[@kamilahbeaty1213]

THANK YOU this is the only video i was able to find which relates to my overly crowded aloe plant. So far ive counted about 11 that are visible, i know theres more hidden below and some pups as well. I have two aloe plants, the first one (which was much smaller and less intimidating for me to start off with) i separated & repotted before summer. Idk why ive waited this long to start with the 2nd it was already big and full then, but now its massive. But my question is how to grow THICKER LEAVES on my plant. I thought it being too crowded caused it to produce thinner leaves. And see, the plant you fixed here was much bigger & fuller than mine, yet the leaves were still thick, so i guess crowding isn't the reason (or at least the only reason) for thin leaves. Other than that my plant is pretty much healthy. I keep it partially shaded so its not in full sunlight, leaves are a healthy green, and i try to stay on top of clipping off any brown tips and dead leaves that are an eye sore. And since it's a desert plant, i stopped watering it too often over a year ago. Before was once a week, but now i kinda stopped keeping track of that since i cut down on watering it. I dont fertilize or give any plant food though. Not with any of my plants, only water. The info/tutorials/hacks/tips say so many different things and i find it overwhelming and confusing i dont wanna kill them trying to help them grow. So just water, sun, observation and love is the care i give.

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

kamilah beaty it sounds like you are doing great job! I think ticket leaves are result of a lot of sunlight. These aloes were in conservatory full if sunlight.

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

You should take one of the aloes from the massive plant and try to place it in full sun it will turn brown but it will recover in about two weeks so you can see if that works I have a lot of aloe and are all thick leafs they are in full sun

[@vinsoriano493]

I bought an aloe in the spring that's the size of just one of those. how often should I water it when I bring it inside for the winter? I'm also worried about it getting enough light, should I get a grow lamp?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

Vin Soriano they can live almost without any water. I water aloe less than any other succulent, especially through the winter I give it a little water every 3 to 4 weeks just because it’s really dry and warm in my house. I don’t keep aloes under lights, but by the window. It’s actually not getting a lot of light because it’s north east facing window. I think it will probably be fine as long as you have some source of light. Aloes are ok with not having full sun or a lot of hours on the sun.

[@alvrajenkins5074]

These are beautiful. I just started this year but some are breaking apart by the leaf. I am using cactus potting soil and sand but the just aren’t doing well. Can I put in greenhouse to see if it works better? Any suggestions please?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

Alvra Jenkins you can try but they really like to be neglected and not watered often. Maybe watering less but providing little more light

[@cjjenkins507]

I hope your back is okay! What size did this one(s?) start out as ?

[@bonniek6039]

Your aloes are gorgeous. It wasn't clear. When you pot the aloes that don't have roots (the outer ones you have cut out of the pot), do you put them directly in the soil or do you use a root propagating substance on them? Thank you!

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

Bonnie K you can use root hormone. In this case I left they to dry and some put directly in dry soil

[@Sketchy999]

Ow wow... How did they grown so big in that pot. ,What u used? Did they in sun light?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

They grew in a botanical garden

[@joannarose7]

Where do you live? What is the climate that allows your aloes to be so happy outside?

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

They are not outside. It’s inside of the botanical garden where I volunteer.

[@TinaThevarge]

OMG, mines just like one of your trimmed ones and I thought it was getting too big.

[@thegiftlady1]

You didn't show us the most important thing - how you planted them. Did you use rooting hormone, add water / how much, etc. :-(

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

thegiftlady1 you are right! Because I left them to Valois or dry up where I cut. I didn’t use rooting hormone or water just place them in soil about 1 to 2 inch deep and after about two weeks started occasionally sprinkling water to stimulate rooting and they all rooted!

[@JnTmarie]

When you cut the aloe heads off are you able to place them in soil right away and they will root or do you need rooting powder to start the rooting process?

For me as guest from germany, what does "propagate" mean in the sense of treating those aloes without roots? Do you force them to grow roots? Or can i just put the base of the fresh cut stem onto soil? Thanks ;)

[@succulentlivingbymarija8872]

Stephke Ra good question! 😊 we are so used to that word that we don’t think to explain it. It can mean rooting, multiplying, reproducing plant from a leaf or stem. Sorry for a late replay so busy last few weeks.

I would leave stem to callous which means dry up where you cut and then place it in dry soil. I water once a week very little to stimulate root growth
