About Aloe castilloniae
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 Aloe castilloniae
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 Aloe castilloniae after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Lola has been moved outside at my grandparents today and has also been replanted with succulent soil. :) I’m hoping she’ll grow big by the end of the summer. :) I’m excited to see how big. 🤗

Just got my girl Patricia today! Lowe’s was dehydrating her so I brought her home, trimmed her up and we’ll see if she’ll thrive! (Don’t worry, I repotted her and gave her some better soil with coconut coir ❤️)

Should I repot? Is it time to repot this one? Will it get any bigger to where it would need a bigger pot? It is currently in a 6 inch pot. If I do repot it then I’d probably go to an 8 inch but not sure how much bigger it could get. I’d rather give it its forever pot now if I’m able to as opposed to having to repot it again in about 6-9 months

🗣️SEND HELP! My aloe plant is not doing so well. All the new stems are very flimsy. I believe my mom over-watered it. The base stems are still firm and in tact. What can I do it get her back healthy? #AloeVera
