I had some aloe growing in my backyard but I really don't know how to take care of them all I've been doing is water them but I haven't seen any changes in growth lately. Do you know what could be the cause? I've seen aloes grow so big but mine hasn't or are they of different species?
Hi @teknon,
There are a variety of different aloe species but I think most of them do get pretty large. Does it get a lot of sun where it's planted? Is the color vibrant green or more of a pale grey color?
It's easy to overwater aloes, especially if they aren't getting enough light, overwatering could be a reason it's not getting larger, or not enough sun, or maybe both.
Do you have a picture?
Yes it does!
Think I'll pay more attention to these two factors.
This is what it looks like compared to what I found on the net👇
Mine has been like that for close to a year now without the Leaves or whatever it's called getting bigger than you see there plus the image is even making it look as if it's big in reality they're all short with small leaves.
It looks very healthy!
My guess is it probably needs a bigger pot. It looks like the same type I have and I don't think it would look so vibrant if it was lacking sun or water, it doesn't look overwatered either.
You're doing a great job caring for it!
Thanks for sharing the photos, maybe try repotting it.
Let me know how you progress with it :)
Really? Thought I wasn't doing any good. Thank you I really appreciate 😊.
They're planted directly in earth.
Sure, I will🥰
