Transplanting an Aloe Vera plant. Help!
Comments (50)Wow...a lot of information I didn't know about Aloe Vera. The reason I stumbled across this forum is that I have a very big Aloe Vera (Big Bertha) she is healthy. She seems to be growing up the way at a very fast rate, with new growth always showing in the middle and she produces a lot of pups. The height is causing her to be top heavy and I was wondering if I should cut some of the bottom leaves off and pot her further down into the cactus soil. Another problem I have is that I have one window which faces South and where I put all my Aloe Veras during the Winter. Unfortunately during the Spring it is too cold to put them outside and the Sun can be very strong and sunburn the plants. I have no where else to put them or would covering them with the fleece you would use in a garden help?...See MoreAloe Vera - How to divide pups from mother plant?
Comments (33)http://faq.gardenweb.com/discussions/2765911/how-do-i-care-for-my-aloe-vera-plant "Many aloes produce 'pups'. When the pup is fully formed, detach it from the mother plant, let it callus over for a few days in a cool, dry area, and pot it up. If it has roots, pot as you would a regular aloe, allowing for the fact that it is smaller and should be in a suitably sized pot for its size. If it has no roots, let it callus over, place the cut/broken end ON the soil, and support it with top dressing. DO NOT WATER IT-it has no roots, so watering the soil will likely cause rot. Instead, mist it every few days. Roots should start forming within a month. When growth is evident, it can be watered."...See MoreAloe Vera Blooms I.D. Needed
Comments (19)Well I'll say Aloe Camperonii seemed to be the favored one. Cactusmchsrris, looks like you were right , right from the start. Denise, Miss goddess. I think you just scored a new name, fitting too, looks like you also get to advance to the next level of jeopardy for plant species, good job! Wantonmara, thank you for joining us and you came in full of confidence knowing almost instantly that it had many similaraties to your own Aloe cameronii and you were right. The leaves are thick on this species and very firm, I wasnt sure at first if it was A. Cameronii because some of the other names also looked close. Again I use E.B. Stone cacti and succulent mix and miracle grow here and there, Rosemariero6, you were leaning the right way from the beginning, and you were right and the stems do branch out and have multiple blooms on them. Thanks for joining us on this round of identifying Aloes with blooms . Josh, I can't leave you out brother you showed up and admitted from the gate, Hey I have no idea what it is but said, it sure is some eye candies, thanks just for showing up to comment as you say, the more the merier. See you on the Sanseveria plant section and remember "NO WATERING UNTIL WE SEE GROWTH". Should there be any questions on any other possible I.D's for this Aloe please do post it. And Good night yall, omg It's midnight here and I've got to get to sleep, this is an addiction, at least its a good one. Greg...See MoreAloe vera Please Help!
Comments (8)You are impatient. (who isn't) Your first post was just 2 weeks ago. Give the plant time to grow some roots. There is plenty of water stored in the leaves. It will be fine. While you have the plant out of the soil, why not do some better amending. You should have at least 50/50 mix of perlite and cactus soil. It will be very gritty or chunky looking. The dirt will stain the stem that you are trying to root. If that dark area is not soft there is nothing to worry about. That pot may be too large for trying to root the plant. More dirt will logically hold more moisture. (good for you not watering yet!) And bring the plant up higher. See that white rim of mineral deposits on the rim of the pot? That's about how high the potting mix should be. At least bring it up to where the pot rim starts to flare out. This will allow light to reach all of the plant and better air flow. In the end, it takes patience....See MoreEla Cherry
