My Aloe Vera is dying!!???
Comments (6)If your aloe does not recover, keep in mind you can return it at Walmart. Walmart's practice is to NOT water any of their perennials. The store is reimbursed for plants that die, so it loses no money, but it takes money to pay an employee to water, so plants purchased there are often in irreversible shape, but I have "rescued" some from there. Good luck!...See Moretwo aloe vera questions
Comments (1)There are hundreds of Aloe species, and many more cultivars and unnamed hybrids. There can also be some variability within a species. Pictures would help, but even then IDs may be elusive. Most Aloe veras I know of have yellow, or sometimes orange flowers. The patch growing near at the old property may have been another species, such as arborescens....See Moreneed help to identify this Aloe plant; Aloe Vera???
Comments (14)Certainly not here to dispute the name of the Lowes plant. I bought a couple of the same plants, chuckling to myself that ALL of the aloes were labeled Aloe vera. Mine are PIG, growing well and curiously have lost their spots. You can see some of the spots remain on the bottom, oldest leaves. So I'm pondering the label again. Of course it hasn't flowered yet (about 3 years old), which will add to the info. I guess I wonder if Aloe vera pups start with spots. I have no pups to compare. My plant does not look like the OP's first plants. This post was edited by Crenda on Thu, Aug 7, 14 at 10:23...See MoreWonky dying aloe vera!
Comments (3)Thanks for the reply. I've just repotted it and the roots are about half way down I reckon. They were quite long and fiddly so I had to move them about! It was originally in cactus soil and I have just repotted it into cactus soil again. Here is another pic...See MoreRoxette Rose
