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.

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?

How to best support the long leaves? Because the weight from them being so long, keeps slowly tearing them down at the attachment point #CandelabraAloe

Struggling with my Aloes I could use some help!! I’ve had all these aloe plants for years, and they’ve never seemed to thrive and I just cannot figure out what’s wrong! I’ve messed around a little with trying different light, as I feel that’s probably the culprit. Top one is a pup of my big aloe, and has really not grown since I put it in its own pot. The bottom 2 seem to always have dry, crusty ends and the leaves are very flat and don’t seem to be full of fluid like my other aloe plants. #AloeVera #help

My Candlelabra Aloe on my patio is brown and droopy! Too much water? Or not enough water? How can I tell? #CandelabraAloe

What can I do with these? I had to repot Liberace and he had so many babies. It was extremely difficult to try and separate them with roots attached. Can I let them callous over and them try to root in water.? Or would it be better to just put them directly into soil and hope for the best. #aloevera #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #propagationstation #succulentsquad #succulentlove

My aloe in teraccota pot suddenly started to get these spots. I survived the last good looking stems by cutting it and growing new roots in water. Now I plan to pot it again in soil. But still want to understand the brown spots!? #CandelabraAloe
