You can make smoothies with it as its good for digestion, gurd and IBS. Some people just take thin slice and goes down easily follow with orange juice its kills the after taste. If you use only the gel its not so bitter.
OMG finally a video that gets to the point and actually gives god info. Every other one I’ve seen are boring to watch and I derive nothing from it. Thank you for the great info!
I am a new plant mom. I inherited a few prayer plants from my late mother and I recently purchased an aloe plant and I wanna help it grow. Please keep us posted on your plant journey
Girl I love how much positive you are , I’m from Germany and I thank you a lot , because I have first time one Aloe Vera and I will try my best to, thank you 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Hello-- Michigan here. I literally just brought my plant inside. I repotted it New potting soil. No name brand. I placed it by the sliding patio door! It did sooo well outside. It about as big as the one she is showing. I'm praying it all works out. Fingers/eyes crossed.
@@olgurl9857 does light hit the top of your fridge? A plant stand is best, that way. you can access the plant easier and avoid dust collecting up higher.
My mom kept the aloe Vera plant in basement for like 5 months and the plant is in really bad shape so I am watching these type of vids and learning because I heard it’s really good for ur skin. .YOUR VID WAS AMAZING THANKS.
Just purchased 2 small aloe plants and your vid definitely gave great instructions how to grow one. Was wondering about how much to water them but you answered that question. Enjoyed the vid.
It's the crown in my garden. I have several and have planted, and saved, many more and given away countless. I live in the Caribbean, so it's easy for me to maintain them. They just want to be, and the bigger the better.
I put all my plants outside during the daytime. I’m in a good spot for sunshine. I even do the same for my snake plant and venus fly traps. I give them the vip treatment. And your correct aloe vera is a go to medical plant. I had used the gel I had for a wound and mixed it with peroxide.
I love that you are not giving up on trying to care for plants and you got another aloe plant despite killing two. I am a new subscriber here, I love plants but have killed so many already, most recently I killed a basil plant I bought from the grocery store. I thought I would get basil for life but it barely lasted a couple of weeks :(
Hi Sabrina! Welcome! Aww don't worry, basil can be difficult, many herbs in general at times. Yes, I love having aloe veras, crazy how it took 4 to get the care right lol. The first two aloes I had simultaneously so they dwelt together and died together. RE-live and learn 💚
You have inspired me to try this plant again. I have one i plan to salvage (she is not dead yet...) Im going to water FAR less frequently this time around and will give her some light cycle(s) to make sure she stays happy this time. Great video.
Thank you for watching! Absolutely, they are worth giving another try. This aloe is still going strong, it is on a summer vacation outside, and it is a lot bigger now. 💚
I leave mine on the window sill and forget about it. It loves it and got 2 pups as well from it. I water about once a month or less frequently. I am quite lucky, I live in the South UK. Once I put it out in the sun but it was too strong and started to turn red, then I overwatered it and the leaves got soggy, but it survived. It is about 4-5 years old
Hello friend... Great video... I have 2 plants in my garden...My mom . Usually makes alle vera hair oil to prevents hair fall... Immunity booster too...I appreciate your content you selected....Keep sharing...Iam a new member in your family...Have a great day y friend..
This is my 2nd time watching this video and it seems like I learn something each times. I can't believe that I have 7 variety of aloes and they are still alive after 1 year. I'm a newbie to plants. I must be doing something right. My favs are succulents and cacti. I wish I had a greenhouse or a yard to really experience my miniature green thumb, so I have everything under grow lights. When I first got this one particular aloe it was a dark green, now it's lighter in color. I'm just wondering am I doing something wrong?
Heyyyy , Love The Video! Your Aloe Looks Amazing 💚 Where Did You Get It From?? And Can You Possibly, Do More Videos On Aloe ? The Progress Of Growing Maybe? How Yours Got So Big Especially! (Ppl love It!!) But Yasss Good To See You On Here My Fellow Sistaaa ! 🖤 Keep It Up 🤞🏽 New Subscriber 🥰
Hi there, and thank you so much! Yes I would be happy to make more videos on aloe vera. This plant is so wide and top heavy now! I really need to repot it lol. I will do an update on it soon.💚
@@greenmable475 💚 No Problem Girl! I Love Your Videos, I’ve Watched All I Can With Your Aloe In Them And Your House Plant Tours 🙂 So Yesss I’ll Be Waiting!! Lol
I have killed a few. One thing that has helped me is to know when the plant’s dormant season and growing season is. Not all succulents are the same. Some grow in the winter time and some have a summer growing season. When a succulent is in it’s dormant season it needs less water and less light than during it’s growing season. Find a succulent site that lists the growing season. If you do not know what the name of your succulent is then try to identify it and match it to the list.
I loved this! Even though I don't have an aloe vera, I still learned two things for my current plants. Which I need since I do tend to kill off my plants slowly but surely. Thanks for sharing:)
In the winter time is the light in the house good enough for the plants if you don't have alot of sunshine coming in? Thanks so much for sharing Amen May God always bless and keep you going strong and healthy full of life Amen Thanks again God bless ya
Hi thanks for watching. In the fall and winter, try to place your aloe in a room with a south facing window, south facing windows are sunniest during the winter time in the northern hemisphere. Hope this helps!
Loved your video and tips - I didn't know you could do much to protect the aloe veral plants at winter. Newly subscribed- looking forward to more videos like these!
Yes, repot. Mine is spreading too, and is long overdue for repot because the pot falls over without support with it being fall/winter, now may not be the best time. I recommend waiting until the spring to repot.
This may sound crazy but I just heavily water my Aloe every 3- 4 months (to mimic desert like conditions). I had it 5 years now and I keep it in my south facing window. It gets soo much heat and sun all year around, that it turned Blue lol.
Hi! I’ve had my aloe plant for awhile now, it’s still in its original nursery container that’s about 3 inches tall. The leaves look healthy but I’m noticing that since it’s been growing some leaves aren’t as firm and are falling backwards. I’m wondering if it’s outgrown its pot and maybe needs more soil so I just wanted to know when you recommend getting a bigger pot? Thanks! 🙂
Hi there! Your aloe will unlikely "grow" but the light should help sustain it, or keep it alive during the winter, just be sure to avoid overwatering it. Thanks for watching!
Natural sunlight or natural shade; sun exposure 4-6 hours preferably. I have not used them for aloe but they will probably work fine. Thanks for watching
I have my aloe in a plastic pot and it's doing great. I just brought it in the house for winter. I built my own soil with vermiculite to lighten it and for drainage. Fyi: the rings under your plastic pots are areas to punch for drainage. Since it's inside now... I think I need to put a saucer and rocks under it to mimic the self watering you have. It started turning white... Not enough light. I bought a grow light hoping it works. Do you know if grow lights are effective for them? I'm new to growing aloe.
I love how you hold the aloe vera like a baby! I love the pot you are using and your explanation is very good. Thank you for sharing your failures and your exciting win. Do you have to put less soil? Is that why she is tilting and moving?
He's my big baby 🤗thank you for watching, I'm happy you enjoyed it. Sometimes they tilt with whichever direction the sunlight is. I do try to. nudge the soil to help balance it out in hopes of it not leaning too much and becoming unbalanced.
I liked the video sis but you could have recommended some of your best soils and maybe so good nutrients. Thanks for the video though. I know now not to over water thanks 😊
I only have north and east facing windows 😔. I have a balcony but it's on the north. I really hope it will still thrive under those conditions. would a plant light be a good artificial lighting option?
If your balcony faces north then your aloe will grow well outdoor with the northern indirect light. Artificial will suffice in the winter, but it must be powered on at least 8 hours daily.
What do you love most about aloe vera plants?
I used to cut a piece and rub the aloe on my skin to see if it really worked that way when I was a kid. I think I saw it on TV once 😂
@@SmartMoneyAnimation 😄that's something I would have done as a kid too 😂
I like that I have an immediate salve to put on a burn that soothes and heals
Thanks for the tips I'm new to plants did u buy the plant in its form or you started from the seed
You can make smoothies with it as its good for digestion, gurd and IBS. Some people just take thin slice and goes down easily follow with orange juice its kills the after taste. If you use only the gel its not so bitter.
It is so cute how you are holding it so close like a baby, a puppy or like you have your arm around a child. Adorable. ❤
You really love your plants like "babies". You made me want to go get one today! Great personality too. Thank you for the tips.
Aww great! I’m happy to help. Thank you! That made my day! 🤗💚
I gon one to flower last summer. Humming birds loved it.
I love how you held, talked about and handled your aloe plant 🪴 like it was a child. You're very engaging ☺️
This video answered all of my questions. I put mine in a self watering pots and so far it is doing well.
My mom has a beautiful aloe vera, the last one I had didn't make it. Look forward to giving this plant a try again. Thank you for the tips.
Definitely! they're worth trying again! 💚
OMG finally a video that gets to the point and actually gives god info. Every other one I’ve seen are boring to watch and I derive nothing from it. Thank you for the great info!
I am so happy to hear this! 🤗💚 Thank you Ms. Chloe! I am glad it was helpful!

I Love Your Energy ! So Inspiring , Thank You ! 🧡
I put all my plants outside during the daytime. I’m in a good spot for sunshine. I even do the same for my snake plant and venus fly traps. I give them the vip treatment. And your correct aloe vera is a go to medical plant. I had used the gel I had for a wound and mixed it with peroxide.

“I’ve killed three!” 😂 thanks for the video you answered all my questions!
Thank you for sharing! I use raw aloe gel for so much! I literally use it every week in my hair
oh wow, that's cool! I like to use the gel on my skin.
I drink alovera juice every day ❤❤❤❤❤
That exactly what i needed to save my aloe vera!
Yay!
You have inspired me to try this plant again. I have one i plan to salvage (she is not dead yet...) Im going to water FAR less frequently this time around and will give her some light cycle(s) to make sure she stays happy this time. Great video.
Thank you for watching! Absolutely, they are worth giving another try. This aloe is still going strong, it is on a summer vacation outside, and it is a lot bigger now. 💚
Just in time! My aloe vera is looking a little sad so thank you so much for the tips!
absolutely 👏🏽
It definitely makes any place more inviting!
for sure! thanks for watching!
You did a great job...I hope to get my Aloe Vera that thick.
I have a lovesong for you..
Thank you friend! I am so excited about its growth! 💚

Are the lines on the outside of the pot used for soil measurement?
OMG! talkin to your plant, like its your dog, lol💖💖💖
Yes! 🙃😄

Great explanations and you're so funny!
Always been so interested in growing aloe vera too! Very timely vid!
Yes go for it! 💚
I just got an aloe Vera plant this weekend
I start to love aloe vera because i have hair fall. I plant so much aloe veras
Aloes are incredibly resourceful!
i love how many uses aloe vera has. i use it sometimes when i burn myself on the stove lol
Aloe is definitely useful for burns! Thank you for watching💚
Loved your video and tips - I didn't know you could do much to protect the aloe veral plants at winter. Newly subscribed- looking forward to more videos like these!
Oh wonderful! Yep, they can be resilient with proper care. Thank you for watching.
I’m finally a proud Aloe Vera Dad😊
Great advice! Thanks for sharing.
Of course. Thank you for watching 💚
can i start my aloe vera plant with one frm the store? like buy a leaf and stick it in the soil?
Possible, but I'd recommend starting with a small aloe vera that is already planted if you've never had one before.
How long did it take to get to this size and height ?
Wait Sis i have my Alo here in Qatar 45degrees sun how often should i water?
I've killed 3 aloe veras and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong 😭 this video helped a lot!
My aloe Vera is spreading so wide and beautiful. Is it advisable to repot or cut it back
Yes, repot. Mine is spreading too, and is long overdue for repot because the pot falls over without support with it being fall/winter, now may not be the best time. I recommend waiting until the spring to repot.
Thanks for video
Ty
The shape of it and everything we can do with it too!
Yes!
So is it better to water from the bottom or the top?
During the summer, top.
Thank you the video was very helpful.
Hi Mike! Thank you for watching. I am glad it was helpful. 💚
Thank you!
My aloe Vera is very leggy and it was killing me to know why! Thank you for the tips :)
Great. thanks for watching! I am happy to help 💚
What type of soil? Pls
Can I pot with Snake Planrt
This may sound crazy but I just heavily water my Aloe every 3- 4 months (to mimic desert like conditions). I had it 5 years now and I keep it in my south facing window. It gets soo much heat and sun all year around, that it turned Blue lol.

Hi There! Thanks for watching! Yes, it needs a larger pot. Mine is overdue for repotting and is doing the same thing.
Beautiful
Great info!
Thanks for watching!
You explained it well‼️
Thank you! I'm glad the message was clear. 😃
Thank you.
If i get a fullspectrum led lamp will it help the aloe vera to grow during winter? I live in where there isnt much light.
Hi there! Your aloe will unlikely "grow" but the light should help sustain it, or keep it alive during the winter, just be sure to avoid overwatering it. Thanks for watching!
How much do I water it?
Does aloe vera need to be planted in cactus soil
Yes. 💚
How about under grow lights would you give them 16 hours of light or would you give them 12 hours of light?
Natural sunlight or natural shade; sun exposure 4-6 hours preferably. I have not used them for aloe but they will probably work fine. Thanks for watching
I have my aloe in a plastic pot and it's doing great. I just brought it in the house for winter. I built my own soil with vermiculite to lighten it and for drainage.

It started turning white... Not enough light. I bought a grow light hoping it works. Do you know if grow lights are effective for them? I'm new to growing aloe.
I think grow lights can help sustain their need for light during the winter. Best wishes! 💚
How often do you suggest we water an aloe vera plant?
I think you're suppose to cut out the circles at the bottom of the pots u said didn't have drainage
That's usually the case with pot that have a removable drainage up outside around the base of the pot.
I love how you hold the aloe vera like a baby! I love the pot you are using and your explanation is very good. Thank you for sharing your failures and your exciting win. Do you have to put less soil? Is that why she is tilting and moving?
He's my big baby 🤗thank you for watching, I'm happy you enjoyed it. Sometimes they tilt with whichever direction the sunlight is. I do try to. nudge the soil to help balance it out in hopes of it not leaning too much and becoming unbalanced.
If only the tip of a stem is bent, shouldI pinch it off or the whole stem? 5/21/23
Even in winter time... Is should I put near window??
Thx for the answer...
Lov your video👍👍👍🙏♥️
especially during the winter. thank you! 💚
I liked the video sis but you could have recommended some of your best soils and maybe so good nutrients. Thanks for the video though. I know now not to over water thanks 😊
2:49 on the soil recommendation.
I only have north and east facing windows 😔. I have a balcony but it's on the north. I really hope it will still thrive under those conditions. would a plant light be a good artificial lighting option?
If your balcony faces north then your aloe will grow well outdoor with the northern indirect light. Artificial will suffice in the winter, but it must be powered on at least 8 hours daily.
