Hi Lyn! Wonderful you saved this 28 year old aloe and Im sure it will appreciate being potted into lovely fresh soil 😊 Ive had my struggles with this particular aloe as well. Used to have two and found out the hard way they're not cold hardy but thankfully managed to save one.

Awwww thanks so much Donald :-D this Aloe really is a golden oldie and I am so glad I was able to save it and it has re rooted really well, the weather has been amazing in Belfast the past week with 20c temps and sunshine but its back to raining today here too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Northern Spain for a brilliant afternoon XXXX
I am so confused................why do "they" keep changing plant names ? I had a plant like yours but unfortunately lost all but one small pup. It is struggling but I didn't kill it over winter. Hope it fares better after I can move plants outdoors. I had another nice specimen over 20 years ago. I knew that one as Partridge Breast. Leaf color and markings pretty much the same but growth habit was very different. That plant was very compact and had a pyramid ship. Leaves were shorter at the top than at the bottom and it had spiral twist to it. That was a gorgeous specimen and wish I still had it. Have not been able to find replacements for either type in the last year but will keep looking.
Awwww I hope your Aloe variegata pup recovers well for you William, its crazy how they keep changing the names of plants, I can't understand why they don't keep them as they are especially as a lot of the names are difficult to remember as it is haha, thanks so much William for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic new week XXXX
How lovely, that this plant is with you for such a long time! I have mine since about 20 years too, almost 'killed' it twice... they get burned quite quickly and I think they do not like any heat at the roots either. I have mine in a clay pot now, it had no problem to stay in the heated (min. 3-5 C) tent over the winter 😊
Thats fantastic you have had your Aloe variegata for 20years too Jeanine :-D they really are beautiful looking plants, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic new week XXXX

Good morning Lyn! I meant to ask you about repotting the fern leaf orchid cactus; do you treat it like you do other cacti & succulents after repotting it? I’m referring to leaving it a week before watering after repotting. Thanks Lyn!
Good morning Carol :-D yes I keep the fern leaf cactus unwatered for a week after repotting, just to let the roots settle after repotting, I do lightly spray the top of the soil and the leaves after I have repotted as its an Epiphytic cactus, and after a week I water as normal, thanks so much Carol for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic new week XXXX
Hi there, yes Astrophytum asterias can go a little bit shrivelled looking at their base, as long as the base is not soft or rotting this then this can be a normal appearance, but it could be god to remove the cactus from the pot just to check over the rot system in case their are any signs of insect pests like root mealy bugs that could be preventing the cactus from taking up water, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic new week XXXX
Is it OK if my aloe tips shrivel back? It always does it and I can't figure out a cause. I only water when it's dry, and it has no diseases. It's an aloe parvola. the tips get like, pinkish (!)/red and die back. Weird. It also has a pink scab on one of its arms. Just bizarre, never saw anything like it before. Keep it indoors in an east window. Any idea?
Hi there, yes aloe plants can often get tip die back on their leaves especially their lower leaves, if its happening to the new leaves from the top it can be due to the aloe not getting enough water or too much direct light, but if your aloe looks healthy in every other way then I wouldn't worry as its common for some aloes to have their leaves shrivel from the tips, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic new week XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thank you, yes it looks very healthy otherwise and I checked the roots and they look great. So I guess it's just sort of normal. Huh! Thanks for your response!
