Why do you find Aloe Vera frustrating? I mean, it grows quickly and requires very little maintenance. I suppose that could be seen as "frustrating" in the sense that it needs to be divided or thinned out regularly.
- hinkley 2y agoTypical problem with aloe is overwatering. And modern potting soil often is loaded with sphagnum, which stays wet too long, and then when it dries it becomes hydrophobic so watering the plant doesn’t wet the entire soil.
- johnisgood 2y agoI agree. I do not water them and they grow crazy!
- hinkley 2y agoOnly water when the feeling of guilt at not watering them is overwhelming.
- johnisgood 2y agoPretty much. :)
- b112 2y agoI water weekly, and even in the winter leave for 4 months! I overwater before going, and when I come back sone of it is mildly brown. A week later with water replenishment, it's almost all green again. Makes sense for a desert plant.
