About Carmine Aloe
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. 🔥

How to fertilize Carmine Aloe
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Carmine Aloe after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

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

Got to repot some things today & yesterday, whilst repotting my Aloe ‘Delta Lights’, I dropped it on its head and broke some leaves 😭.. it was so root bound and stuck in the pot, I quite literally had to fight with it for a about ten minutes to get it out the pot it was in.. 😒 when I dropped it upside down… the whole rootball (the dirt) fell apart & the dirt got all over the plant & crevices 😟. All in all it was a STRUGGLE to repot it, but I was able to get it done, lesson learned *don’t let it get so rootbound to where it’s almost impossible to get it out of the pot*… (photo 1) I also repotted my Silver Snake Plant today in my other 20 inch teracotta bowl, (the aloe went in the other one). I wanted to use them for an arrangement, but honestly my plants have gotten so big this season to where I don’t even have pots big enough to repot a lot of them right now. 😫 so I just had to use them for one plant, which is fine because honestly those plants both need more space to grow. (Photos 2-3) I put my Graptopetalum ‘Superbum’ in the pot that I took my Aloe ‘Delta Lights’ out of. It had slowed growth & the dirt just seemed kinda hydrophobic. I’m hoping to see a little growth before I have to bring it in during winter. (Photo 4) Lastly, the Aloe ‘Delta Lights’ looks like it’s starting to form a flower stalk.. it’s never bloomed before, I’m hoping me repotting it while it’s actively trying to flower isn’t gonna stunt or affect it. I added some granular fertilizer so hopefully that will help keep it on track.. 🤓 #HappyPlants #GrowingSuccs #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #Aloe #SnakePlant #SnakePlantSquad #SilverSnakePlant #BloomingSuccs #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #OutdoorGrowing #PlantLove #repotting #Graptopetalum

🌿✨ Friday Introduction: Miley, My Aloe Sovereign ✨🌿 Meet Miley—my aloe vera diva, reigning from her rattan throne on the patio. She’s not just a plant, she’s a personality. Long, speckled leaves with serrated drama, always reaching for the spotlight (and the sun). 💅☀️ I named her Miley because she’s a little bit healing, a little bit chaos. She thrives on minimal attention but demands maximum admiration. Hydration? Only if it’s artisanal. Compliments? Constant. 💧👑 She debuted in my life as a humble sprout, but I saw the star power. Now she’s the green goddess of my balcony—unbothered, unwilting, and unapologetically extra. 💚 Every Friday, she expects a tribute. Today, this is hers.

I got two new cacti today 🌵 The first one is a Blue Myrtle Cactus, I love how tiny & cute they are. It’s kinda hard to tell the size in the picture but it’s in a 3 inch pot. The second is a Fire Barrel Cactus, I love the magenta spines at the top! As well as the ridges in the cactus, all together is a super visually stimulating plant with its unique textures & colors. 😍 I also potted up all my props that were ready for their own pot! The third photo is my Sedeveria ‘Harry Butterfield’, the fourth is ‘Firecracker’ Aloe, and the last photo is all of my newly potted Pachyphytum ‘Starburst’ 🌱 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #Propagation #PropDontShop #Sedeveria #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #cacticollect #Ferocactus #BlueMyrtleCactus #Aloe #Pachyphytum
