I’ve found the opposite. When I move my aloe into a more shaded area of the garden it always looks much better. I’ve done this many times over many years and I’d settled on the hypothesis that they prefer shadier rather than sunnier spots 😮😊
Agreed. My plant was going brown, thought it was dying. It was by a glass door, which I thought was a perfect, very light spot. Then I learned from RU-vid that it was getting too much light. I moved it to a shadier room, and within 4 days it was nearly back to normal. It's never been happier than sitting in the middle of my living room., nowhere near any windows or doors.
Yup mines looks brown in the sun and that’s with a white shade filtering it soon as I move back to kitchen island lots of shade it perks up and gets greener lol
This is a great video! I did notice that she's not answering people's questions, though, and that's too bad. Interaction with those who follow is really important, I think.
I've rescued a new aloe vera plant yesterday and learning lots about it! It was completely dry in the soil and the leaves were going soft! And found one leaf that was completely dead on it when I found her at the store! So my staff members helped me get her! And once she was home I watered her the correct way! And I plan on getting everything she needs to survive better! Thanks for your video it helps me out!
I got my mom's aloe yesterday and I a bit worried because my unit will not be the same light as it was at her house. It was in the sun too long and she put it in the shade and she said it's doing a lot better. I put it on top of my suitcase near the window lol hopefully it's enough sunlight. Needs a good drink of water too and my old cactus. Sending love from my Jamaican flavored breadfruit roasting roots 🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲
Please help. My aloe vera leaves are dark green, hard and only seem to produce liquid instead of gel😢 I live in a hot sunny place. So they get a lot of sun and grow upward, but I would like for them to produce gel, not just liquid. Any tips?
Thanks for explaining that aloin might be responsible for why I was only ever able to use the store-bought aloe. I gave a 75 year old (inherited) Aloe plant to a friend a few years back, because I couldn't figure out what the "problem" was. I can't wait to buy one soon... since I now live in Germany, it might be more difficult to give her (my medicinal plants are always with a female pronoun) enough light... but indoor grow lights should do the trick.
I’ve been using Aloe Vera my whole life and my parents and grand parents. I know all about the yellow latex stuff. But have u ever seen Aloe Vera gel with a red or hot pink tint on top of the gel? I used some tea tree oil in some gel I had ran through my nutri bullet to make frozen cubes for cleansing my face. I thought I had gotten all the yellow stuff out but the tea tree oil actually made more appear and separated it. I tried putting a few drops of tea tree oil in this gel with the pink stuff on top. It turned all the gel I had poured off the top of it red. I’ve never seen anything like this b4. It’s also the same plant and off shoots I’ve been using for 7+ years for it’s gel. I’ve went through so many Aloe Vera videos. Looked on line, nothing! Was curious if u knew anything about this hot pink, red gel on top of the aloe Vera gel. I’ve used it like the other gel, just used an eye dropper that sucked the gel from the bottom. Not brave enough to use the different colored stuff off the top. If I’ve heard or seen anything like this let me know please.
I would have liked to have seen a handful of soil spread over the table perhaps so's I can know the texture, consistency. And why does soaking in water fix the aloin? chemical reaction or simply dissolves in the water?
My Aloes burn every year in Central Florida, they are in ground and shaded partially throughout the day, almost impossible for them not to burn in the full sun in Florida during summer
I brought a nice big plant for £5. But noticed the tips brown. It is over the other side of the room. Where light comes in. I did repot it keeping the original soil on the roots. But I don't know if I added to much water? I use tap water.
@mindtheleaves9914 i have an aloe for about 1 year ,it has no pups ,i barrely wait to grow pups ,do you know how much i have to wait for the aloe to grow some pups?
Mine got knocked down by a cat, yesterday. If you can just firmly press it into place, do that, and perhaps, add a chopstick or something that you can push in all the way to the bottom of the pot, and then use a ribbon (or something else that's more gentle) and just prop it upright.
Can you use the aloe gel from any aloe or only from the aloe vera plant? I have a mitre aloe and was wondering if I could use it's gel for an excema type problem I have currently.
To get rid of the latex you trim the edges, cut the leaf, and let it soak in water for an hour. To be safe I let it soak in water overnight in the refrigerator.
You're quirky and adorable. 😋 Thanks for the video. I just learned that I have been growing the wrong species of Aloe for like 7 years! Lucky I only had the gel internally a couple of times, whoops!
repotting.. you want to keep your succulents in the smallest pot that you can that keeps them from falling over, if they are so top heavy that they fall over thats a sign to repot, or put it into a heavier container if you are growing in plastic pots.. but dont go up too large.. you want to limit the amount of soil its in so when you water there isnt so much moisture that the plant cant use it
you can chop them into smaller pieces and add to the soil of whatever you might be growing - including back the soil of the mother plant. I hope you'll see this💚
You absolutely should! it's such a great plant to have around the house. Try these tips and see if you can't make one your friend. Sending you good vibes! :)
My aloe plant looks great. I haven’t seen any signs in the actual leaves but every time I water it, the soil is bone dry by the next day. I don’t want to water it again because I’m scared of overwatering. It’s in the same container/soil that I bought it in. But the soil dries up so fast. Any idea why this could be happening?
Sounds like too much water but I could be wrong. I have drizzled a tiny bit of hydrogen peri oxide in my soil before to kill anything weird. Not a ton though just a couple tiny drips.
There is some misinformation here , my goodness …. I want to start but it’s quite a bit , as a Aloe Vera grower this is frustrating… I clicked just to see if it was any new information, I’ve been growing for a few years now, I have 27 Aloe Vera’s , I started with ONE💚💚💚I absolutely LOVE my ALOES!!! If ANYONE has questions you are more than free to ask me!!! I wish I could post s picture of my beautiful beauties💚💚💚💚💚
Im from ST Thomas and this is everywhere. Evwrybody uses for medicine for intestinal cleansing and digestion with coffee or alone. We dont really have them as house plants because you can walk anywhere in any dorection and you will find a billion of these everywhere you walk 🤷
