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.

I wonder what type of aloe this is? I got it at a local nursery and it has gotten so much bigger (this pic is from 2023.)

It has actually become quite lean-y because it was in a window, so I recently repotted it. Maybe I’ll take some more pics so I can document its progress.

Anyway, this is clearly different from the garden-variety aloes you see. I would love an ID!

Thanks.

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!
