April 28, 2021Q.Aloe Base Extremely Long.
We are planning to prune the roots and repot this aloe with some supports, but the base has gotten so long and the plant is too heavy. She’s a monster. Can we peel the leaves off of the base and let let the base heal/callous when we prune the roots? If we can bury more of the base of the plant in new soil I think we will have a better chance of straightening her out. I do not want to risk rotting out our Big Momma.

Certified ExpertA.I wouldn't bury more of the base. Here are some common reasons an aloe flops over. I wonder if it's not getting enough sun.

Certified ExpertA.Use the same container, but refresh the soil. After removing it from the pot, hold it up straight in the center of the container. If the rootball needs to be pruned, go ahead and do so. Then let the roots dry out a day or two before finishing. Then hold it straight in the container and fill in with the soil. Keep it at the same level it was previously. Covering more of the plant with soil can lead to rot.

Certified ExpertA.Don't do anything till after it blooms. Once the petals have dropped, you can remove the flower stalk and the new rosette should be easy to remove from the stem and start in its own container of gritty soil.

June 24, 2021Q.Aloe Plant Blooming?
Yesterday I noticed my aloe plant is growing something new in the pot! My research found The flower of the aloe vera plant typically blooms once in the summer, but only on mature plants in sunny locations. An aloe vera plant's flowers are yellow, blooming on racemes on stalks that grow as high as 3 feet tall. I never knew aloe flowered! It’s alongside the plant like a mushroom. If this is not a flower do you suggest I toss the plant? Tell me something quick - it’s kinda creepy! Pic 1 yesterday Pic 2 today Whatever it is It’s growing rapidly!

Certified ExpertA.It is probably a flower, which is a rare treat for an owner of Aloe. I cannot confirm that, since your photos did not come through. It is up to you, what you want to do with it.
