- Of all the plants in the garden, the aloe vera is the one I paid the least attention to. And surprisingly it is now the biggest and most thriving one too.
How did that happen?
It goes to show that an aloe really can thrive in a very minimal set up. Our mistake is showering it with too much love - of water and constant fertilizer feed. They are happy with much less.
Watch on this video to find out how I cared for this massive aloe vera plant. And a little bonus at the end, of how I use my aloe vera at home on a daily basis.
Enjoy!

Thank you, very informative, I’ve learned a lot 🌱
Wow I was about to turn off my pone then this pop.
Have several healthy aloe vera and more not so healthy...
Saving to watch tom as I'm too sleepy.
Goodnight and God bless.
Have a good day today and take care. May your garden grow lush and green! Have you watched the mung beans video that's my latest and i am soooo intrigued by it. I had grown 3 batches of mung bean sprouts just this week :)
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday good morning.
Not sure what mung bean is. Will check it out later. Thanks.
Aloe Vera is a very useful plant for human health.

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for visiting. 🌱
The information for use is good
Thank you. Yes having it frozen is very convenient for daily use
I'm at stage of meant to repot but she flowered twice. I've now repotted removed lower sems straightened turned as ihad to tie last flower down As was so tall lol a d she developed a lean. But after watching this I could remove some of her root ball as just slightly softened it put it bk in she pot but it's no lower so now looks like has,a trunk 😅
Can you cover your aloes with rocks and can still grow pups?nice video❤
Yes i still have pups coming out from the soil but that's because my rocks are a bit big and there are gaps.
Hi there! I followed your advice and took the bottom most aloe leaves off, but now the steam part is very long and no longer fits in the pot. Have you had this problem? I hope my explanation makes sense haha, I can take a photo and show you if that is easier. Thank you🙂
Hi do you mean the core middle leaves are growing really tall? Aloes do grow very big :) . With the bottom leaves removed..the existing leaves on the plant should continue to open up whilst the middle/core continues to grow new leaf. If the plant is very big you may hve to help support the plant so it wjll stand upright..
I have the same issue. The stem (root) and leaves altogether are too tall to stand up in my pot even after trimming of the bottom 4 stems. I'm wondering if I can trim the very bottom of the root off without killing it?
I recommend you @ The Aloe Vera Garden page which is very informative
@@catchapman6157 hey check out The AloeVera Garden page you will get all solutions
My aloes have been neglected for years. One has dozens of babies and the other is growing like a vine with the trunk extending out of the pot about 10 inches before there are any leaves. The babies I can repot but I don’t know what to do with the one with the extended trunk. Beyond the bare trunk of 10 inches or more it’s healthy. Can the trunk be cut within the 10 inches and replanted? I’m assuming the bare cut trunk left with the root will start to grow again. It’s the top I cut off without the root I worry about.
Wow ! Your aloe Vera have a lot of leaves
How do you grow it?
hi! love your channel... all this ideas on using the aloe! i definitely need some ideas! :) They grow very well here due to the constant sun exposure :)
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday hello. What grow lamp would you recommend? I live in Upstate New York so my plants are inside now now.
Torturous music :)
oh.. sorry about that...you can turn off the sound?
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday oh
I needed this! Mine currently has a huge long root and it's falling over. I have no clue what to do with it and there are a ton of baby aloes growing all around it! Should I replant the baby plants into other pots ?
Yes they do grow babies from roots. Gently move them out to new pots if you plan to keep them and start new plants. For the big ones they do need support to stand upright. Usually i will remove the bottom blades and keep the center ones to continue growing
Hi,My niece poke my aloe vera plant each leaves have a hole its a very large aloe plant i been growing it for a long time.now it have a hole in the middle of each one.Can it be save?what can i do to it?Thanks
Oh dear but to be honest I have not encountered a situation like that! But i recalled seeing some aloes before with scratch and cuts instead of holes...and I think the surface just dries up. It will probably just be cosmetically challenged...should not cause any issues to the plant i hope... Fingers crossed!
Nice music going with this educative video
Glad you like it. Thank you
May I ask how you use your aloe in your drinks please? Thank you :)
Hi! For juices..what I had done previously was first clean them out.. (ensure u soak and wash off all the slime first)..dice them into small cubes then add them into drinks. But however from experience some ppl may not like the aloe rawness ..so alternatively..you may want precook/boil the aloe. It will be less raw and more palatable to add into smoothies or drinks or yoghurt :)
Thank you for this great informational video. I was about to throw mine away.
Glad it was helpful! If there are no rotting at the roots, it's still ok.. Just ensure they do not get too much water but lots of sun. Good luck!
If you were going to fertilize it what is something safe you can use if you want to use the aloe orally?
I use humus fertilizer for all my leafy greens including vegetables. They are organic. I suppose any other organic fertilizer options are ok too ya. Compost would be great too
Hello, how often do you trim your aloe vera?
Hi there! I don't have a trim schedule but when I see the blades stretch or if i need to keep the blades away from other plants I will trim. Usually i will pull off the bottom blades first and let the core to open up. Over time you may also see babies growing out from the mother plant roots..if you want to keep those then pick them out and pot them. :) honestly I neglect my Aloe a lot
I have an aloe vera plant and I really neglected it and oberwatered it and now it is over 4ft tall and I can't get close to it :(
OH be careful! they are very sharp.. i get cuts and scratches each time dealing with aloes
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday transported it to a bigger area and got cuts and scratches on my hands lol I guess I deserved it for neglecting them
@@aminuddin1485 at least they are quite fuss free and doesn't disturb you for the rest of the year :)
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday yeah the good thing is they don't require much water like I could water them at least once 3 weeks and remain neutral throughout the year
@@aminuddin1485 LOL
👏🏽🇨🇴🇦🇺
Music slaps
Your aloevera looks so big...can tell me which varieties aloe vera is this????
hi! it is big... and it's getting hard to handle actually. My father gave it to me when it was just a small pup so I don't know which variety this is. The blades are thick and fat, and there are no spots or markings on the leaves. I read that the aloes without spots are generally categorized as the edible type of aloes..
My aloe plant has black spot ,what can I do
Hi!! Am not sure what it could be but just my guess either its some rot, rust or fungal matter. Anyhow do check if the plant roots are okay.. n tht your soil shld be as dry as possible. If plant roots are ok the plant shld be alright :) but remove all the affected blades (those with the blacks) cut down watering on leaves and ensure plant gets good sun and air ventilation.
Good info, but could barely endure the music
I agree
What type of alovera barbadensis is this?
hello there. i am sorry i dont know what type or variety this is. This aloe has been given to me by my parents and I totally have no idea where they got them from :)
I would like to place an order.
Thanks for your attention
Hi. Sorry i don't have a plant to sell :)
Do you sell pups, to send in luzon area. Thank you
Hi. No unfortunately i am not selling plants. I would love to one day! :)
Do pups ever pop out? You should let them grow, without the stones above the soil
Yes typically pups will grow out from below. In this case it doesn't as I like this plant to be a feature plant. Others are sprouting pups :)
Mera aelovera plant grow nhn krha plzzz any suggestion
hi! Can you share what happened to you aloe vera plant?
Poor plant! 🤦🏼♀️
