Aloe Vera Care Guide! 🌿🌵// Garden Answer

[@gardenanswer]

Just a quick FYI- there is a part of the aloe that can be extracted and is edible, but the whole plant isn’t safe. I wanted to mention that because many people have their aloes in the house and it’s a good idea to keep it out of reach of kids and pets. 😊

[@jacksonlee619]

Garden Answer A lot of houseplants are toxic to pets. I usually check the ASPCA website to know if I need to keep them away from pets.

[@jacksonlee619]

Coleus and sansaveria are some of the popular ones

[@LowEnd57]

I received my Aloe plants from an instructor whom I assisted when my Mom died. He insisted because his big aloe had so many pups. I reluctantly took it because I was grieving and didn't have luck with succulents. My plant has grown...I read that having an aloe around helps with anxiety, sickness, depression, etc. I will be forever grateful for his plant gift! He knew I needed that plant and it's healing properties.

[@katediy4563]

KAREN PARRA You probably killed them with kindness. I just wrote on someone else's comment I did NOTHING with an aloe vera plant a friend gave me last year. No water, no light exposure (it was sitting forgotten on the floor of a bright room). I just put it outdoors this week so maybe it'll get better care.

[@sunshinejenny777]

Really. Direct to the point is great! Our time is scarce these days.

[@lalohuante6454]

one tip to lessen the bad smell: Cut your piece of length wise down the middle after cutting off your plant. Position the piece on a couple of napkins so that the piece is slightly tilted downward. After a few hours (2-4) A greenish - yellowish liquid will drip off of the cutting and seep into the napkin. That is the liquid that gives off the bad odor. Discard the napkin and enjoy your odorless aloe piece.

[@effiejefferson5379]

Wow, never heard of this. Thanks

[@TheDkdazo]

Yes, that yellow is the plants latex can give some people bad reactions

[@Ann-ig3yi]

I grew up having an Aloe in my apartment, after 6 years it had it's first pup, a pup I claimed as mine. Now, 12 years later, that pup has given me over 16 pups. Yes. 16. I will be taking one to my college dormitory to continue taking care of Aloe. Thank you for your time!

I bought an aloe Vera 5 years ago and had it in my room for about a year. I then moved to a different room in the house and didn’t bring my aloe to my new room. I completely forgot about it for 3 years before I took it back. It wasn’t watered in 3 YEARS and it was sitting in front of a south facing window and it survived! I just repotted it and it’s doing Great now :)

[@lieke8341]

When I just bought my Aloe Vera I noticed it wasn't doing well. I repotted it in a pot with a drainage hole. I noticed the roots were rotting because there were almost none left and they smelled really bad. I also started to water him the proper way, and after a few weeks, I noticed some roots coming out of the holes on the downside of the pot. I was very proud of myself! A little tool I like to use to check if I have to water again is to put a small wooden stick, like a skewer, in the soil the day after watering it, so it won't rot because of too wet soil. When I think it's time to water again I just take the wooden skewer out of the soil and feel if it's dry or not. When it's still moist, just put it back in there and check again after a day or two. If you take it out and it's dry, it's time to water again.

[@lisacurtis8162]

I use LED lights. Also regular lights still offer plants something to use for photosynthesis. I let them have at least 10 hours of light a day next to a west facing window ( but the light is filtered by alot of trees). I let them dry out completely in between waterings but when I water them it's like monsoon season. My aloes look happy. If I wait too long to water they get brown tips on thier fronds and I know to water them right away.

[@michellenunez7327]

I got an aloe Vera plant for my hair it leaves your hair extremely soft and thick and it’s amazing for split ends! Perfect way to use it is too get the gel mix it in the blender with virgin olive oil or coconut oil and leave that in your hair and cover with a cap for hours and results will be amazing!

[@denika369]

What type of aloe do you use for hair and how old does the plant need to be in order to have a good amount of gel? Thanks!

[@Mr25thfret]

great tip Michelle!

[@TheNaturalRach73]

Use the type that is in the video. Any size, but the medium to large aloe leaves are easier to get the gel out of. If medium leaf I usually use 2. If a large then I get 2-3 uses from it. I mix with a lil aloe juice too to get the consistency I want to apply to my hair😊

My experience eating the Aloe (sans skin) has been problem free. I live in the Caribbean and we were all brought up with the knowledge of the benefits of this super plant. As a child into my teenage years, it was perfect to ingest (whole, preferably because it has a bitter taste), as well as for topical applications to treat acne, dryness, facial treatments, around eye treatment and leave in hair care and detangler. Our naturally grown aloes plant has not harmed me, my parents, grandparents and so on. But this is the first time I'm hearing about a toxicity warning though. But thanks for sharing the vid.

We use Aloe vera blended with water, and have no issues either.

I am of Carribbean heritage also. This plant has been used for generations in my family. The benefits of which fore have been life-changing. I have been using it orally and topically for over 15 years. The only irritant may come from the yellow just beneath the skin. This can be cut away or drained away. I would not be without it. After watching this I have been encouraged to pot the two I have in my home. Wish me luck.🥰🙏🏿

My experience? I had one, that I basically forgot about for well over 5 years. It looked like a pile of dried grass. But as I was about to toss it, I saw two teeny bits with a very slight hint of green, so I put each of them into a succulent arrangement, just to see what would happen. They are now two good-sized plants (less than a year later) and one is producing a pup!

We do consume aloe here in Malaysia and in most Southeast Asia country. We usually skinned the harvested leaves and wash off any green gel on the surface which appear to be toxic. It is actually safe to consume with a proper prep and we enjoy it as desserts here. Something more natural to replace jello. And is very refreshing and cooling especially where the climate we live here is like a never ending summer. Great tips by the way. I enjoy all your content and hope to learn more from you. Best wishes from Malaysia.😊😊

[@gardenanswer]

I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew the whole plant isn’t safe just in case it is around kids or pets...and honestly me. I don’t know the first thing about skinning an aloe. Haha! They stink too bad for me to be tempted to eat! Do they taste okay? Now I’m kind of interested... 😆

[@jason.d.hermit]

Garden Answer is actually the skin and the gel that makes it stink. Is hard for me to prep it at 1st as well 😅. It had a very mild sweet taste to almost no taste at all. I usually cook it with some dried red dates and some rock sugar. It makes a very nice Chinese dessert serve hot or cold. It was a recipe I learned from my mom as she told me it was good for the skin complexion 😆

It’s just the Alion that can give u upset stomachs . It has -20 amino acids that aid in building muscle tissue -7 key enzymes that assist in breaking down food and boost nutrient absorption -Minerals such as calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc -and Vitamins A, C, D, E, B, B-1, B-2, B12, and folic acid.

Good timing, I was just going to repot my aloe Vera. I recently updated my first aid and learned that it is better to cool a burn first with running water before using aloe because the burn will feel better on the top layer of skin but continue to burn because the heat is locked in. 😃

[@marcusgreene1356]

Criminal

[@gglydie4242]

Deb Poirer - yes I agree with you, cool running water is the best treatment for a burn as soon as it has happened because that transfers the heat away from the skin. I think the Aloe Vera would be good for later, when the burned skin is healing, and to ease any scarring. Same concept for cuts, they should be cleaned and have pressure applied to stop the bleeding as a first step, and then once that is all sorted, Aloe Vera can help the skin healing process.

[@lexititus2323]

Diaper rash!! My little girl has eczema and inherited my sensitive skin, so I am VERY limited on what products I can put on her little body, diaper rash cream being one of the tricky ones. When she’s got a really gnarly diaper rash and was in a lot of pain, a little touch of aloe gel helped her through it. It was mostly to help her not be in as much pain, but it did actually cut down on the swelling and the spread of the rash until I found something that worked in getting rid of the rash!

Lexi Titus Believe it or not, skin problems stem from a gut problem. It's also where more than 70% of our immunity is formed. Heal the gut, heal skin eruptions. Think of it, our digestive tract (from mouth to anus) is internal skin. We're really a giant donut. 🍩 The condition of your baby's lips will tell you how her insides are fairing. Dried and cracked indicate leaky gut. (I am a health coach specializing in digestive health.) 🤓

Try using some organic coconut oil, it's great for the skin.

Holy cow! You're a wizzard! I've killed every single one I've ever had! I gave it a few years, and I'm determinded to succeed this time! Happy planting!

[@ladyofthewildforest9902]

The gel can be used internallly :) some health food stores sell whole aloe leaves for using in recipes , I've been doing it for years.

[@fruitbandit8369]

I know, right? That was actually the whole point of me buying an aloe plant. I’ve been putting aloe gel in my smoothies for years, too! 💁🏻‍♀️ I’m still alive and healthy btw. 🙂

[@LienNgo]

@@fruitbandit8369 right? I was freaking out when she said this plant is toxic because my family has been eating aloe vera for years and i just happened to buy 2 plants and planted it in our front yard. I was like did i bought the wrong type of aloe vera? What am i gonna do with them?

[@blee4974]

Fantastic video…. I always have aloe plants in my home for years. Good for burns,scars like you said. But I use to rub on my teens zits and let them sleep over night and then wash there face and never had zits again. Good on boils or cyst to. Cut leaf and then take skin off one side and set on boil or cyst hold down with bandaids or whatever is good. Change twice a day until infection gone. Clean area good each time you put another piece with antibacterial soap,like Dial.

[@MadSkull04]

I am new to caring for aloe plants. But I am thankful to this advice. Thanks for the info.

[@toristephaniesilhouettefam8861]

How old is that large aloe plant..... I want mine looking like that! Wowow

[@sapphireblossom1982]

Mine took about 5 years with no fertiliser to get to that stage. I live in Ireland, which doesn't get a lot of sun, so your could take a lot less time!

[@ednawilliams5172]

What type of aleo is tht big one

[@gachamoongods3081]

Wow me to

[@suetinz]

Sapphire Blossom do you keep your aloe inside or outside? I’m also in Ireland and my aloe is drooping, which I think is because it’s not getting enough sunshine!!

[@gachamoongods3081]

Susan I keep my inside by a window and water it when the soil is dry am going to repotting my soon with the right soil it needs and a bigger pot oh and I live in texas

[@noragarcia252]

I had so many aloe plants outside that I gave some away but we use aloe for sunburns and face small amount. They seem to grow well I don't have to water often they are beautiful plants

[@cynthiagaray6687]

I've heard that aloe vera plants help purify the air too.

[@dylxnchn]

*yeah*

[@baijayantimalapatra]

Yes they are best airpurifier plants.

[@aida087]

Yes, I've read that they're especially good for having in your bedroom. Somehow they help you sleep better.

[@deniseleonard4525]

Yes very good to have indoors and in the bedroom. The other great plants for cleansing the air from EMFs is Mother inlaws tongue, succulents, cacti, betel leaf plants and a few others - apparently the Mother inlaw actually produces oxygen at night also so makes for good sleeping. I have that in my room with my aloe

[@coffeebean4356]

In Jamaica, you could find these almost everywhere lol. My grandma told me stories how you could just walk into your neighbor's yard, and then proceed to cut a leaf!

[@pamschonfarber1041]

Thank you for this video, I was watering my Aloe too often, but I didn't know that was the cause for it not looking so good.

[@elainechambers8913]

I just bought an aloe vera plant yesterday and used it on my dermatitis rash on the side of my nose it worked amazingly well the first time I used it, it made it completely go away wow I’m impressed I’ll see what happens hopefully it will keep working😃

[@higherkhaos1431]

My grandma had several aloe plants and would harvest the leaves and kind of "dissect" the exterior plant part of the leaves any time I got a sunburn. Been tempted to grow my own since she passed and this just shows me they are not only useful, but fun to grow.

[@ieshafisher4809]

This was a great video. This is my first Aloe plant so I’m super excited. I live in Michigan So we don’t always get a lot of sun. I have been putting my plant outside during the day and bring it in in the evening. You answered most of my questions about repotting and watering. My biggest concern will be light I have subscribed so I will not hesitate to reach out when I have more questions and concerns

[@Redberryfarm888]

Hey - I am in Michigan, too... have my Aloes facing East on a baker's rack in front of my kitchen window (a foot away from the glass). I never move them, and just repotted a few babies. Mine are kinda floppy... and now I know why. : ) Best wishes with your Aloe!

[@becasnowflake2229]

I used it for a bad burn. I don’t even have a scar now and the pain was less

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

Great video as always and really helpful advice! :) We have a few aloe plants and I find them great for medicinal purposes. I extract aloe and use it to make a hand soothing gel. I'm a nurse and sometimes my hands tend to get sensitive as I'm always using anti-bacterial hand wash in work. So when I get home I find aloe gel so gentle on my skin, in my opinion, it's one of the best home remedies 🌿

[@PlannerWithAPraise]

thx for sharing. when should i repot an aloe into a larger pot?

You should look into getting some aloe maculata, they have coral flowers and still maintain the healing properties of normal aloes atleast according to the website I used really pretty foliage too
