I took a few photos of some thirsty vera pups this morning to help me make this post…I do keep most of mine a little more dry, the ones in the new greenhouse especially dry out pretty good. The yard gets a lot of rain and I mostly just have the older plants that can…
I have seen some version of “Aloes don’t like direct sun” in every plant group on FB (or plant forum, subreddit, whatever)...even in some of the Aloe groups now. Some of this article may seem a little…snippy lol. But it gets really old reading something over & over when you know it’s not true. It’s…

Use a fast draining soil mix. Bagged potting soil is too organic and does not drain well enough. Even most of…
Stress color from changing temps in the winter. Aloe vera I like to say “brown is not sunburn, it’s a stress color” (and stress is not always related to sun exposure), but really there’s a few different reasons why your Aloe may turn brown...it’s not always a stress reaction, and telling the difference between rot,…
Aloe ‘Viper’..I guess technically not a garden shot since I brought it inside to test out my new light box. Aloe ‘Sweet Teeth’ Aloe arborescens var. lutea offset Aloe glauca hybrid Aloe vanbalenii, A. chabaudii and a few others.. Happy Holidays!
Came home from visiting family in Oklahoma with four unruly pots of indoor chinensis plants…cleaned them up and repotted most of them this morning. I kept a few pieces out to repot separately and experiment with in different growing conditions. I’d like to bring one indoors once cleaned up and repotted in my gritty mix…
Brown/orange/red/gray/etc are temporary stress colors and not always sun related. They are caused by change in the environment and are not harmful. Sunburn bleaches the color and scars the leaves. It is caused by moving a plant too quickly into more sun than it was used to, it doesn’t mean Aloes don’t like direct sun (they do!) Signs of thirst are thin, curling leaves, crispy leaf tips, and stress colors In combination with the other symptoms. Pale green, thin new growth, drooping leaves and long, top heavy stems are signs of not enough light. Poor draining soil and/or too much water can cause thirst symptoms, as the roots die or struggle to grow. Other signs of the roots struggling are strange dimples in the leaves. Eventually the plant will “suddenly” rot, especially if poor dra
~6 year old Aloe vera with two bloomstalks forming this year...currently in a 10 gallon pot. Some winter color. Go through any succulent/houseplant/plant clinic group or subreddit and search through all of the many, many Aloe posts. All those “what’s wrong with my Aloe?” posts are caused by people spreading the “they hate sun” and…
