How to fertilize Climbing 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 Climbing Aloe after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What makes the leaves go flat and curl like this? Also, it has started wanting to fall over. Is it too big for the pot? I don't seem to get very many roots on any of my aloes. It's in a wide pot in front of a south-facing window. Seems to be very happy here. Produces many many pups. I've had it here for 3 years, and this is its second pot. It has been in it for over a year. I'm in North Carolina. The light looks dim right now because it's early morning.

I found a leaf on my aloe that was drooping and it was towards the bottom and the leaf was rotting I assume. It wasnt yellow or anything I suppose slightly discolored where it was rotten. Not sure what might've caused this. No sign of pests on it. #ClimbingAloe

Hey all! So this is getting really tall. Do I cut it and replant the top part? How should I do this? New to plant life. This app has saved me 🤗 TIA #ClimbingAloe

How big will it get? #ClimbingAloe

Pest on climbing aloe? Does anyone know what these little things are on my climbing aloe leaves? There’s some sticky residue around them, but not much. The plant is overall pretty happy, it seems. I haven’t gone through and rubbed down every leaf yet to see if they come back but didn’t know if someone could help ID it first.

Why? Hi guys. My climbing aloe really wowed me with how she's grown from being so small to this. But one of her growths is slowly browning, and I don't know why. The other is not only doing fine but has a pup as well. They're in the same pot? Is this something I can stop from happening? Is this natural for this variety? I'd much prefer not to lose this. Thanks! #succulentsquad #plantaddict #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Good morning/afternoon Planty friends 🧡 My "Quintus 💚 is growing well I've not noticed the new growth till this morning #climbingaloe

Why does me plant look so dry. I water it weekly.

I neglected this poor thing in low light for too long. It got extremely leggy. What to do about this? Can I just chop off the healthy part at the top and clone that in a smaller pot to start over? #ClimbingAloe

Super easy to care for & propagate. The recipe for success is: well-draining soil, lots of bright light, & dry out before watering!

This plant will survive well, with a good amount of light and leaning towards under-watering, rather than over. Looks cool!

Climbing aloe is my first ever plant! It has grown like crazy in the past few months. This plant species is very hardy, after forgetting to water it for a few weeks it stayed green and continued to grow. I would totally recommend getting one of these!!

I love this specific species because it almost vines up and you can make it some crazy shapes if you try hard enough. I swore I killed this guy last summer but he came back strong and started growing again!

I struggle with this because once it gets like 14-15 inches tall, it starts dropping over so you have to cut it. Or should I add supports? Or can I propagate the 6-8 inches I cut off?

Easy going. One of those forget about it plants. It’s pretty forgiving, doesn’t need much water. Loves lots sun but will grow fine it medium light too.
