Jurassic Dino
About Jurassic Dino
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 Jurassic Dino
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 Jurassic Dino after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Having trouble understanding what my aloe vera needs. I'm new to this This aloe vera plant is a pup I received. It was yellow and only had 3 leaves when I received it. It seems to have grown, but I don't understand why the leaves are pencil thin, and I don't know how to thicken them. It is in a 4 inch terracotta pot, and I used a mix of indoor potting soil with added sand and a little compost. This may be my mistake here, but I am unsure. If anyone can recommend any good reputable soil brands for succulents or recipes for my own succulent soil, please let me know 🙏 I water her once a month, and I'm not sure if that's correct. And I don't get much sunlight in my room at all. Should I consider moving it outside? Her leaves are mostly green and firm, so I think she's mostly fine, but I need the leaves to thicken up. What do I do? #greg #greggang #question #succulent #aloevera #help #helpneeded #diagnosemyplant #diagnose #whatdoido

Time for a repot.. My aloe is getting very squished in her pot with 7 pups! I want to propagate the pups but I’m nervous.. 😓 advice would be very much appreciated! Do I cut the pups off and wait for them to scab before repotting? What about the mother plant—do her wounds need to heal as well?
