I am so glad I found you! A while ago I had an aloe I thought had completely died but put it in the front yard just in case. Sure enough without me there messing with it and watering it all the time, it took off and produced this huge clump of leaves. But I just repotted it today and realized how dark and muted the color was and was worried I totally killed it with too much sun. I am glad to see this guy can make a recovery!
I just bought an aloe vera plant because I love the game viridi! I thought if I could take care of and love this plant in a phone game I should try it irl. But I had no idea gardening was so much fun yet confusing about care! Soils, food, watering, potting? Thanks to you it all seems more clear. And you are so sweet I wish you were my mom, new subscriber for you!
I just got an aloe plant today (it's been on my wish list for around a year) and I appreciate this video on giving me information on how to keep my new baby plant happy.
Thank you for the advise. I have a baby Aloe plant and just repotted her because he was ready to go to another pot so I wanted to look more into detail on their care than I originally did in the beginning.
Your aloe looks amazing. I do have mine on my windowsill right now. They are not very big but if they were as big as yours I wouldn’t be able to fit on my window sill. It is warm outside but not hot and the sun is not overbearing right now. I am going to bring them in, in a few hours, when it cools down.
I definitely recommend putting aloe vera in a self-watering container. My mom's aloe vera did awesome in it since it only took up the water it needed--no worries about over or under watering. It badly needed transplanting this year but we didn't have a bigger pot, so I planted it outside and got a bunch of pups in the process. Unfortunately, I accidentally burned a couple in the window. I'm not sure what I should do... Cut off the burned leaves, I guess?
Great info! I've always used aloe externally, I just recently started adding the gel to my carrot juice. I have lots, and never did much more than water it. Now I'm adding my worm castings to it. I'm hoping this will make them all larger. I have 3 different varieties, different shades of green and sizes. Thank-You! Great to meet you!
Hi, Nell! I just bought a good sized aloe Vera plant from a local nursery! I plan to use the gel regularly for my hair. Do you know when I should start watering it? I didn't think to ask when it was last watered! I placed it on my front porch. It's got an overhang so hopefully it won't get too much sun!
I mist mine everyday but that’s just because every time I come home the pots are all dried out. They are all located on a balcony facing the east south east and live in Dallas so it gets hot down here Anyways they’re doing great too. Always make sure people to straighten out/untangle the roots before transplanting too!! Great video. Thank you
wow thank you so much! my boyfriend gave me a aloe vera plant for valentines day haha but we didnt know how to take care of it. we've been over watering it!
I grew up with these plants. Never paid much attention to them though. I just bought my first plant yesterday, and yes! The first thing I did was water it!!! Tank you for the education! Hopefully Ill do it right!! :)
Thanks for sharing this information on aloe it can be tough to find right way to take care of it. I love watching you and always enjoy all of your plants, you always have good information!
Thanks for this post! Aloe is something I value for so many remedies. I could never understand why I could not keep my aloes very healthy. I learned from you I am watering too often. I’ve been watering every week : O Yikes! Thanks for giving me a heads up! I so appreciate your help! Love your patio and your Aloe is divine! Jalyne in Utah
I have a few I tried to just throw on the ground and it did not die. It is in full sun in the summer, and out all winter. Literally in a shopping bag, but it make a hole in the bottom. Now I am going to care for it and properly plant it.
I live in Delaware. My aloe loves the full sun during the summer. . I guess the region must have something to do with it. But I had no idea that they can bloom. Great to know.
I just inherited an aloe from a dear friend who passed. It looks crowded and maybe sun scorched? I can't bare the thought of losing this plant, but it needs some tlc. I subscribed to your channel and saved this video. Thanks in advance!
I have initially 2 plants of aloe vera but after I got my hand splash by a hot water, in which i apply the aloe and it ease the pain of the burn. I immediately make more plant by getting the baby plant. Reminded me that aloe vera is important plant in a house. So many uses.
HI there Nell. I hope all is well with you! I bought my first Aloe Very yesterday and looking forward to when it gets bigger. I like how they're easy to care for just like the Sansaveria's I bought Miracle Succulent mix which I used when I had my Euphorbia. . And speaking of those I bought a Moonshine. I just love how beautiful it looks next to my other Sansaveria. Keep the videos coming because I always love watching them!
I LOVE Aloe plants, they are INCREDIBLE :-) and your big Aloe is a real BEAUTY :-) Thanks a million for sharing Nell and sending heaps of love and happiness and happy growing from right across the Emerald Isle for a WONDERFUL Thursday XXXXXX
A wonderful Thursday to you too Lyn! +Desert Plants of Avalon Aloe vera is not only attractive, but useful too. A real winner! Many hugs from California, Nell
Just bought me an Aloe plant today and I seen your video this evening - Thank You so so much because I thought this plant needed lots of sun and lots of water, YES ! - very informative UA-cam video and just wanted to send a shout out to ya... Two Thumbs up.
odd, mine was outside all summer in a pot with no holes. and was waterlogged 100% of the time. it has done amazing! I got mine from home depot in a small succulent pot like that baby one. now it's bigger than yours haha
Thanks so much for telling how long to wait between watering! I was drowning mine, and now I have HOPE! :) I just found your videos and really like them.
Hi thank you for all you information. I have a question when you repot a year old plant do you bury the plant to cover the bottom that has a stem because leaves were cut off? The stem is about 2 to 4 inches long or do I leave the stem above ground as it is now. This plant also has a baby plant coming up. Thanks because this was my mother's plant who passed away a year ago and obviously I don't want to hurt it.
Hi Debi - You want to leave the stems above the ground as they are now when you transplant your Aloe vera. Be sure to use a very loose draining mix like a succulent & cactus mix or a potting soil. Nell
My aloe are huge and over grown, my babies are the size of you plant… lol I want to know how to mix the soil for my aloe? Can you help with this topic? Thank you so much, thank you again for explaining the exposure because I was putting mine in full direct sunlight 😮
Hello I would really apreciate if you can answer the following question what is the best size pot for an aloe Vera Vera that will stay there for 5 years without problems as I have a couple of aloe Vera but I don't know which pot size to buy which size would you recommend me? Thank you!
My aloe is in a nursery pot on my brightly shaded back porch (east facing in central Florida). It is leaning in the pot and has pulled away from the *center* of the pot where the stem is. It leans against the edge of the pot. I thought it needed more soil for support, and that seemed to help for awhile. Weeks later, though, it's back to leaning. It doesn't seem to be potbound and is thriving otherwise. Any idea on how to get this beauty to not lean? Do I need to stake it? Repot? Suggestions and advice appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the help! I just got a very beautiful aloe plant in a very pretty ceramic like glass pot. I just set her in my window that is too lighted, so thanks for saving her life lol. She is very healthy looking but slightly lop sided, is that normal?
My aloe plant got burned by the sun. Most of the leaves look terrible near the crown but the ends are okay. Should I cut them off? The new growth looks better.
Wow thanks!! I didn’t know I been over watering my aloes. I actually found them dying at a place that I moved into and reported them they are looking so nice now and I been watering them cause am afraid they will be in need of water like when I found them. I have a question what to do to get thicker gel leaves??
Thanks so much for the advice. Two of my aloe leafs rot at the bottom where they connect to the rest of the plant. I haven't watered it at all since I got it two months ago, but I'm still afraid that I am slowly killing it. Do you have an idea why that might be? Thanks and you seem very lovely!
Thank you so much! I have 15 aloe plant. Live in Catskill mountains in NY. I actually put them all outside during the summer and they do really well. But when I bring them in September to June they withdraw and don't do well. Any ideas?
Hello! I've just bought three aloe Vera cuttings, already 8" tall. i just transplanted them into 8"clay pots. i was wondering if i should wait for the roots to settle into the soil for a couple of weeks before watering? and also i used miracle grow succulent and cactus mix mostly and just one handful of perlite because it was already in the mix. am i doing it right haha? i just wanted to know from you because i love your videos!!!
Hello! I have an Aloe. I found your video so informative so thank you. But I have a quick question, what does it mean if one of the leafs have a massive black dot on the bottom of it? And what do I do about that?
Yep, full desert sun outside is definitely bad for these guys. I'd better move two browning, droopy ones next to the taller, fatter, greener ones I noticed have been thriving under an awning. Thanks for the info, great video!
My aloe has a long stem where the leaves used to be, no pups. I'm afraid it's going to tip over. Bigger pot? Do I need to cut it down? Tie it to sticks?
how would you suggest rooting a tiny aloe pup?. a friend gave me one that's quite small only has about 4 leaves. its one root has gone away... thanks in advance!
I made a mistake and left mine out during a 2 day freeze. The leaves turned plump & brown and fell over. Although the base of the plant was predominantly green. Is it safe just to cut the brown portions off the leaves? It is now in my garage and receives light in the late mornings and early afternoons with 60 degree temp.
So how many times can you cut it or long will it take to grow back or grow more? I just got one today and want to grow it huge lol and don’t want to over cut it
Hi, I bought an aloe vera plant. now the tips are getting brown en the leaves ar very soft and kind of swirling. am i overwatering them or should i give them more water? thank you!!
Aloe vera is a cool plant! +Vincent Gee Yes, started this plant as a baby from a friend's plant. Mine grows outdoors year round & has really done well since I transplanted it & moved it out of direct sun. It'll be ready for a bigger pot soon! Nell
Mam I live in England and it’s cold weather here I put my aloe plant in kitchen there’s no sun but it’s quite bright and I’m confused about giving it water as u told once in a month but I heard I should put water every week kindly could u suggest me
i have around 20 aloe plants in my place and every year i tend to trance plant them and give some of the extra to family because i only have so much widow space and i dont have a second grow light to grow more
this has been a really wet summer gor us if i wanted to set it outside could i put rocks on top of the soil would that be enough to stop it from getting too wet
Hey can u answer this question, where i live, it reaches 40°C in summer and it's outdoor, so i water it after 3-4 days and it stays good, is it ok? But in winter it's now a bit kinda brown
My aloe Vera has a lot of leafs but not that tall . A bit smaller and it has multiple flowers around it and growing from the inside too, how can u take care of it and water it
Hi, I have an aloe vera plant but the leaves doesn't have any pulp in it. When I cut it open it is spongy looking white material. I don't know what to do. I hope you see my comment and answer. Thank you.
WOW I did not know aloe vera has flower XD I adopted my neighbor's aloe vera when they moved back to their country, it's huge now, so I thought I should look into ways to prune it and stuffs.
I know this is an old video... but if anyone can answer my question that'd be great. I just got an aloe vera plant and transplanted it immediately because the store pot was so small it was falling over. Anyway, my question is, I have on a balcony with a fabric awning. Will that do in the summer? It gets very hot here 40C+ (104F+) It doesn't get much direct sunlight, especially during the worst hours of the day, but it will be very hot.
Hi I just put my aloe in another pot without any draining holes but I put rocks at the bottom should it work when watering? Because I really don't want it to rot :/
I live in Phoenix AZ. I am an aloe freak. I have them all over like a fence. I use it always on my skin. PROBLEM: now I find the leaves curl like closing. They are not really green, more like brownish. What do you think is wrong? I do not over water if anything I under water.
I don't know much about aloe but I live in Tucson and know the sun is insane here! I've had April sunshine kill plants and the heat in summer shade kills stuff! Maybe tell them how much sun you give and I bet it's that. I would also like to know if anyone can help...
I brought one 6 months ago, now I have 3 different plants and it still has 2 more pups. They grow quickly, I'm yet to cut even one of it's leaf or whatever its called I'm waiting for a year to complete. Now it's 2 feet big
My aloe vera is outside, it's exposed to sun for about 7-8 hours a day and i water it every 2-3 days, but sometimes i water it every 4 days depending on the moisture that the soil still has in it.
Hi Nel I have my aloe plants by my windowsill and I just noticed some thin webbing close to my pot but I don't see any damage on my plant, should I be worried?
Hi - If the webbing is close to or on the plant, it could be spider mites. They seemingly spring forth when our dry heat gets turned on at this time of year. Nell
Oh you're so welcome. I've moved to the desert & now my aloe is growing in bright all day shade. It looks great but I've had to adjust the watering too. Plants are a learning experience, that's for sure. Nell
+JoyUsGarden ouh really!. I live in the Middle East. It's SO hot and dry. The man in the shop told me to give them little water everyday. My plants are getting orangey brown and getting big dry ends. Not healthy at all. Its depressing no just looking at them. How did you adjust them in the desert climate?. Thank you
Hi - Aloes can take the heat but definitely show signs of stress in hot sun. Here in Tucson the ones growing in full sun have smaller leaves which aren't as full of gel. I have mine in bright shade underneath my grapefruit tree & it's looking great. I water it every few days. Nell
if the leaves get fat and like beige, is it to much water? Ii can't get is to grow, when i get a new sprout in the middle, the outsides die.. all the time.. it's still as ''big'' as t was 7 months ago.. like tiny :p
Hi ! My Aloe is turning brownish at the top of the leaves. What should i do to overcome this sunburn? And please also inform me how lapse of days i water my Aloe? Right now in my region its winter... ! Please help !
Hi Kamran - All you can do to overcome sunburn is keep your aloe out of the direct, hot sun. In winter you want to back off on watering all plants. Every 3-4 weeks in the colder months is fine. Nell
and should I remove the bottom two that are drooping or will they peek back up? after listening longer a see that maybe I should not water every week. also it's in a 4 inch pot. when should I repot? it's about 14in in height
I just answered above that I think it's too much water +ebony williams lovinmynaturalself Those leaves won't perk back up if they've drooped too much so I'd cut them off. And yes, at that height, you can repot it. Aloe vera gets quite heavy as it grows so you need a good base for it. You could go up to an 8 or 10" pot if you'd like. Hope that helps! Nell
My aloe plants get spots in the leaves and it gets dried there. the leaves look very sick with dried spots. Could you explain why it's happening and suggest some remedy.
I am so glad I found you! A while ago I had an aloe I thought had completely died but put it in the front yard just in case. Sure enough without me there messing with it and watering it all the time, it took off and produced this huge clump of leaves. But I just repotted it today and realized how dark and muted the color was and was worried I totally killed it with too much sun. I am glad to see this guy can make a recovery!
That is one healthy look aloe vera plant.
Yes it is - I just transplanted its pup a few weeks ago. It's nice & healthy too. Nell
marlon strachan I was about to comment the same thing.
For real, I could never
I just bought an aloe vera plant because I love the game viridi! I thought if I could take care of and love this plant in a phone game I should try it irl.

Great info! I've always used aloe externally, I just recently started adding the gel to my carrot juice. I have lots, and never did much more than water it. Now I'm adding my worm castings to it. I'm hoping this will make them all larger. I have 3 different varieties, different shades of green and sizes. Thank-You! Great to meet you!
Hi, Nell! I just bought a good sized aloe Vera plant from a local nursery! I plan to use the gel regularly for my hair. Do you know when I should start watering it?

wow thank you so much! my boyfriend gave me a aloe vera plant for valentines day haha but we didnt know how to take care of it. we've been over watering it!
You're so welcome Erika! Every part of this plant is full of liquid (even the roots) so they rot out fast. Easy on the watering! Nell
Erika Torres you aloe have flower?

This was a very good video. I havent been able to keep and aloe plant alive and I hope these tips will help me. I always over water it.
I have a few I tried to just throw on the ground and it did not die. It is in full sun in the summer, and out all winter. Literally in a shopping bag, but it make a hole in the bottom. Now I am going to care for it and properly plant it.
My apartment is where plants go to die, I killed a cactus.. that's right, I'm less nurturing than a desert! 😐
Lol, You are hilarious
I was given one about 3 months ago from then I have a HUGE clump of them!!!! Love these plants
Love them too +Lukes Plants Once they start to grow & they're happy in their spot, the pus appear! Nell

Thanks for posting! All your contributions on here and Instructables are greatly appreciated I'm sure :)
You're very welcome! Nell
Yep, full desert sun outside is definitely bad for these guys. I'd better move two browning, droopy ones next to the taller, fatter, greener ones I noticed have been thriving under an awning. Thanks for the info, great video!
Thanks for the tips. I really love having an aloe plant.

I just love me some Auntie Joy ❤. I learned something new today!
😍😍😍 beautiful plant, I had a couple back in Jamaica
how would you suggest rooting a tiny aloe pup?. a friend gave me one that's quite small only has about 4 leaves. its one root has gone away... thanks in advance!
Nell I have never tried growing one in the house. I think I will give it a try!
Hi Marilyn +Marilyn Rich It's an extremely popular houseplant. I used to grow it inside when I lived in a colder climate. You should try! Nell
I made a mistake and left mine out during a 2 day freeze. The leaves turned plump & brown and fell over. Although the base of the plant was predominantly green. Is it safe just to cut the brown portions off the leaves? It is now in my garage and receives light in the late mornings and early afternoons with 60 degree temp.
So how many times can you cut it or long will it take to grow back or grow more?
I just got one today and want to grow it huge lol and don’t want to over cut it
You are adorable, I love your space there. Thanks for sharing your information.
my aloe has white strips on it but like outlining the edge of the leaf. Do you know if this species is as beneficial as the standards??
Hi, I bought an aloe vera plant. now the tips are getting brown en the leaves ar very soft and kind of swirling. am i overwatering them or should i give them more water? thank you!!

My aloe Vera has a lot of leafs but not that tall . A bit smaller and it has multiple flowers around it and growing from the inside too, how can u take care of it and water it
Hi, I have an aloe vera plant but the leaves doesn't have any pulp in it. When I cut it open it is spongy looking white material. I don't know what to do. I hope you see my comment and answer. Thank you.
I didn't know the leaves would keep in the fridge. How long do they usually keep that way?
David Johnson - Check out her blog post on 7 Ways to Use Aloe. She states that maximum freshness in the refrigerator is about two weeks.
WOW I did not know aloe vera has flower XD I adopted my neighbor's aloe vera when they moved back to their country, it's huge now, so I thought I should look into ways to prune it and stuffs.
I know this is an old video... but if anyone can answer my question that'd be great. I just got an aloe vera plant and transplanted it immediately because the store pot was so small it was falling over. Anyway, my question is, I have on a balcony with a fabric awning. Will that do in the summer? It gets very hot here 40C+ (104F+) It doesn't get much direct sunlight, especially during the worst hours of the day, but it will be very hot.
Hi I just put my aloe in another pot without any draining holes but I put rocks at the bottom should it work when watering? Because I really don't want it to rot :/
My alovera plant just changed its colour from green to light brown, what do u think would have happened?
Mohanabai Shanmugam too much sun usually or not enough water
*if its a brown probably has to do with drainage, if a reddish brown probably to much sun*
How big does leaf of plant have to get before you can cut off to use for its benefits
Thanks ❤
Great video. My aloe vera died and I'm pretty sure I know why after this video. Here's hoping my 2nd one fares a whole lot better now.
Thank you! Just remember, bright light & low water. Nell
What is the kind of dirt you use? The brand? I want something that will stay moist for a while but I don't know.
Hope so too. nell
Hi Andrea - for this i used the succulent mix which is formulated & sold at the California Cactus Center near Pasadena. nell
Hi,I planted my Aloe Vera plant a few months ago,and I notice that it's not growing and I saw some rotten spots on the leaves. What should I do?
Kim - Sounds like you're overwatering. Aloes like to go dry before watering again. Nell
I live in Phoenix AZ. I am an aloe freak. I have them all over like a fence. I use it always on my skin. PROBLEM: now I find the leaves curl like closing. They are not really green, more like brownish. What do you think is wrong? I do not over water if anything I under water.
I don't know much about aloe but I live in Tucson and know the sun is insane here! I've had April sunshine kill plants and the heat in summer shade kills stuff! Maybe tell them how much sun you give and I bet it's that. I would also like to know if anyone can help...
dark apartments always mess everything up.
Is it ok if I use a really bright lamp for my indoors aloe plant?
I brought one 6 months ago, now I have 3 different plants and it still has 2 more pups. They grow quickly, I'm yet to cut even one of it's leaf or whatever its called I'm waiting for a year to complete. Now it's 2 feet big
My aloe vera is outside, it's exposed to sun for about 7-8 hours a day and i water it every 2-3 days, but sometimes i water it every 4 days depending on the moisture that the soil still has in it.
Hi Nel I have my aloe plants by my windowsill and I just noticed some thin webbing close to my pot but I don't see any damage on my plant, should I be worried?
Hi - If the webbing is close to or on the plant, it could be spider mites. They seemingly spring forth when our dry heat gets turned on at this time of year. Nell
magical plant.
Thank you so much for the video! My Aloe Vera is thanking you as well 😄🌱
Ma Living I love how nice you are! I rarely ever see this kind of support on UA-cam anymore
@@mikaylaaa505 Ya, I do my best to only share comments that are genuine and loving. The more we smile the more likely we are to get a smile back 💃🏽
Good to know. I always thought plants had to be watered every day.
Thank you for this informative video. My plants look bad and not healthy at all. I'll take your advice and hopefully it'll get better.
Oh you're so welcome. I've moved to the desert & now my aloe is growing in bright all day shade. It looks great but I've had to adjust the watering too. Plants are a learning experience, that's for sure. Nell
+JoyUsGarden ouh really!. I live in the Middle East. It's SO hot and dry. The man in the shop told me to give them little water everyday. My plants are getting orangey brown and getting big dry ends. Not healthy at all. Its depressing no just looking at them. How did you adjust them in the desert climate?. Thank you
Hi - Aloes can take the heat but definitely show signs of stress in hot sun. Here in Tucson the ones growing in full sun have smaller leaves which aren't as full of gel. I have mine in bright shade underneath my grapefruit tree & it's looking great. I water it every few days. Nell
if the leaves get fat and like beige, is it to much water? Ii can't get is to grow, when i get a new sprout in the middle, the outsides die.. all the time.. it's still as ''big'' as t was 7 months ago.. like tiny :p
I absolutely love your videos ty
Hi ! My Aloe is turning brownish at the top of the leaves. What should i do to overcome this sunburn? And please also inform me how lapse of days i water my Aloe? Right now in my region its winter... ! Please help !
Hi Kamran - All you can do to overcome sunburn is keep your aloe out of the direct, hot sun. In winter you want to back off on watering all plants. Every 3-4 weeks in the colder months is fine. Nell
JoyUsGarden Thanks
and should I remove the bottom two that are drooping or will they peek back up? after listening longer a see that maybe I should not water every week. also it's in a 4 inch pot. when should I repot? it's about 14in in height
I just answered above that I think it's too much water +ebony williams lovinmynaturalself Those leaves won't perk back up if they've drooped too much so I'd cut them off. And yes, at that height, you can repot it. Aloe vera gets quite heavy as it grows so you need a good base for it. You could go up to an 8 or 10" pot if you'd like. Hope that helps! Nell
Going to be purchasing my first aloe plant to grow what alcohol do you use to clean the leaf anymore information and help would be highly appreciated
She's referring to rubbing alcohol. AKA Isopropyl Alcohol. It's a first aid antiseptic.
Hi! My aloe vera plant leaves have turned little bit into reddish.. What could be the reason? Are they dying?
My aloe plants get spots in the leaves and it gets dried there. the leaves look very sick with dried spots. Could you explain why it's happening and suggest some remedy.
