Aloe and Agave Collection 1 (September 2018)

It seems so long ago! (2 months) The first ever 'collection' video from Kirkstone featuring Aloes and Agaves together with their respective family members. How does your collection compare?

[@vinajalipa9606]

Love your video, I am a certified Aloe/Agave fanatics😂

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Thank you so much! There are quite a few of us about check out next months Agave series!

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Vina Jalipa that’s a really good point my friend! I think it should!

[@anttikuusmetso]

I found today a poor painted Aloe Cosmo in our local florist shop. Remembering your kind words about this plant I bought it hoping that in some time it will overgrow painted part and become fantastic gorgeous plant again. So, WE have saved it! ))) Thanks again!

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

It will! They’re very tough! Over time it will flourish and repay your kindness. Well done!

[@williamkallenbach7461]

Great collection ! Just added several more plants to my wish list 🙂

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Let us see them!

[@williamkallenbach7461]

I am lusting after a couple of the large leaved plants in your video which I had never seen before @@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424

[@anttikuusmetso]

Nice video, very beautiful plants, many thanks!

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Thank you so much!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Superb. Would love to get my hands on some of them.

Hello and I find myself coming back to this great video again. You have so many wonderful aloe varieties and 'Christmas Sleigh' is definitely on my wish list. I hope you are well although not making so many videos any more. I am thinking of making a video on my top 10 wishlist plants and was wondering if you had a photo of Christmas Sleigh that you would allow me to use in the video. I would of course mention this super vid in mine. Thanks for your time and happy new year. Rachel

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

No, I’ve been sidetracked on another project but I’m working on one now so we’ll be back very VERY soon and thanks for the encouragement Rachel, you have no idea how much it means. Keep yourself safe!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

@@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424 Can't wait

[@OfftoShambala]

At 7:21 aloe cosmo … love that … I will be adding that to my list of aloes for my landscape design

[@LoulousCorner]

What a lovely collection!! And then I saw you have 2 more videos! You have so many amazing species, thanks for sharing 😍

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Loulou's Corner you’re super welcome my friend! There are many many more videos on Agaves and Aloes, check out Succulent Showcase and, of course, tell us what you think

[@CactusCaffeine]

Beautiful! Makes me want to start my own collection.

[@tylervanmeter5628]

Somehow I thought I would find you here 😂🤣🤣

[@Brother_Nature.]

thank you for this educational video.

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

You're very welcome my friend - I'm sp pleased you enjoyed it!

[@Cactimania]

Awesome my friend, loving the new style of videos 👌

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Thank you! Its all about that attention to detail!

[@davidofford3173]

Great video. I have grown most of the featured plants. While the Aloe hybrids from California look wonderful some are difficult/shortlived. Presently I'm not Gasterias in a serious way so the intergeneric hybrids are interesting.

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Absolutely! I love Gasteraloes! Have you checked Planet Gasteraloe on FB David? They’re great!

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

addendum to the commentary - the plant that was bought clearly labelled as Aloe Haworthiodes was subsequently identified as the hybrid 'cultivar' - 'PePe', so NB that please! Thanks!

[@navdeepsingh-pk5qk]

Agave is most beautiful plant on earth,Kindly tell which of them looks most beautiful,suggest one for indoor and one for terrace top

[@TCGgameplays]

I think the haworthia pentagona you mentioned is a Aloe Black Gem

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

It absolutely is - I know a lot more about the correct name of some of the plants on the older videos now but amazingly, the ‘Black Gem’ hybrid is still usually seen in Garden Centres as H pentagona which is the name it was supplied with 😜

[@bushwalker6214]

I like the introduction music. It should be called HEAVY BOTANY !

[@sarahtara5546]

I have a type of aloe that blooms a big, pink flower and is very spiky. I'm not sure what the variety is called & it hasn't blossomed since I got it. How can I figure out what kind it is?

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

There are some really good supportive FB sites that might help if you can post pics up, such as facebook.com/groups/PlanetSpeciesAloesCBSGroup/

[@alhashimi786]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I want to get some more Aloes but I am restricted in terms of space. Can you please recommend some Dwarf/Small aloe species that do not make up for their diminutive size by clumping profusely. I prefer species rather than hybrids.

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Asaaalam u Alaikum! Kayf haluq? Ana bi khair! أفضل شيء للقيام بالأخ ، هو فقط إلقاء نظرة فاحصة على الفيديو وأيضاً صفحة facebook وتحديد أي منها تحبه حقاً! تحتوي صفحة الفيسبوك على مئات من صور الصبر ، ومن المؤكد أن هناك بعض الصور التي تريدها. إن شاء الله ستجد بعضًا سوف تكون سعيدًا به!

[@mairwaugus5203]

Firebird stays small, & is unusual.

[@ronaldarchibald2506]

Nice collection

[@sallyyoung8546]

do you plant your aloes. In stones only?

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Sally Young Great question Sally! The ‘stones’ or horticultural grit is just on top of the compost to stop soil washing away and also to make the plants look nice!

[@bacfacilecom]

Name : aloe juvenna

[@GALANICED]

It looks aloe pepe. The one you said aloe haworthioides.

[@brocktoon8]

I WANT HUMILIS!!!!! : O

[@kirkstonebotanicalsforgrow5424]

Of course! It’s fantastic!
