Aloe Care | Repotting | Propagation | Water | Light

[@megmathisen9072]

I’ve always been an over watering type person so I started watching a lot of videos on aloe. This has been by far the most informative. Thank you.

[@usewisdom2]

Absolutely, totally agreed. I tend to overwater also, have had a few dying leaves falling over too.

[@patwagner9308]

We have had a huge aloe vera for probably 20 years, sitting on a table right by a big south-facing window. In the Summer, I close the curtains when the sun comes around to that window because it helps keep our room more comfortable....so that has inevitably helped the aloe, too. The leaves have never been sunburned. It isn't in any special soil....just plant potting soil. It has pups. It seems happy.

[@busker153]

I am also in Tucson, AZ (zone 9a), and a customer of our yardwork business gave us an aloe vera plant (our customers love us!). That had to be about 5 years ago now. Well, I totally ignored it. A couple summers ago, during the super heat we had for months and months, my entire patch (it grew to about a 3 foot diameter patch!) was all brown, purple, burnt tips (tips? half the leaf!). We were fully persuaded it was all dead! Well, our super monsoon rains this year have my aloe vera plants all full, green, and vibrant! My aloe has a solid case of massive abuse against me, but all's well that ends well, right? (If you agree, tell my aloe plants, please! LOL) Now, I am planning to harvest some pups, and practice propagation so I can start selling potted aloe vera plants in terra cotta pots.

@@farihash3498 if you live in tropical country like Philippines, please don't let it outside with direct sunlight. They turn brown if I let them grow without shade so I place them under our tree.

[@donaldoutdoors]

I just purchased my first aloe plant. I found your video looking to take care of it. I'm repotting it today into a terra cotta pot and will leave it dry for about a week before I water it. Thank you for the information. I'm in USDA zone 7a (0°F to 5°F) and 7b (5°F to 10°F).

[@carlgomm9699]

I'm in zone 10 here in Florida,I put mine out on rainy overcast days, most of the time they're all inside near a window, such a nice show, I subscribed to your channel because of the quality of the video

[@autumn5852]

Very helpful, thank you - I was buying mine when the roots were already rotting due to over watering, once I found this out, I was able to save the last one by taking it out of the soil and leaving it to dry out for a few days before re-potting in cactus soil; however, I then realised it wasn’t getting enough light, then I gave it too much light and it got sun burnt, it recovered from that but then I realised I was under watering it, so now, armed with more info, I think I will be able to give my plant everything it needs to thrive - I won’t be giving up, it’s been quiet the journey but I’ve learned a lot about plant care just from this one plant (and the two that didn’t survive 😢), so it’s very special to me, although all my plants are… …I’m just at the start of my plant parenting journey and I’m learning so much from them already, they have actually given me a life - having lived most of my life with undiagnosed autism and adhd, I could never find a reason to live, but plants have given me that, it’s so weird how they have affected my life and although it’s very early doors, I want to somehow at some point use plants to somehow bring people, hopefully communities, closer together and inject some real life into people’s lives to bring more love and joy into the world ❤️ I can’t bare the world that most people live in today and yesterday (it was Mother’s Day here in the UK) I spent the day with my son and his family and I found out from them that there’s a war going on in Ukraine and I’m amazed that in 2020 people are still going along with things like this 😭 I would rather stand and be killed than take any part in any kind of war, what’s the point??? Haven’t people realised yet that you don’t get love, peace and joy from separation, hate and fighting/war 😢

I have been keeping my aloe indoors and have kept it in windows and under grow lights and it’s doing great

[@kyavner]

I live in Nova Scotia Canada and my aloe plant spent the summer outside. It made a TON of babies and I didnt have enough pots for them so I tied them up with twine and have them hanging in my window temporarily, until I get more pots. I give them a spritz of water now and then.

[@amethystrain2513]

You're such a bright light! I must admit, I'm a houseplant and garden lover. However I have killed so many poor aloe plants 😢. So this video was much needed, thank you. I either over it water it it absolutely underwater.

[@ThisAintNews]

I grow Aloe all of the year around in the UK. My house is full, Paul's potty pots on facebook. I grow it and use it, get one, grow it and keep them forever. As she said, you can use this everyday! I do and I have the smoothest skin in town.

[@tania52644]

I don't have a green thumb at all ... I'm a notorious plant killer. Which is pretty funny considering my dad grew up living the farm life. I was born and raised near NYC though so I never learned anything about planting and growing. My daughter has given me plants on occasion for mothers day and they always wind up dying. I think maybe I was over watering them ? I enjoy watching these videos ... I never realized different plants have different needs. It inspires me to try again and this time I might actually keep them alive. Thanks for the information and tips.

[@saraagren8269]

Just bought my first aloe at ikea yesterday. And today your video popped up in my feed. This was super helpful. Thank you. 😊

[@iartistdotme]

Great information. I'm in 9a but Florida where it rains and rains and rains, except during the late spring. Then I water daily so - I moved the aloe to full sun and didn't water it but the plants near by.. They were dying in the midday sun but it may have been from too much water. This video really gave me the info to help them survive ME. LOL I also new there were many varieties of aloe and didn't know which variety mine was - I really wanted the medicinal one. Yesterday I decided to buy another one that I could keep potted in a grow bag so it wouldn't stay too wet. Your info has given me so much so that I could buy the right plant, raise it correctly, and enjoy it the way my Mom's use to grow outside with no help what-so-ever. Thanks!

[@86753091974]

my potted aloe was so bad i almost threw it away. it got plent of light in the window and i did not over or underwater it. i sat the pot in a about 1" of water in a bucket and let it sit there for about 2-3 hours. i took it out and put it back into the window. i had signs of this helping after just a few days and it got much better in about 1-2 weeks. i then fed it some plant food and the growth took off and it looks amazingly healthy. i am now watering it from the bottom. i did this with a hanging petunia basket and made all the difference as well. i think there are spots in the soil that dont accept water but are forced to when sitting in a bath and allowed to wick up from the bottom.

I am in plant zone 1 and it is extremly dry and very hard to balance in the winter.

[@zeninme7980]

I'm in Zone 8b which is good for growing aloe vera outside. Have to be careful though because the sun and temps in the summer will fry them. Do make sure if you have them outside that they do have a tree nearby that can help to filter out the full sun. I have lost many plants that say they like full sun. But the full sun is just too much here for plants and for people. Lol.....but seriously..

[@nadineburford4977]

I have had the same problem! None of my succulents or cacti like "full sun", they just die so I have to move them inside. Also, what are these zones? 🙂

[@zeninme7980]

@@nadineburford4977 Oh sorry just saw this. Those are your planting zones which helps you to determine what grows best for your region. Just ask google what your zone is for your City/State. Then you can research what plants would thrive in your region. However most nursery's in your city will carry plants that are for your zone, but there are tons they don't carry as well. It's kinda fun to check out!! :)

So I just bought my first little aloe plants (2), and I am hoping to grow them into nice large plants to use for skin care purposes. The only thing is that I have no idea what I’m doing. I don’t know when I can cut the *leaves*- correct word? off without hurting the plant, as well as how often I can do this on one plant. These videos I’m finding are wonderful sources of info, but I don’t exactly have a green thumb, so I’m really concerned that I am going to kill them because I am just very unfamiliar with plant care. I am definitely learning a lot from your videos, though! Keep making more about Aloe plants!

Don't be scared if your plant core goes black. Cut the black out, remove the soft roots and put into dry soil and a fresh pot. Mine came back within 2 weeks. This was an indoor houseplant in my house in Ireland.

Thank you for this fantastic video! ☀️ Very informative. I’m just developing love for plants. And today I’m on the rescue mission to save my overwatered aloe vera… The roots had only begun to rot. I cut them clean and potted the plant into a dry soil. I haven’t however left the plant to heal out of the soil before potting. Could you tell me if it’s a necessary step? I’m planning to check on the roots (hopefully) in 5 days and not to water the plant before I do it. Is it a good plan, do you think? 🤔 :) Geography - wise… The aloe and I are in Poland. ;) 🙃 It’s end of very warm winter here. The aloe sits on eastern window sill.
