Thank you!!

[@barryauguste9734]

Welcome back Andrea......we missed you!

[@birdnird]

We have a feral colony of this Aloe on our semi-rural property in far south Austin that survived the Texas Icepocalypse. Hundreds of little aloes and a handful of bigger ones. It is a tough species

[@debbielummus4637]

Yay! You are certainly the Aloe Whisperer!!! Amazing growth. You are such an inspiration in how you care for your plants. Thank you so much for your videos!💚🪴

[@SucsForYou]

Wow, thank you!

[@jennifermanners4014]

You're my favourite succulent cactus person, honestly my favourite. Your plant baby looks so healthy now.

[@SucsForYou]

Aw Jennifer! That's so sweet!! Thank you 🥰💜

[@mariajenny]

Succulents are very resilient. However I understand the shock from the Texas freeze. I just moved all my aloes into the garage when we got the first frost this past weekend. Works if in pots but have a few that are in the ground. Cover and protect.

[@P00py8UTT]

What an amazing plant!!! She’s beautiful, spectacular, fantastic. You’re awesome ❤

[@SucsForYou]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

I love it when plants make a come back. You never know whats possible until you try😉 Nature will surprise you everytime🌱

[@SucsForYou]

So true!

[@pimpozza]

Loved this video! So thrilled to see your very special aloe pulled through, Andrea! People may think, _"Oh they're only plants!"_ but they are precious, living beings and it is heartbreaking when we lose any of them.. especially the ones that are so sentimental to us! Thank you for this lovely upload 💕🌵

[@pimpozza]

PS) Even after our crazy, baking hot dry summer here in Italy, my lithops are just coming into flower.. in mid November. I didn't think they would do so this year but (thanks to YOU) I am understanding their needs more now.. 🤗

[@SucsForYou]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@SucsForYou]

I have one pushing out a flower too! And it's still quite warm here :)

[@oiavh]

Glad to see it recover so well

[@TheSucculentHome]

Big like! Thanks for sharing your journey on saving your aloe! She made a big come back in just 9 months! Your positive out look inspired me. 🙏🏽💞

[@SucsForYou]

Thank you so much!

[@amyw2721]

I'm so happy that it's recovered! Yay😊😊😊

[@SucsForYou]

Thank you! Me too! Whew!!

[@nobrainsnoheadache2434]

I think it reflects the skills of the owner as much as the vitality of nature :)

[@benhagan.bennytheredneck6841]

I'm growing aloe in water and they are growing really good

[@msofiaramos8246]

How exciting how much it as grown! I'm really glad it's recovered, it was nice to see an update hope you 're having a great week too 😘

[@SucsForYou]

Thank you! I really didn't realize how much it has grown until making this video!

[@ByMommyofThreeboys]

Thank you for the sharing .This is so amazing plants. so beautiful.

[@SucsForYou]

Thank you!

[@snoywntr2]

Im glad it recovered so well for you! It’s bigger than mine still in spite if the damage. It must be that super strong root system it has

[@SucsForYou]

Thanks chica! Most of the roots dried/died! I'm honestly in awe of the recovery lol!

[@snoywntr2]

@@SucsForYou I guess it’s the caretaker then. Or the good vibes because it was so important to you!

[@SucsForYou]

I think the good vibes from everyone really helped! 💜

[@mrdavis3804]

I too enjoy mind expanding plants!

[@SucsForYou]

😅😅

[@emelynnguyen932]

it froze where i live and i lost quite a bit of succulents & hoyas :( your babies are healing beautifully

[@SucsForYou]

I'm sorry! Yes, I got lucky with this one and we're about to have another freeze so it's wrapped up in a thick sheet :)

[@barryauguste9734]

Hey Andrea, you must be real busy now - replanting, propagating, repotting....straightening out your stock, planning what you split, combine, readjust - I know I am. How about letting us see what's going on in the lone star state now its winter....?

[@SucsForYou]

Not much of a winter here yet! We'll be back up to 80F/26C this week lol!

[@WorldwideOpenEyes]

Hello, I'm rooting for you to make a video from Thailand.😍😍

[@Growgreen445]

Nice sharing 🎉 subscribed to your channel 🎉🎉

[@SucsForYou]

Woo! Thank you!!

[@barryauguste9734]

Andrea....I just tried to join your fb page. So busy the last 2 months - beheading, pruning, replanting, repotting, propagating, creating those succs rockereies. But I have a super -important question ....when beheading, put them in soil and keep dry, or let them air root over an empty container....? I wish you you were on-air.....!

[@SucsForYou]

I like to start w/ an empty container then move to soil after a couple weeks

[@barryauguste9734]

@@SucsForYou thank you so much.....

[@FamilyGuy-i3v]

I found a Soap Aloe dead at a local plant sale for $7. I bought it to try to bring it back to life. It was limp and brown, starting to turn black in sections. The pot was dripping water and the soil was completely saturated. The "Master gardener" said it was dying from being underwatered lol. I took it home, repotted it in some sandy soil and didn't water it for about two maybe even three months. The plant made a full recovery and is now enormous and thriving. I thought it was a Candelabra (Krantz) Aloe for months before it started to resemble the Maculata Aloe that it actually is.

[@SucsForYou]

Great rescue story! I hope it flowers for you soon - this old gal has flowered several times since the freeze, such a treat!

[@barryauguste9734]

Andrea - just came across Tylecodon buchholzianus....the most amazing succulant I've ever seen!! Do you have one? Where's the best place to order from?

[@SucsForYou]

I've never had a Tylecodon - you can try a reputable seller on eBay :)

[@barryauguste9734]

@@SucsForYou Tylecodon Paniculatus Butter Tree.....unbelievable - I can't believe I'm 63 and never come across one - please,please feature it. 😍

[@maevandorpe6617]

Can my aloe tip grow back? A family member clipped them off.

[@SucsForYou]

Sorry no - the tips won't regrow

[@regaling]

Love the shirt (and video). Where'd you get it? Also thinking about getting into Lithops. I'm in the Dallas area. Do you have suggestions on where to get them around here? Are they common enough?

[@SucsForYou]

Sorry for the late reply! The shirt is from Target and the names aren't all correct lol! You can find Lithops at local nurseries/big box stores - but maybe not year-round.

[@regaling]

@@SucsForYou yeah, our box stores in the are and nurseries still don’t have them. I ended up buying a ton from Etsy. Thanks for the reply 👍🏼✌🏼

[@SucsForYou]

@@regaling Fun!!

[@regaling]

@@SucsForYou I do have a Split Rock right now that the leaves have not cracked yet but the old leaves are still attached. They look like they are dying (the old leaves) but they are not shrinking. I'm wondering if it is ok to just pluck them off since the new leaves have not cracked open yet. What do you think?

[@SucsForYou]

@@regaling The old leaves are feeding the new ones - don't water and let nature do its ting ;)
