You shouldn’t water it very often otherwise white mold will form on the soil and absorb all water from soil and plant

this plant is a very fast grower which is both a good and bad thing.

Easy enough to grow, however I've had ongoing problems with odd dents in my leaves and browning on some of the tips that needed to be removed.

Everyone should have an Aloe Vera for its medicinal properties. The gel inside the leaves heals burns faster than anything else. Even if you aren’t a plant person, keep one of these on your kitchen windowsill for cooking burns. They require some sun & a good watering only when they have dried out. This super easy plant will often come to the rescue!

This plant was perhaps a failed propitiation but it is just turning brown and attracting flies and has a rather foul smell

I have loved every aloe however, one of the Aloes I have has struggled with some brown stems unlike my other luscious green aloe. :)

Tough and likable, Pop is beloved by all and does his own thing. He virtually takes care of himself and can thrive under most any circumstances.

My Aloe Vera is my favorite plant ever. It’s so hardy and has given me a plant army worth of offshoots to propagate.

We have accidentally over watered our plant quite a few times, and it’s always been able to bounce back.

I planted my Aloe’s from seeds that I purchased at Target and some at Walgreens. I wasn’t so optimistic and didn’t think they’d grow, but they did. The first batch of seeds only 1 of them germinated and the aloe is now about and inch long and has three little cute leaves.

The second batch of aloes 4 seeds germinated and began to grow 1 leaf each. But the other day one of the four was dead. It began to turn brown at the tip and was not getting as big and thick as the other three. But it could’ve been that it was just not meant to be. Anyways, three are still green and getting bigger.

My advice is to not rush and be patient. Give it a whole month, maybe two until you begin seeing anything IF you’re thinking of growing Aloe from a seed kit.

They do work. 🥰

I’ve have this plant for about two years, and I’ve just started to water it recently. It’s survived this whole time without proper watering. I’ve spritzed it every now and again but that’s about it.

Been wanting to own and grow and aloe for such a long time. I tried growing them from seeds but they never make it. The next day after my last seedling died I found this one on my street in dire situation. He was so thin and sad looking and I immediately brought it home and gave it lots of care before placing it with my other plants. He’s very happy now.

I’ve had my aloe vera for a little over a year now and i love it! i’ve used it a few times for sunburns and it works really nice. It does seem to take a while to grow, but overall it’s a really nice plant and you can go a long time forgetting to water it💀

Very easy to care for just literally good soil, water and sunlight and that’s it and if you want it bigger just get it a bigger pot to grow into!
