This Aloe is in a pot buried in the ground and gets removed to the greenhouse during the winter. On the very few ocassions it's been watered I use rainwater. Over the years it's turned from healthy green to scorched brown as if dieing. Any idea what the problem could be ?

Hi All Those of you with A. Striatula...do you find like me that they have a very sprawling, leggy habit. I have a large specimen in my front garden where the branches run at ground level and then curve upwards- each branch being around 1.2 metres. This means that the centre of the plant is pretty b...

Oh dear,looks like all my striatula's have had it this year,all totally blackened mush.

I have a few cuttings that were taken last year for a fall back situation,but the parent plants came through lower temps last year ok.

I picked up one of these from a garden centre on Monday, just out of random want. Having researched this, many sources, (Dave's Garden, independent succulent websites, etc), suggest it is frost hardy to -6C, and if kept dry potential hardier lower than this. I wondered if any members have had any ex...

... and helpful owner. Prices did not seem unreasonable. Came away with a Parajubea torallyi, nearly 180cm tall excluding the pot, and also an aloe polyphylla (I already have a largish one but I want to try one outside and don't want to risk the one I have) http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/index.ph ...

Hello, I'm looking at getting hold of some aloes for trialing in the garden. Last winter I managed to get Aloe Brevifolia, Aloe Broomii and Aloe Aristata through (covered) and that old favourite Alow Striatula came through exposed to the elements.....though it does have a nasty ...

Despite being heavily neglected and then seriously abused by disrespectful builders, my Aloe Plicatilis is about to flower again. It spends the summer outside and comes in for the winter. It's not looking great this year but I'm hoping it will quickly outgrow the damaged ...

Hi all, I have a Soap Aloe - Aloe maculata - planted out, but under a rain shelter. If any HTUK members have any experience of A.maculata either surviving or turning to mush, I'd love to know. Its provenance is good though - I bagged ...

Thought I would share some pictures of a very large group of naturalised Aloe arborescens in our local village in Portugal. I loved the way they were growing through the old wooden posts and using the structure for support. The aloe's are situated on the roadside ...

... on earlier this year. Its now too big for the heated glasshouse and will have to overwinter under rain shelters close to the house. Great tree aloe but will it expire with the cold? Anybody had any one of these whoppers ? Worthing is mild compared to some parts of the UK. Should I keep it Dry ...

I bought this Aloe as striatula - but it's not - I've been told it's Aloe ciliaris (the climbing aloe). It's not exactly climbing, I think I must have one that's scared of heights, so it lies down and creeps along the floor instead.
Quite pretty flowers though: Pete

Some of you on here may remember my Aloe plicatilis flowered last year and I managed to harvest some seeds from it. A few have germinated (about 10) and are about 1cm tall now. Any idea what I do with them over winter? They have 2 choices, ...
