About Candelabra Aloe
Many people are familiar with Aloe vera, but this genus of plants contains tons of other beautiful succulent plants that come in all sorts of colors! Their succulent leaves evolved to store water in dry climates, which makes them a perfect fit if you're a busy plant parent. With great care (and a lot of sunlight) you may even see your Aloe bloom! Their flowers grow out of a large spike and can be shades of red, orange, and yellow. 🔥

How to fertilize Candelabra Aloe
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Candelabra Aloe after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Hello! Found this, what do I do 👀 🌱 Hello! I found this plant literally on the ground near the tram station lol. It's a fresh cut and its end is still moist! I believe someone lost a part of its plant while on their way. What should I do in order to successfully plant it? What are my next steps? Thank you 🥰 #aloe #freeplant #pot #newplant

Help! Sudden yellowing leaves :( Hi! I found this plant by the road about 3 months ago. I potted it in cactus soil mixed with perlite, sand and some rocks, and it has been doing great so far. In the last 2-3 days I noticed that the end of the leaves turned yellow! It shouldn't be overwatering as I water it only when the soil is dry, checking it with my finger. Any suggestions? #CandelabraAloe

My aloe in teraccota pot suddenly started to get these spots. I survived the last good looking stems by cutting it and growing new roots in water. Now I plan to pot it again in soil. But still want to understand the brown spots!? #CandelabraAloe

What can I do with these? I had to repot Liberace and he had so many babies. It was extremely difficult to try and separate them with roots attached. Can I let them callous over and them try to root in water.? Or would it be better to just put them directly into soil and hope for the best. #aloevera #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #propagationstation #succulentsquad #succulentlove
