RE: Gardening Hacks : Basic Tips in Growing Cacti Indoors
great stuff
I'm having problems with growing aloe, i think croc jaws is the name .they grow really well then over night after a couple of months they just full over and die off.
any tips
@jahtech I bought one that's already two years old. It was still weak as you can see on the picture it was tiny when I bought it but it has grown beautifully. Buy one that's already two years old, unless it is - it could eventually die. Matured croc jaws have a better possibility to grow than very young ones. Never over water. cacti are easy maintenance but tell me how did you take care of it?
Nothing after the first one died .learnt not to water .the second one was in perfect health then walked into the room the next day and it had fallen over .the stem close to the soil had turned a very lighter color .can you tell the health of the plant by the color shade? Also i see yours are in a sand type soil, mine are in the store potting mix .i love the architectural structure of the plant
I see, the soil is important - and yes, I wrote it up there that too much sun could cause making the plant look pale and that means they're unhealthy. everything needs balance the 1st week I got mine, it also turned a bit pale cause I put it way far from the window it lacked sunlight -everything needs balance. Try again my friend, if you really like that one, it could grow really huge though. If you buy another one get one that's 2 years old already - bigger chances it'll survive. Good luck
