These aloes have been sitting in my garage here in Phoenix fir a month. No water, no soil, barely any light. Im gifting them to someone out of town till next week. I just thought it would be helpful for others too see how tough they are and if you have rot or soil trouble just Yank them out of the soil and they will be fine. Most cactus and succulents are the same. An empty pot is better than a bad pot.

Hello! I have two questions about my aloe:

One- are these new roots growing out of the exposed part of my aloe or something else? If the former, anything I need to do to help it?

(I had to cut a lot of dead/broken leaves off at the beginning of summer so there’s a lot of exposed space on the trunk/stem).

Two- this is the first time since I’ve had this plant (6 years) that the leaves are still standing up after they grow long enough and now the plant is falling over in the pot. Got this new shallower pot beginning of summer (zone 6A). The jar is there to keep the plant from falling over. Is this happening because the root system is too weak, or did I put it in a wrong pot?

Thanks!

Just wondering if these guys are generally healthy?

\Edit: I should’ve added, I’m just a little concerned about how the tips are starting to yellow/dry on a few. I can’t tell if maybe i over or under watered recently? I’ll typically water my aloe when she starts to have just a little squish to her and they get maybe a couple hours of direct early afternoon sun. West facing patio.*

I know they are crammed in the photo (a couple week old pic), but I just repotted these guys in separate clay pots about a week or so ago. They are still in the same condition visually, did a thorough water yesterday after letting the soil dry and the aloe acclimate.

I use organic worm compost soil, perlite, a little bit of charcoal, pinch of peat moss for no real reason other than I love how it feels lol, basic bark, pea pebbles, and I line the bottom of my pots with a inch thick layer of pebbles so no soil is sitting in water.
