to try getting them off to take less of the water and nutrients to see if it would help it in some way.. Anyways so glad I found this video! It does help me feel i did right.. with the leaves at especially! 😃
I sat mine outside last summer in FULL SUN, HOT SUN, and the leaves appeared to get sunburned. I was so upset bc it was absolutely gorgeous then it looked pitiful and sickly. Its still trying to recover. Not sure about your recommendation.
I put my aloe outside for 24 hours and it went from beautiful to brown and dead! Reading and it says to never place in direct sunlight because it will burn them. Curious how this lines up with what you’re saying to place in as much sunlight as possible. I destroyed mine this way. 🥺
Of your aloe Vera turns brown it means that it's adjusting to your environment and if it's green then the adjustment has completed they take weeks or months to complete the adjustment or your aloe Vera is sun stressed or burnt
Hey! Aloes can take full sunlight, but if they are used to being grown indoors and you put them in full sun without an adjustment period they will get sunburnt and turn red/brown. To avoid sunburn start it off in a shady spot and gradually raise its light level. I have definitely given my poor aloe a sunburn before but it recovered just fine, good luck with your's, hope this helps!
I was looking for guidance and knowledge for my aloe vera. Thank you very much. Can't help but see plant abuse. I committed the crime also. Moved to Vegas and left "Marvin" in the back of the truck, uncovered in 113° heat and sun.
Mine currently looks just like this, just about to bloom as well. After removing dead leaves, how long do you wait to repot? And do you cover the now exposed stem? Thanks!
Can someone help me! My aloe leaves are still very green but some have gone quite flat (not much aloe gel inside) and have bent in half, should i cut these off or can they heal??
I would go ahead & take them off so they dont continue to pull nutrients away from new growth. Also, adding perlite to your fast draining potting soil at about a 50/50 ratio will help immensely.... also make sure its in a terracotta or clay pot. Nothing glazed or plastic. Hope this helps
My cactus are in ground I did cover wasn't able to uncover for almost a month dues to harsh freezing conditions now the look soggy do I need to cut the soggy parts of there not aloe vera but in the family so any advice be grateful Thanks 😊
My nephew knocked mine over and it looks horrible. I repotted it but I am not sure it will be okay. He broke all the new growth and the larger leaves are bent and brown.
Expedition Homestead. I have an overgrown aloe vera. Which is growing out of its pot spreading sideways from the pot. There is some black areas of the leaves. But I have new growth. Do do I need to do anything ?
Hello! Could o please get some help? My aloe Vera has been doing SO GOOD since summer. So much growth and healthy leaves but suddenly this week my big aloe Vera and baby aloe Vera started to have droopy leaves. Leaves that are mushy. I haven’t watered them in weeks and it’s so weird they did it at the same time! HELP!
Hi please help😅 ive had an aloe vera plant for a couple years maybe 4 so its a bit big and thick and i normally keep it outside this year we had more snow than the last couple years and i had thought that it would be fine but when i saw the aloe all the leaves had droopy tips so i took it inside asap and now that it got warmer the leaves started to droop way more and its all squishy is there any way to save it it made me so sad it just started having babies🥺😖😣
Seeing this now for the first time, the video was posted two years ago, do you have a video of the update on the plant? I shocked the hell out of my aloe plant and wanted to do this process, but I also wanted to see your results! Thanks for the help!
Hye, My Dracanea Marginata is over water because my place raining everyday. How can I save it? Because i already cut the top trunk with the leaf. Now the trunk slowly died, and smelly😭
If your aloe Vera is overwatered Cut the plant off the roots and air-dry both plant them the root part will give you pups and the top part will root hope this helps
My plants look like there’s a worm at the very bottom and starting to droop over, then falling off from the root. Pot is overcrowded and may be overwatered..🤦🏾♀️ Can you please help me?
if the leaves look brown and mushy maybe try shaking all the dirt off the roots and wrapping it in newspaper until it dries, also try removing and leaves that have completely been damaged
I have a question i left my aloe outside it snowed it was under a covered porch but its all soft will it live or is it a loss it was only for 24hours we didnt kno it was gonna snow an tempature drop like it did
