How To Plant Giant Aloe Vera in Containers

If you live in an urban community and you're into gardening, soil and space availability is always a challenge. In this video, I show how I manage my soil and space when planting Aloe vera. The plant don't need much soil to grow. I plant small pups into small containers with just enough soil to grow. I just add the soil and change the container as they grow bigger. It is also the reason why I use soft plastic pots because I can repot the plant easily.

I love this 🌷 So I want to replant one of the Aloe Vera I have in my balcony, do you mean I should put a hold under my bucket ??

[@skim32]

Where can I get those type of pots or what are they called so I can look for them? Also do I need a specific variety of Aloe Very to grow them this big? I saw some at home depot that come in 3.5" grower pots which are rather small. Will they grow to be like yours? Also is it bad to go directly to a large pot?

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

Thank you very much Seniora.

[@donavintrip713]

Thank you for being honest on the second repot when you said in a few months rather than in a couple weeks or a month. I’ve been growing aloe Vera for a couple of years and I love when people say it a fast growing plant. Yeah for a tree it might be fast but for something like tomatoes where you can have a 6 foot plant in 3 months it’s nots so fast. Do you know of a way to make an aloe Vera hand sanitizer. If so we need that like we need the ☀️

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

Thank you very much. Aloe vera grows slow, it takes about 2 to 3 years to reach its average full size. To make a hand sanitizer, you need a 97% to 99% grade alcohol, not the low grade 40% or 70% alcohol mostly available in stores. Dilute the alcohol with aloe vera gel and then thicken it. I'd probably make a video on this.

[@Voiyce659]

Hi, thanks for your channel! I'm new to planting Aloes and I've been looking for info on how to grow them. I live in a cold wet climate so I wanna grow my aloe veras indoors. Can I follow this same process? Do I still need to water them a lot of they are indoors? Thanks

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

You don't need to water the plant frequently indoor because the soil don't dry fast unlike outdoor. Also, don't place your plant in a dark place in the house. Porch and terrace are better options if you can't place it outdoor. As much as possible, give it sunlight. Aloe vera plant needs sunlight.

[@adriandelapena9563]

very nice! what if you just straight away planted the small ones in the biggest pot and let it grow? would it still be as big as the ones repotted for 5 times?

[@ujmabano6024]

Good question . If the aloe vera is directly poted in the biggest pot, then aloe vera plant will will not be able to all the nutrients into the soil, and the nutrients will be drained out to with rain and water . That's why we should put the aloe vera plant in an adequate size of pot so that the nutrients should not be wasted without utilisation.

Brother your aloe garden is stunning😍, i also have some of them. But i can not grow them properly😔. Can you please tell me the soil making that you used and specially those soft plastic pots🤒, size (height & width), each of them in the time of reporting. Mine are at the stage of third reporting....

[@cs7717]

A few more questions please. Why do you repot so many times instead of jumping a size or two each time and saving your labor and time? How do you get yours to grow so many pups? In the last year, my two plants have grown a total of one pup between them. I am in the Sonoran Desert where tomorrow we are supposed to hit 122°F, 3% humidity. They are each medium-sized in about a 1.5 gal plastic pot, well draining. They get morning sun, top of the day shade, and late afternoon sun again. They are growing fine since I got them, but just not making babies. What would you suggest I do, change, or improve to make them grow pups? Thank you so much for your help!

New subscriber here.. great video on the early stages. Im new to Aloe Veras, have about ten pups from my mothers Aloe Vera. How do u keep urs so green and thick. Mine are kind of thin and faded green. Its been about two weeks since I pulled from the mother. Im in southern cali so it's pretty hot right now, any tips?

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

Awesome! Thank you! It's also very hot where I live. Don't worry about your Aloe Vera, It is a very resilient plant. It's normal for the leaves to get thin if they are newly planted. Give them time to recover, maybe a little more than a month, they will bounce back to having green and thick leaves.

I just use ordinary soil for my Aloe Vera and if I have available special soil, that would be from compost. Here's a video on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKe6gHmAqc6ho9k Those black soft plastic nursery pots are bought from garden stores. Are you from the Philippines? They are available in ACE Hardware in SM stores, CITI Hardware garden section. They are also available in stores selling plastic pots. They are cheap and very affordable. Depending on the size from 3 pesos to 45 pesos. I just noticed though during this pandemic that the prices are up drastically and the quality is not the same anymore - so bad.

[@preetambanerjee1642]

If i start with a big container. Any problem ?

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

I started with a small container because I need to save space and soil. Using big container for a small Aloe vera pup is a waste of resources for me specially the soil. The soil nutrients will not be consumed by the plant but will be drained away by water the during rain and when you water the plant. Also, the plant grow taller in time and you will have a leggy Aloe vera if you don't repot it. Repotting from a bigger pot is quite a challenge without disturbing the roots of the plant. As show in the video, it is very much easier to repot with smaller pots. But if it is convenient for you to start with a bigger pot, then you can. Happy planting. :)

[@SmSm-tc7vy]

Can we just plant in a big potted? We no need repotting 5th times. Or you have any experience to share me. Thanks

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

Yes, you can plant them directly on bigger pot. I don't have much space and soil so I gradually plant them in smaller to bigger pot. Also, planting aloe vera in bigger pot is also a waste of soil nutrients because it will just be flushed out by water.
