- If there is one thing I do NOT like doing, its' digging holes. Unfortunately, that is a big part of gardening but I have come to the perfect solution! What is the most extremely planting you have ever done? Let me know in the comments.
"It was hilarious, he's fine - but whatever." You're one of a kind, lady!
Debra, that thing is a MONSTER! Way back when - in the 90's, let's say - before I had a PC and was first getting into plants and their cultivation, I didn't know about the giant species of aloe. Then, about 20 years ago, I started growing succulents and had a rock garden behind my apartment in Shreveport, LA where it can get quite cold (into the teens) in the winter, I planted some long leaved aloes that must have been quite cold hardy. They multiplied like CRAZY. I was constantly digging up "pups" (offsets) and giving them to my friends at work. Now, I'm retired in Lake Charles, LA and my gardening is restricted to pots on my sunny patio. It's much warmer down here (subtropical). It's Jan. 10, 2024 and we haven't even had a light freeze yet. I'm thinking of getting a large variety of aloe (either ferox or marlothii), keeping it in terra cotta pot near a heated room where I can scoot it in case of an even light freeze. Great channel, BTW. I'm a subscriber, so keep the good videos rolling! 🪴🌵
“......Colin is going to hoist it (the aloe) over his shoulder.....” 💪🏼 LOL
A sheet/s of cardboard and a tarp under the root ball will reduce friction and add control and lift to the mass and protect the leaves
from dragging on the rough pavement. Beautiful specimen and a great installation!!
What a marvelous specimen!
Wow! Looks 10 times better!!! Laura, can't say enough about you! And Greg, be careful! Thanks for sharing this garden installation with us!
Talk about a statement piece, that aloe is amazing! Great job as always Laura.
Laura's gorgeous job looks so good. Love your saying too when you talk.
AMAZING!!!! BIG LIKE from TURKEY!!!
Merry Christmas Laura, Greg and crew. We are going to have a hot one....over 110degrees. Thats why I grow succulents and cacti!
That giant aloe is just WOW!
So beautiful ❤
looks great! can’t wait for more. you know who else looks great, collin. ♥️☃️🎄
Holy wow that Aloe is gigantic. I have a small aloe in front and can't even fathom what to do if it gets that big😆. Thanks for the hack👍. Now I know how to transplant a big a@$ plant😂.
Молодцы!!!
Wowwwww it looks beautiful now ...I can't wait to see it finished...as I watched the video I am revisiting my front yard design to incorporate succulent and cactus. Greetings from Puerto Rico zone 12. Happy holidays and best wishes for 2020.
BTW Collin??? Added inspiration ... thanks for sharing
Installation is stunning! Colin lookin good too! Haha! Good to see Greg is doing well too! Thanks for your videos!
A.ferox is a good choice..big,but not a tree Aloe,and without the blood mess a A. marlothii does to people..like me once years ago. Tripped and fell on it...grabbed it to to keep from falling in
a face plant-. instead a plant got me! You should use Aloidendron congoensis Laura also. Not a huge tree Aloe. Maybe 10-15' tall,nice with a rich apricot flowers..as in right now in my front yard.
I loved.
Looks really great, but I’m wondering how much that large aloe set them back $$$...Ouch!
Very cool video! how old is this scarlet? and it is possible to grow at home such a size if half a year is on the street and half a year in the room!
Hi Laura, great work.
Can you talk about the aloes that are still in the cans on your right side by the wall and window?
I have 4 giant aloe ferox. One of them "crashed" with the weight of the top heavy growth a couple of years ago. I hacked the trunk back to the base of the leaves and plopped it in another location hoping for the "the best". Low and behold it has rooted and looks great. No blooming so far. I want to be proactive and do the same to the others as the trunks are tall and the leaf growth is getting heavy and unbalanced. What do you think?
What kind of soil does ferox grow in ? I’m growing from seeds and they seem to be struggling in soil made for succulents
Can you also give me an idea what to group with aloe Camperi and aloe Cameronii for the third element in a xeroscape full sun area?
Your work is amazing as always. Anybody know what the name of the plant is at 3:31 on the left had side of the screen? Look like a hedgehog or sea urchin. ua-cam.com/video/qUrmvRlw2iQ/v-deo.html
