Caring for the Aloe Vera Plant

We have known some of the helpful healing properties that the Aloe vera plant has as far back as ancient Egypt times. Both Cleopatra and Nefertiti greatly valued the nourishing juice and used it as a part of their daily skin and beauty care. Now a days we use it's gel topically for psoriasis, sunburns, dry cracked winter skin and frostbite. It can also be used to stop the itching associated with bug bites and because of its antibacterial properties it is a good deterrent to acne. Be sure to watch the entire video to learn all about the plant and how to effectively care for it!

    i like that you have other plants on the table, as well. I noticed the lemon tree, and now I'm going to search after watching this video to see what you have to share about that!

    Awesome video. I think aloe Vera is one of the most rewarding plants to grow, they grow so fast and is always giving me offsets to pot up... Happy growing!

    Great video, Justin. I loved the beautiful black cat (I had 3), and your lovely Min-Pin at the end. I lost my Min-Pin, Sadie, at the end of 2018, so it was a nice surprise to see yours. Thanks!

    I live in Texas. Thought I lost my Aloe during that crazy snow storm in February because I forgot to bring it in when it got down to 30°F. Oops. But once weather warmed up I noticed it slowly getting green again. Now ( July 2021) its reaching for the sky! My leaves ( some) are 2ft or more tall. My only question is im letting it dry out a lot. Water sparingly and I have one leaf that looks a little yellow. Should I water it more thoroughly next time? I don't want it to die, tho its proven its resiliency surviving snowmageddon ( lol)

    I have a beautiful hedgehog aloe that actually blooms flowers for me but I recently had my first infestation of mealy bugs :( They are gone but now most of the lower leaves are rubberlike and brown tips on them. However, this was not due to the bugs. I only had a random one on there so they did not suck the juice from these leaves. The lower stem just above the soil though is tan-brown so I worry that there is something wrong. Should I chop the stem and restart the plant or is there a reason for the leaves doing this? The new growth is more beautiful than ever but the shrunken and rubber-like leaves are really worrying me. HELP!

    My aloes were doing so well in the same pot and I thought they were kind of choking each other so I split them up with a mix of soil. Now they both have a whitish fungus/mold. I scraped off the top layer and sprayed lightly with a mixture of water and peroxide and just a smidge of cinnamon. Any other suggestions or idea as to what could’ve cause the mold? They really were doing great!

    I’m straight struggling with my aloe. She was doing fine where I had her (or so I thought) and then I noticed her bottom leaves where turning brown and getting squishy.. I have no idea what’s her deal! 😩💔

    I noticed you said that they can stand in direct sunlight. is that true? every source I've checked says something different. I'm looking for a plant to have on my windowsill with gets about 4-6 hours of direct sunlight. I read somewhere that aloes can stand in direct hot sulight.

    Thank you for all the great information!I didn't understand the part at the end about PH balance. How do I monitor and alter the PH? Also, was that sand on top or the nat nix (spelling) bug killer product you were talking about? Do I need the anti-nat product if I don't plan on taking my plant outside?
