underpotting is fine, when they totally outgrow their pots the above-ground growth will slow down significantly and theyll either take foreverrrr to get thirsty or theyll start getting thirsty way faster than usual. if you cant get a bigger pot that accommodates all the roots you can always just trim some of them off (preferably the older ones, if youre able to identify them). since its hot out (im assuming) its prob best to just leave it alone for now to reduce the stress its under. but if it starts struggling go ahead and size up
@planthoe40 OHHH, I never knew there was different species! So I assume she will remain this size?
@Xer0 yes there are several different versions of aloe. @newgreenie i believe it's a candelbra aloe.
Aloes are honestly happy with a larger pot to grow into. I water to the size of the plant, not the size of the pot. If that makes sense? Just make it chunky, light soil, and it’d be totally fine. So that one in the red pot, this is probably like a month ago? I did transplant them, it exploded with babies. 😉 But my point is, repotting up can be tricky and unsettling; it’s not something you can’t do and it’s totally normal for anyone to feel that way, especially with succulents; they are easy… till they aren’t. 😂😂🤦♀️
