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.

What are these black spots on my aloe plant? I noticed these black spots on my #AloeVera Other than that my plant looks healthy. I recently potted her up a few weeks ago. Does anyone know what they might be? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #AloeVera

My aloe is sick. What do I do😭😭😭 She had black spots and I keep chopping off her leaves. What’s wrong with her.

What happened to my aloe?!?! It was THRIVING. Two days later the inside is dark red and mushy (aloe equivalent of root rot?) and in pruning his poor leaves they were VERY wet. But, WHY? Did nothing new or different. Repotted it recently but it seemed happy the first few days and now this 😭

Help my poor aloe! I have to laugh because this must the one of the easiest plants to care for. The people who neglect their aloes seem to have to most big beautiful aloe plants! But I have been struggling with this one for the past year. I believe I over watered it for a while. I’ve stopped over watering it. The soil is dry. I watered it about two weeks ago. But now it’s looking sun burnt and thirsty. Should I water it? Move it? It’s in a porch with all windows and gets more sun fall and winter because the sun is lower in the sky and the leaves have all fallen off the trees. #AloeVera #Aloe #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #planthelp #overwatering #theamigos #GregGang

I am so sad to report that despite the best advice and my hardest efforts, Post mALOEn was unable to be resuscitated. I have to carry on the legacy. Someone point me in the direction of a new aloe plant? #RIP #AloeVera #PlantAddict
