I’m glad I’m not the only one who drills holes in random thrift shop finds 😂
Loving that aloe blizzard! I'm slowly drifting out of the tropical plants into more succulents and cacti. I love the idea of having plants that put out extraordinary blooms without so much work.
I think you're going to love Aloes then. So much to choose from with succulents and cacti.
Love ur Wind Chimes. So Peaceful
BEAUTIFUL Aloe Plants 🪴😍
I have the red dragon aloe...it's growing like CRAZY!! 2023
The aloe blizzard is beautiful
I didn’t know there were so many varieties of Aloe! Wonderful video💚
This is just a tiny selection actually. They have every size and color imaginable. So glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.
Now that's it's cooling down, I'd love a growth update on your aloes if you feel up to it!
That's a great idea Arthur. I was actually watering my balcony plants today and noticed how much they had grown over the Summer.
Hi Carmen, aloes are nearly my favourite genus, euphorbias have the number one spot. Lovely aloes, and such a huge range available. We don’t have any access to any new aloes at present, due to travel restrictions. So I am concentrating on my what I have. In Australia many aloes are coming into flower now, our days are changing ....thanks for sending us more sun. It will soon be repotting time....there is a lot to do..I am amazed at the rate of growth over the past few months. Aren’t we lucky that we have our plants to keep us sane. Enjoy your videos so much, you certainly are comfortable in front of the camera , your voice is so soothing and your presentation superb.
I love Euphorbias too Cherree. That genus also has an amazing variety. I don't know how I would have functioned the last few months without my plants. Thanks so much for your kind words and for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
I so agree!!!
Noisey Rosie! 😆
I love that you keep your plants maintained, I can’t stand seeing yellow leaves👍🏼🌿🍃🌱
I know there's lots of people that let the leaves die and fall off naturally, but I just never liked that look. I don't let it linger, I chop them off! LOL!
I'm now going back and binge-watching all your wonderful videos!
Glad you like them!
My favorite quote of yours, “that’s life out on the balcony.” 👍🌵🌿🌱
Maybe I can use that as the title of my book! LOL!
I knew a lady called Carmen about 50 years ago in Hornchurch in Essex.
Aloe juvenna! Thank you for helping me ID my aloe. 😃 I love your aloe collection, Carmen. I can totally relate to you with the heat. We have not had rain in Vegas since April. This summer is really terrible. Thank you for showing us your aloe collection, Carmen. Stay cool and safe. 🙂🌵☕️
Yes, I think that's about the last time we had rain too. Not even the monsoons have come this year. It's really bad. Stay safe and cool also!
Wonderful video. Just now seeing it. Learned the names of a couple of my unidentified aloe, and saw two I need to shop for. Thanks.
Very cool collection! Congrats! Thanks for the tips!
Glad you like them!
I love the bowl with the Aloe Macrosiphon. I buy pots, bowls, teacups, etc from my local Salvation Army store and like you, I drill holes in the bottoms. Love your aloes!
Thanks so much for watching Eileen! I love using thrift store finds as pot.
Love you and the skills you share plus your lovely red shirt! Your color!!
Thanks for sharing. It is only now that I've known of the varieties of Aloes. Interesting plants, too, that do not require much care. God bless and keep safe--Philippines
Love, love your collection and your video.
Breath-taking collection.
Very nice collection
I have learned so much with this video. Thank you for sharing your collection.
Glad it was helpful!
A really great collection.
Hello Carmen love your aloe collection. Really enjoyed this video. Can’t wait to see what’s next. 🌱!! 😊
Lot's of knew stuff coming up. Next video will be showing the new set up in my bedroom and living room!
Thanks Carmen ♥️
Can't wait for the next video.
Hi Margie! The next one will be up next Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by.
Carmen, your Aloes are gorgeous!!! I have 2 big aloe vera plants. And 2 other types of aloes can't recall their names, but I love them. And thanks to you I will be looking to add to my collection. Thank you for sharing 😊
That's great! I think you'll really love adding more to your collection. Thanks for visiting!
Wonderful info Carmen! Thanks! 🤗🤗💚💚
Thanks so much Ashley! Have a great weekend and stay safe.
Nice colection
Hi! Carmen, Beautiful Collection you have! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome, I appreciate your watching!
great job
I’m always learn something new from you! I didn’t know why aloe would curl up like that. 🌿❤️
So glad you stopped by Sarah! Have a great weekend!
I love your channel. It teaches
Very informative .
Carmen, love your collection and the information you shared with us. All your plants look so good. I have a few succulents and will be adding more after watching your video. Love your channel!’
Wonderful! Good luck with them and welcome to the channel.
Great video I’ve learnt a few things I didn’t know about Aloes definitely want to include some in my collection. That Striata is beautiful. I’m a recent subscriber and enjoying your channel immensely
Thanks so much for joining the plant community here. Hope you enjoy it and come back often.
Great video! I own a few succulents ( which are bought online or not online and some are begged for )
I only started with aloe Vera chinensis as my first succulent and then in July 7 I bought a aloe hybrid online and I once struggled identifying it because the name says "aloe hybrid ( no name )" and picked the size variation as Large 1 then 4 days later ( 1 day before the plant arrived ) I finally identified the plant and it was a Aloe DZ ( aka Aloe Debra Zimmerman ) which Is created by Karen Zimmerman when I received the plant it has a rubbery like touch and texture and the plant was so beautiful and 7 days later after receiving which is today the plant is about to bloom I was excited that I can make my own hybrid which my land is full of eggplants but not really if I crossed these guys I would make Aloe Egginensis ( eggplant aloe hybrid ) sadly 3 of the eggplant tress dies and some remain to flower I'll edit this comment if the flower has gotten bigger or bloomed
Hi! My favorite was the aloe juvena. Never seen it before till today. Love it!
I think I got that one at Ikea, but I've seen them at Lowe's too. Thanks for watching!
Hello friend. You've made me feel more confident in purchasing an Aloe. Thanks for the variety. Awesome collection by the way. OneLove.
I'm so glad you feel more confident with them. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
So beautiful plants growing
So nice of you, thanks!
Amazing aloe collection!! Your striata has grown so much since the last video!! My favorite aloe in my collection is my macrosiphon. I learned something new today...1.) I didn't know it's nickname was alligator and 2.) I had no clue they offshoot pups!! Thank you for your wisdom auntie!!
You're so welcome! Thanks for stopping by. 😊🌱
Beautiful collection 😍
Thank you 😊
I do the same for dead/dying leaves. 😊 Another Great video!! You are a pleasure to learn from. ☀️
Thanks so much, I appreciate the kind words. Have a great weekend and stay safe.
Carmen Whitehead You too, Carmen! 💜
Nice collection Carmen. I’m definitely inspired. I feel a greenhouse visit coming on. 🤔. 💞
Go for it!
Your set is beautiful. Love the fish bone!
Thank you so much!
You have a beautiful collection Carmen, I only have the crocodile and a few unidentified ones, they are such easy to care for plant babies💚
You're right, they are very easy to care for. Thanks for stopping by Elizabeth.
Tfs🤗 big like! Learned so much 😘
You are so welcome, I appreciate your visiting!
Love your videos!
Glad you like them! I appreciate you visiting and watching.
Beautiful collection. I get confused between Aloes and hartwartias. So just treat them they same.lol. My Lowe's had some many plants on clearance for a dollar and two dollars. I have a ball they mostly was in good shape.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽❤️😍🙏🏽❤️😍🙏🏽
No problem 😊
Well, now I need a new one to add to my collection ;)
Which one will it be? So many to choose from! Good luck and I appreciate your watching!
Carmen, beautiful collection. Do you have any recommendations for taking care of an aloe that give black spots?
Great video, super informative. Nice collection.
Thanks Emily! That means a lot to me coming from you, I know how well you take care of succulents.
Carmen Whitehead awe thanks 😊
Wow😍So many aloes! Thank u for sharing all your tips😊. I hope i dont do too well with my new aloes bc i dont have room for more😂. Live the frog planter🥰
I didn't realize exactly how many I had until I did the video. I still plan on adding more this Fall.
Dear Carmen, you are most gracious and also a great teacher. I love the Aloe plants. We live in Central Texas and might buy an aloe vera for our front patio. We have one in the living room and it's great but I have never seen it bloom. Any tips?
I remain,

You are so welcome!
Thanks for this video!! I have a zebra aloe vera which had many pups and i thought i could separate them and have more but most of the pups die, i did not know the best time for that would be in the fall... good to know love your videos!
also wondering if you can demonstrate how you drill the holes
with your vintage pots , i have many pot i can use just not sure what kind of drill you use or how too..
Yes, I actually made a video on that.

Hello I want to thank you for sharing this video I learned a lot thank you and God bless I will keep watching
You are so welcome! I appreciate your watching, have a great weekend!
Great collection! I just wanted to add that they often curl in their leaves because they are thirsty. Especially ‘Firebird’, it definitely appreciates less direct sun and more water here in SE Texas. (Also, your ‘Snowstorm’ looks more like ‘White Fox’, and your “vera” at the end is actually a hybrid called ‘California’. Definitely lots of similar hybrids out there!)
Thanks for the tips! I'll take it from your name that you know what you're talking about. LOL!😁
It’s pretty rude to be correcting others on their videos, Smith. Especially when you’re wrong
@@carmenwhitehead you are most gracious and also a great teacher. I love the Aloe plants. We live in Central Texas and might buy an aloe vera for our front patio. We have one in the living room and it's great but I have never seen it bloom. Any tips?

Carmen! I am new to your channel. I love it! And I’m in the Phoenix area also!
I’m trying so hard to be a “plant lady” I don’t have a green thumb. But I keep trying. I love cacti’s!!! Now I want an aloe plant!
Aloes are a great succulent to start with and they are so easily available. My suggestion would be to start slow and feel comfortable taking care of the ones you have, before you get more. Welcome to the planty community!
Oh I love the one leggy one in the middle of the video . Kind of has a ZZ vibe to it
That's the Aloe Juvenna. I got that one at Ikea, but you can find it at Lowe's or Home Depot.
Carmen I just need to tell you after watching your video 😁 I ran 🏃♀️down to one of my favorite green house "Mesquite Growers" and bought me a the Tiger 🐅 Aloe !!!!!(and some others 🤭) My hat👒 goes off to you because your plants are just BEAUTIFUL I don't know how you do it, I live in Tucson Az and my garden is really struggling because of this heat ☀️♨️🥵🌡️ we've been having...😑☹️😞😔
My balcony garden struggled this Summer too. I think it's just Aloes are so much more resilient than Echeverias or Sedums. Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!
@@carmenwhitehead thank you for your time and effort in all your videos 💓
I tried the Aloe Vera a few times and seem to always kill them. I'm good with the Climbing Aloe though. Absolutely love the way that Blizzard looks and will try to find me one. Thanks!
I love how you often put large stones on the soil near the base of the plant. Is it solely for aesthetic purposes? or is it to prop it up or other reasons? I was just curious...I love how it looks. You plants are lovely. 💕🌿🌱💖
I use rocks often for stabilizing a newly potted succulent or cacti. Sometimes I forget to take them out after the plant is well rooted. But, they also look good too. Thanks so much for watching!
Aloe are so tough!! They withstand so much. Mine is growing like half an inch every day, they're great
Probably the easiest succulent to start off with. Thanks for visiting!
Hi that’s awesome growth! :) is it light green and long?
So many kinds. I saw a white aloe twice at Lowe's & thought of u. I think if I tried to keep aloes in they would die. But I have 4' of aloe vera in the ground all afternoon sun. Thankfully that will out live me 😁
Aaah, thanks for thinking of me. Aloe Vera is such an amazing plant, it will grow almost anywhere. Thanks for watching!
We are on the same wavelength! I *just* watched your other aloe video and then this popped up. I thought YT was glitching 😂
What a funny coincidence! Hope you enjoyed both.
@@carmenwhitehead Always do!
Hi Carmen. Heads up the plant stand has Raven ZZ right now
Yes, I saw their Instagram this morning. But, I'm on a tight budget until the 21st. So, I'll need to wait.
Ugh. It will probably be cheaper later anyway
Nice i have an aloe vera and what i was told was a clumbing aloe my veras got burnt this spring but coming back
They really are a resilient plant. Good luck with yours.
Great content. do you do any videos on plant propagation?
Here's one that may help you
ua-cam.com/video/cKbrSYhCvUA/v-deo.html
Aloe Vera is the best air cleansing plant...edible and medicinal
Yes, you are right
Oh I would love to see a humming bird...for real...we don't have them here...but we do have didji-didji's which are super cute and otherwise known as willy wag tails!
That's so interesting. I'm really into bird watching lately.
I have always been fascinated by nature, ever since I was a little girl. Was given my own garden patch and sunflower seeds when I was 7. I remember watching a parrot we call locally '28's' eat my biggest sunflower in neat rows. 28's and sunflowers have been my favourite ever since. I have always had a green thumb and spend all my time outside. I travel for work and am always collecting cuttings and seeds. Succulents have long been a favourite. I recently got some Boab seeds and I grow a lot of bush-tucker plants, and fruit and veggies. I have a large property with chickens who fertilise everything for me and pinch my tomatoes.
Thank you for this great aloe video. It was so informative. I did want to let you know that your link for the succulent fertilizer is not working.
Thanks for the info!
Really nice collection. 😃 Love the Partridge Breast. Do you let them go to seed after they bloom? I have strange twisted kinda one, I’ve given away over the years and grew it back from from seed. 😃💚
No, I've never done a seed collection or planting. If you follow the channel Cactus and Caffeine, she's in Las Vegas and just did an Aloe seed hybrid. Very cool! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
Carmen Whitehead You too, I hope it’s getting a little cooler for you out there. 😃
Hello Carmen. Nice finding you on UA-cam😉💖🙏The Aloe aristata I have been growing for years!😉It definitely naturally loses its' feeder roots in summer and what remains are long tap-roots. Try keeping it under your shade in midsummer. Don't water it and let it close up into a rose-bud shape!☝️From fall season it starts to make new roots and resume watering when dry👌Aloe aristata is a winter growing aloe the same as variegata. Let me send you some photos of mine to your Instagram😉🙏
Thanks so much Newman for that info. I have it in water right now and it is growing new roots and it looks stable. So, I think I'll leave it in there for a bit longer. But, next season, I will do as you suggest. Thanks!
@@carmenwhitehead Thanks for your messages!😁🙏💖Enjoy your plants. Hopefully August will cool down into September👌I enjoy watching your channel. It's relaxing and educational too!😉
New subscriber
Thanks for subbing and welcome! 😊💚🌱🐶
How big do pups of a aloe need to be before you transplant them? Ty!
I usually wait until they're about 6-8" tall. Thanks!
i thought aloes were just dry and thirsty when they're curled up like that, i have one outside that i have been watering frequently lately, i have no idea i might be overwatering it by now, thank you for this info! will be moving that aloe indoors ;)
So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
My neighbor gave me a giant aloe and it died.. I think it got root rot from the rain.. it was on my patio. I like the small ones with the zebra stripes!
Too much rain can kill a plant also. I've lost some succulents to rain also.
I found a plicatilis/ gasteria variety of aloe...I like this kind!!!
If you don’t mind me asking, what direction does you balcony face?
My balcony and all my windows face east. I specifically chose this apartment for that reason. The things we do for our plants. 😊🌱🐶
💚Wow, what a collection😳!!! I have (1) Never knew there were different types🤔 How's your gifted mini phal doing? You cracked me up when you said you pull dying/dead leaves off. I'm an avid orchid collector and that's a no, no. Too funny! Az high desert🌵neighbor here.
Hi Sharon! Well, my mini phal is down to one leaf! I know, I'm so embarrassed! I think I'm going to take it to my mom's and have her foster it for a while. Stay cool and safe!
@@carmenwhitehead Well, I lost two phals in my first 3mo. of growing. It happens. If you really want to learn how to grow watch "Orchid Whisperer" or "Rick L" on you tube. Neither are posting anymore but so much to learn there. I've been growing for two yrs now without a loss.🤞 Be safe...✌️n 💖
Very nice plants. I still have not found the variety that was given to me. It remains tiny and does nothing but produce babies. I had a year old boyleii which produced babies, too. But this tiny, fragile variety is unreasonable. More like a peppermint plant - I do my work underground...
I don't know why I started my succulent journey with an echivera. 🤦🏽♀️ She almost put me off of succulents all together.
Echeverias can be hard. I don't have that many. Aloes and Euphorbias are my favorite succulents and there are so many to choose from.
@@carmenwhitehead I have an Aloe Vera now and love it. I've neglected her a bit recently in the Houston heat, but she's still looking fantastic. Such an easy and beautiful plant!
Hello. I use heated propagator, my aloe is 3cm how should i watering soil?
I wait till the soil is completely dry before I water my Aloes. Then I water till water drains out the holes.
Does any of your plants have healing benefits?
Hello! How do I encourage aloe Vera to flower? Mine is more than 3 years old and the leaves are strong, but no flower!
I've found that direct morning sun seems to help in the blooming process. They need some sun (not harsh) to activate the process Good luck!
I just found your channel thanks to the crazy plant guy ..lol Never new there were so many Aloe's...love love the Partridge Breast, Really like your channel too, you have a new fan. thanks for all the info I only have the one Aloe Vera now I want more.
Oh thanks so much Rhonda and welcome! I love the Partridge breast too, it's such and amazing Aloe. Good luck with your collecting!
Didn’t know it was that many different aloe plants
What is the difference between aloes and gasteria succulents?? Some of them look similar.
It's hard to tell the difference. But, I found this article that may help succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/how-to-identify-different-types-of-succulent-part-ii-aloe-agave-gasteria-and-haworthia
I just put tons of cacti in my bedroom. All under fluorescent lighting
Does the coral fire aloe have the same benefits as aloe Vera
No, I think that's exclusive to the Aloe Vera.
@@carmenwhitehead ok. I got the corral fire I guess it’s cute enough to keep thanks
How do you get an aloe Vera plant to flower ?
I don't have a formula, but I do know they need lots of bright light. For me it's just been luck.
Did you add stones to the plant
I sometimes add small rocks for appearance, or bigger rocks to help stabilize the plant if I've just repotted it.
How much perilite do you add to the succulent soil?
I usually make it about 25% of the soil mixture. Hope this helps.
@@carmenwhitehead Thank you for answering my questions. Your a lovely lady 😉
What about radiator Heat
I think that's fine as long as it's not too close.
WHERE IS PLANET DESERT PLACE?
It is an online shop.
nice ornamental plants, help see my shop brother
Thought it was my pup lol
Got any boy plants?
As a matter of fact I do. 😊.
@@carmenwhitehead 😂😂😂 most of mine I consider to be female too lol.
