About Aloe 'Snow Drift'
Many people are familiar with Aloe vera, but this genus of plants contains tons of other beautiful succulent plants that come in all sorts of colors! Their succulent leaves evolved to store water in dry climates, which makes them a perfect fit if you're a busy plant parent. With great care (and a lot of sunlight) you may even see your Aloe bloom! Their flowers grow out of a large spike and can be shades of red, orange, and yellow. 🔥

It’s Friday Eve finally 🙂↔️ My boyfriend took me to Home Depot to pick up some necessary supplies, I got fertilizer but sadly they were out of perlite … how does a garden store run out of perlite?!😟 Anyways so instead I used that as an excuse to get some plants… he put a limit on my plants so I only got two 😒 lol jk… someone needs to monitor my addiction… I got a Othonna Capensis ‘Ruby Necklace’ & an Aloe ‘Purple Haze’ I redid the big pot yesterday & finished it today with a string of things because I felt like it needed it, & I love the pop of color. It also has Echeverias, (3) and a pachyveria of some sort, in the middle not sure which kind. My aloe came with a pot so I used that to repot it & it’s now in my Haworthia window with my other aloes & plants of the like. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #repotting #AloeAddicts #Aloe #purplehaze #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #GrowingSuccs #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #succulentarrangements #RubyNecklace #StringOfRubies #stringsofthings #StringsandThings #HangingPlants #NewPlants #NewGrowth

What's up with my aloe? My aloe is over 3 years old, and has always been very healthy. She still looks quite healthy on the surface, but her stem is very brown and it seems to be starting to wear out/grow narrower. She's also leaning quit a bit, which worries me. Not sure if this is just how she is or some indication of an actual problem. #questions #sickplants #Succulents #PinkBlushAloe #Aloe

What type of aloe? What type of aloe plant is this? Any of the results I've been getting using the plant identifying photo is showing up incorrect, so I'm unsure. I've had it for about two years now. The taller photo is from a couple months ago and the second is from today. #aloe #aloeplant #aloeplants

Does anyone have any tips, tricks, advice, soil mix recipes, fertilizer, grow lights help, and/or info for growing a big healthy aloe? It would be greatly appreciated! Mine is pictured down below and I’m struggling a bit with it. #AloeVera #Aloe #aloeverahelp #AloeAddicts #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #PlantLove #Fertilizer

Just adopted a Tiger Aloe from the store! She has cobwebs and is stuck in her current pot, so I am going to take that as a sign! #Aloe #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #GregGang

Why is he so long 😭😭 Can someone explain to me how my poor little aloe went from being so cute and chonky to LONG AND SKINNY 💀💀 he still sits by my windowsill and gets bright indirect light from all angles 🤔 He looks so weird but I still love him 🤣 I just don’t understand why he decided to grow out this way! All of his other aloe friends are still chonk and compact 🥲 care has been the same other than the fact that he was repotted to a slightly bigger pot. Could that be it? 🥲 📸 first pic is today, second & third picture is when I got him from an anon #fairyplantparent this year July 💚🪴🫶🏽 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Aloe #PartridgeBreastedAloe #ChonkyPlants #PlantTherapy #GregGang #Greggers #kscapedream

⛅ It's a partially cloudy, cool month in Los Angeles so I figured this was the best time to acclimate my winter-growers to outdoor sun. I did this last year with my Haworthia Retusa f. geraldii and she bloomed in spring! 🌸 🙌🏽 I'll bring these green bbs inside by south-west window when it starts to get too warm in late spring. 🙂 It's a myth that Haworthias don't like direct sun! —They just need lower temps 40-70 & TLC to adapt to the rays. 🌤️ 💚🤍 #succulentsquad #happyplants #succulentlove #haworthia #zebrawart #chonkyplants #aloe #fatplants #wintergrowth #newgrowth #outdoorgrowing #socalgreg
