I was wondering if anybody would want to post a pic of their aloe(s) here....just wanted to check everybodys out!

Mine is currently not worthy of posting.....

(I feel like i'm posting a question here, but i'm not! )

Thanks!

This one was a rescue from a nursery. They were going to toss it because it got frosted on last fall. My neighbor took it and forgot all about it on top of her freezer in a dark room. I'll get an updated pic tomorrow...it is HUGE now!

If it is droopy, are you overwatering? Here is what mine looked like when I came here...



Downright pitiful!

My big one outside was a Wal-Mart special for either $1.99 or $2.99 Is your inside or outside? They love LOTS of sun.

I actually own a digital camera, I'm home from work early, and it's sunny. OK. Now I have to figure out how to use it and post the pics. I'll try...

may God bless the WHOLE world!

I have 4-5 pots of aloe some look ok some not and some need repotted, but I'll get pictures in the morning and post them. badplanter...go ahead and post a picture of yours, maybe some one can help you make it healthier or happier.

Here is my photo of my cheap walmart aloe. I am getting ready to put it out in full sun soon, so it will turn a healthy red!

Ok..here are mine, The middle one in the bottom row, I have had this pot going for 15 years and this old pot doesn't even have a drainage hole in the bottom, I have removed everything except one plant many times from it, but it is really a producer of babies and thrives even with neglect. The one on the bottom left doesn't get much light or water...And the bigger ones on the top row need to be repotted as does the single plant on the bottom right.

Thanks Tonya, as I said my aloe plants all need something or another, mostly just re potting would help mine. I collect flower pots from anywhere I can find them...I have so many and they are not all in the same place it is a chore just to find the right pot for each plant. Organizing all my flower pots into the same area is my winter project this year. I have a huge enclosed back porch with a wooden work bench across half of it, right now it is filled with this and that, boxes & jars. DH use to have a bunch of his stuff there, but recently gave the whole porch to me...It will be my plant/seed room. Its also my laundry room and its also home to a few plants that need protecting from the cats, the biggest Aloe are there, they use to be in the living room window until they were knocked out of the window by the cats and one pot got broken, so I relocated them to the porch...It has windows that all face south.

Cool, Mark! I would move this one to a window with more light if possible. It looks pretty healthy, but more light will cause it to stand up better.....

Hi everyone,

Mine looks like Kratz7's aloe except the leaves are much wider and mine lays down rather than standing upright. And of course right now it has a 2 foot flower stock on it. Wish I hadn't dropped the camera lol. It doesn't want to take pictures anymore for some reason. I'm such a clutz.

Well see them below. This one did not work

If you want the rainbow you have to put up with the rain!!

Very nice Cinta! I love how you have all the succulents grouped together..It looks really nice.

Hello, I'm new here, but here's a pic of mine anyway. It's a little wilted from being re potted again, but now it's going baby crazy.

Angelblossom...Yours looks just like one of mine does. It is really great to see every ones Aloe's, so far I haven't seen a bad aloe plant, some us need to repot, but that is part of having plants...We have to always repot things and during the gardening (outdoor) season...repotting something just seems to get pushed to the back burner. A gardeners work is never finished!!!

* * * *

I just got a new Aloe it is in a 2" pot and when I got it was so dry that you could lift soil and plant out all together...At least I know it wasn't over watered Anyway it is called Tiger Aloe, notice the little bumps it has on the leaves, that's what got my attention, I hope it grows fast, it is suppose to bloom spikes of bell shaped orange flowers. I plan to repot it sometime in the future, to make sure it has good soil that will drain properly and also I want to put it into a clay pot.

Comfrey - I had one of those a few years ago - I think mine was labeled Tigers Jaws - because of the spines that face inward like a mouth of sharp teeth. Unfortunately, mine got black spots all over it - never did find out what that was from.

I hope you have great success with yours - it's a very nice looking plant!

Lord, please let me be the person my dog thinks I am!

I really liked the third one, what kind was it?

Here are mine:

The little one is tied to a chopstick...it was doing some really wierd curving growth thing, so I'm trying to encourage it to stand up straight.

I don't know the name of the third one.. it was labeled 'aloe'.

* * * *
Lord, please let me be the person my dog thinks I am!

comfrey, yes it does make babies....there's one in the pot right next to it and if memory serves me correctly I had removed one once before and gave it to my mom.

I don't know what kind the second one is either, but that thing makes babies often too. There is one in the pot again right now, one in another pot I had removed before and I gave one to my mom.

I do love aloes, I just wish the stores were better at labeling them. Most of the time the label will just say aloe. The one store I usually buy from does the same thing with cactus. They just put cactus assorted on them too.

Lord, please let me be the person my dog thinks I am!

I think your third one is actually a type of haworthia...I can't remember the exact species right now, but hopefully it will come to me

Melinda

woohoo! Looks like it finally has a name.. thanks!!!

Want to share my new aleo but I don't know it name.
A friend of mine gave it to me on 25/10/06 and I am hoping it will grow big,big and big...... =)

Here is my aleo

When you say it is curving around, what exactly do you mean? Is it floppy, or still firm?

From personal experience, I would say repot, maybe a little deeper into the soil, and find better light. Go to page 3 of this topic to see what I did with my curvy aloe - it is looking much better since I posted that pic.

Good luck!
