Beginner Gardening: Aloe Vera Replant Problem, 0 by Lorra

It is the soil. I use 1/3 sand, 1/3 garden soil and 1/3 potting soil. Mine pout every time I move them out in spring (to partial sun) and back in the fall (to south windows). Turn sorta greyish. But they get over it. Have been growing them for 25 years and have had blooms two times.

Just remember that they are native to Arizona, i.e. a cactus. About the only way to kill them is by drowning. My original plant wintered over inside a rolltop desk one time (I forgot it) and took right off when she hit the dirt. I now keep the big droopers that come off in the fall in a paper grocery sack to give out as starts, or when someone gets a severe burn.
