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

My candelabra aloe is BLOOMING! I’m so excited 😇 I’ve had succulents and cacti bloom before, but this is the first aloe to bloom for me. And he is one of my most neglected plants 🤣 which succulents do like, so I guess that’s why he’s giving me a flower. So excited to see the buds open! 🪴🌸 and for a bonus, my #BaseballCactus is growing teeny little flowers, too! I love spring 🤗 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Aloe #CandelabraAloe #BloomingSuccs #CactusClique #Succulents #babevila

Dying from bottom up? My aloe is still growing, and has given several babies. But it looks like it's dying from the bottom

Shrivelled yellow leaves after repot. #CandelabraAloe My Aloe was doing very well, but was crammed into a small pot, sprouting babies. About 3 weeks ago, I separated the two baby plants from it, and put the "mother" plant in a slightly bigger pot in soil for succulents. She's developed some very sick looking yellow leaves, very shrivelled. I watered her a few days ago, hoping maybe it was too dry (I water her about every 2 weeks). Should I cut these leaves off, or will that do more damage than good? I am gutted because she was a really healthy looking plant before the trauma of the repot.

Hi. This plant used to be very green and beautiful. Now it looks blue green. What did I do to it and can I bring the beautiful green back into it?

Help! This guy was doing great, and was growing fast. Now the middle is white, wilting, soggy and falling out. No changes in watering. #CandelabraAloe
