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

Should I remove the dead parts? So Two parts of my Tiger tooth Aloe plant have died and I don’t know if I should remove them or to keep them because I don’t know if they will hurt the plant or help it, Also how should I remove the dead parts if I should remove them.

I was loving the short stout version…. #TigerToothAloe any feedback on why my cute short stout tiger tooth aloe might have grown tall and slender?!?? Not that I don’t like a tall slender plant, but was really loving the short stubby prickly arms.

Unfortunately it’s not pet safe, and can brown easily if not in the correct environment. But it is very cool to look at!

Hardy as hell - survived being left on a radiator (on accident!). All my other plants literally boiled and died, RIP. This guy just kept on truckin. Have had him since 2017 and he’s happy as a clam even after 4 moves, the radiator incident, and a puppy that took a particular liking to his potting soil. If you’re looking for something impossible to kill, he’s your guy.

This was one of the first plants I got and I’ve had it for quite a while (longer than any of my other plants anyway). I’ve put it in the wrong soil, to big a pot, left it without sun, gave it to much sun, not given it enough water, given it to much so that it browns and all through that it’s still survived
It’s such a good plant for beginners and is so easy to bring back from any incidents whilst also looking rlly cute

This plant is easy to care for as they don’t require you to do much! They love the sun and are beautiful when sat on the windowsill so not just wash to care for but beautiful too. Would definitely recommend if you’re just getting into buying real plants like me 💘
