Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

It’s Friday Eve finally 🙂↔️ My boyfriend took me to Home Depot to pick up some necessary supplies, I got fertilizer but sadly they were out of perlite … how does a garden store run out of perlite?!😟 Anyways so instead I used that as an excuse to get some plants… he put a limit on my plants so I only got two 😒 lol jk… someone needs to monitor my addiction… I got a Othonna Capensis ‘Ruby Necklace’ & an Aloe ‘Purple Haze’ I redid the big pot yesterday & finished it today with a string of things because I felt like it needed it, & I love the pop of color. It also has Echeverias, (3) and a pachyveria of some sort, in the middle not sure which kind. My aloe came with a pot so I used that to repot it & it’s now in my Haworthia window with my other aloes & plants of the like. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #repotting #AloeAddicts #Aloe #purplehaze #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #GrowingSuccs #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #succulentarrangements #RubyNecklace #StringOfRubies #stringsofthings #StringsandThings #HangingPlants #NewPlants #NewGrowth

What's up with my aloe? My aloe is over 3 years old, and has always been very healthy. She still looks quite healthy on the surface, but her stem is very brown and it seems to be starting to wear out/grow narrower. She's also leaning quit a bit, which worries me. Not sure if this is just how she is or some indication of an actual problem. #questions #sickplants #Succulents #PinkBlushAloe #Aloe

Someone thinks it’s spring. Little does he know second spring just ended and third winter starts today 😂 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #CactusClique

What type of aloe? What type of aloe plant is this? Any of the results I've been getting using the plant identifying photo is showing up incorrect, so I'm unsure. I've had it for about two years now. The taller photo is from a couple months ago and the second is from today. #aloe #aloeplant #aloeplants

My Aloe Plant Is Becoming A Bit Discolored I received an aloe plant as a gift and I’m a bit concerned as it is becoming discolored. It sits outside and I spray water it every week, but I’ve only had it for about two weeks. Curious if this is normal, or a sign that something is wrong. Thanks!

Does anyone have any tips, tricks, advice, soil mix recipes, fertilizer, grow lights help, and/or info for growing a big healthy aloe? It would be greatly appreciated! Mine is pictured down below and I’m struggling a bit with it. #AloeVera #Aloe #aloeverahelp #AloeAddicts #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #PlantLove #Fertilizer

Just adopted a Tiger Aloe from the store! She has cobwebs and is stuck in her current pot, so I am going to take that as a sign! #Aloe #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #GregGang

Hi again #succulentsquad & #cactusclique 👋🏼 🙂 Had to post a 2nd photo dump for my warmer weather loving succulents summer growth! 🌵🌞 A couple shade cloths over my hot southwest deck made all the difference this year! 😎 #socalgreg #succulentlove #cactusclique #plantaddict #echeveria #aloe #stringofbuttons #stringofpearls #newgrowth #happyplants

Yeah, Pugsley may have been just a bit rootbound. Never seen one literally deform the plastic pot before... #rootporn #rootbound

So Pugsley, who arrived insanely rootbound but has responded well so far to life *not* in a supermarket checkout display, is scheduled for repotting today. The pot is ready, the gravel is ready, the soil is ready, but as you see Pugsley is out here feeling... festive. I have to trim this beauty for the plant's own good, but before I do, an appreciation post to celebrate how very weird these #Aloe variants are.
