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.

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.

Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? Greg says it's a tiger tooth aloe but i'm not sure? #TigerToothAloe

Turning brown This was a baby from another that I separated about a month ago. I just watered it a dribble today so the soil is damp, but not wet, and it is virtually in the same spot as before I separated it. Why is it turning brown? I have a lifetime membership to Plantin (before I met Greg), and it says the plant is completely healthy 🤦♀️ #tigertoothaloe

Thrips #happyplants #pestcontrol #succulentlove My aloe juvenna (Tiger Tooth Aloe) hasn't been doing well for a few months now... Short story: Roots = very shallow, hard Leaves = wrinkled, yellow, and quickly falling off, white lesions Stem = upright, green, white lesions, hasn't regrown leaves Light = Bright, indirect Watering = around every 14 days Long story: I've noticed that in the last couple of months, many of the spikes lining the leaves have gone red, and there are white lesions on some of the leaves (1st pic) and stem (2nd pic). I've pulled off the dead leaves, and they haven't regrown, but it's pushed new leaves out of the top of the stems. I changed it into a more water-retaining soil (still cacti mix) as the roots were dry as a bone and watered a bit. The soil has gone moldy VERY quickly (not drinking up the water?). I'm wondering if the lesions might be thrips. Any thoughts?

February 2024 I picked this little guy out of the ground in Puerto Rico from my Vrbo host home. Yes, he told me to take him home.Lol but he hasn’t gotten any bigger, so I’m not sure what I should do to help him grow #TigerToothAloe

Winter in Ohio. And now it’s mush. #TigerToothAloe I accidentally left the window open and the cold winter breeze overnight blew in and it became mush in the morning. I cut off the dead mushy parts, but will it survive?

Tiger tooth aloe is turning brown Hello plant friends. My tiger tooth aloe is starting to turn brown. Top of soil is dry. It's in a deep pot that drains. I've had it for about 6 months and it went from no plants in the soil to the little buds that you see. In the last couple weeks it's turned brown and I'm not sure what I need to do next to save it.

Should I propagate my plant? I got it quite stretched out, and underwhelmed and I can say it has thrived since then. I also think the pot size is way to small, wht should I do?🙃 #TigerToothAloe

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 💘
