Got to repot some things today & yesterday, whilst repotting my Aloe ‘Delta Lights’, I dropped it on its head and broke some leaves 😭.. it was so root bound and stuck in the pot, I quite literally had to fight with it for a about ten minutes to get it out the pot it was in.. 😒 when I dropped it upside down… the whole rootball (the dirt) fell apart & the dirt got all over the plant & crevices 😟. All in all it was a STRUGGLE to repot it, but I was able to get it done, lesson learned *don’t let it get so rootbound to where it’s almost impossible to get it out of the pot*… (photo 1)
I also repotted my Silver Snake Plant today in my other 20 inch teracotta bowl, (the aloe went in the other one). I wanted to use them for an arrangement, but honestly my plants have gotten so big this season to where I don’t even have pots big enough to repot a lot of them right now. 😫 so I just had to use them for one plant, which is fine because honestly those plants both need more space to grow. (Photos 2-3)
I put my Graptopetalum ‘Superbum’ in the pot that I took my Aloe ‘Delta Lights’ out of. It had slowed growth & the dirt just seemed kinda hydrophobic. I’m hoping to see a little growth before I have to bring it in during winter. (Photo 4)
Lastly, the Aloe ‘Delta Lights’ looks like it’s starting to form a flower stalk.. it’s never bloomed before, I’m hoping me repotting it while it’s actively trying to flower isn’t gonna stunt or affect it. I added some granular fertilizer so hopefully that will help keep it on track.. 🤓

@Charli3Plant yesss , I have never had a pot that was so badly rootbound before. Like it was SO HARD to get it out and the fact that it had so many pups, it barely left me any room to even get it out. But I was able to get it done after strong arming it 😅🤣 .
I was doctoring an aloe vera for my daughter,& noticed mine needed some help also. Luckily I had rooted some in water. I added a piece to each pot & put them in a better place with light, but inside so I could keep an eye on them. They also got a bit of lemon juice in their water once or twice. They started perking up & little offshoots popped up like crazy!! Don't know where I heard about the lemon but I just used a bit of the real lemon juice I buy to add to tea. Who knew?
@PrimeChinarose that’s neat about the lemon juice! It’s funny you don’t even know where it came from 🤣 isn’t it funny how our brain just has random facts lol.
