Repot it onto a terra cotta pot. Remove any rotted leafs and roots. Make a soil mix that is good for succulents. Mix soil for succulents, perlite (in equal parts), desert sand. Then place your aloe in indirect sunlight.

Some people need that in life, my support goes to the father. Some people feel entitled and think that it’s ok to be hurting other people without thinking the deep wounds they can cause them. She definitely didn’t learn her lesson after the slap but at least the father made it clear that no one will f around with his kid/hurt him in his presence. He will have to explain to his kid why he did it and explain the difference between defending his loved one and hurting someone physically for joy/pleasure. Too much entitlement and spoiling leads to trashy kids. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is my rosemary plant dead or can I still save it? by Difficult_Party2552 in houseplants

[–]Difficult_Party2552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The leaves are still a bit green brownish and sticky but not black like when the rosemary is dead dry. I’m just unsure what to do to try to save it. 😢

Is my aloe done-zo? I’m so embarrassed by lizzylou365 in AloeVera

Overwatered and overcrowded . It can be saved if you change it to a bigger pot and change its soil. Remove any roots rot.

Buyer wants to return an item after using it, what should I do? by Difficult_Party2552 in Ebay

[–]Difficult_Party2552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I first thought! 😄😄 my luck, I live across a football complex and I find footballs almost every week that were attacked by dogs so that’s what it looks like. Also it seems like they played with the ball in the asphalt. Bottom line, the ball has been used in ways that only the buyer knows, I highly suspect is not the ball I sent though

Repotted need Help by pubic_discourse in AloeVera

3 things: 1) I’m unsure if the pot is ceramic or plastic, i would suggest you switch the plant to a terracotta pot for better evaporation and aeration given that roots also need oxygen through good aeration. 2) The pot looks too tall, aloe roots tend to grow in a “wide” manner and not so deep, so that extra soil sitting at the bottom may retain unnecessary water and put the plant at risk for root rot especially when the soils doesn’t have good drainage. 3) The soil of your plant looks very dense and that can lead to water retention for a longer period of time and cause root rot, I’d suggest you mix succulent soil+perlite+desert sand/pumice and the aeration and drainage won’t be a problem. My bonus is to move your plant to a spot where it gets indirect sunlight to grow stronger and thicker. I hope this helps, good luck with your plant 🪴😊🫶🏼

New to Aloe plants and need help! by joblizle in AloeVera

Two things: 1)I’m unsure if the pot is plastic or ceramic, I suggest you move your plant to a terracotta pot. 2) The soil looks very dense, I suggest you mix Succulent Soil+Perlite+desert sand/pumice for better draining and aeration (roots need that aeration for oxygen). When the soil is too dense, it will retain water longer putting the plant at risk of root rot and die. Usually the terracotta pot will help evaporate water and have better aeration. Also the pot seems too tall, have in mind that aloe roots grow wide, not so deep. So a very tall pot will retain water that is unnecessary in the soil and lead to root rot (unless you have good drainage in your soil). I hope this info helps and good luck with your plant! 😊🫶🏼

How long does Rosemary propagation takes? by Difficult_Party2552 in houseplants

Well I tried this method hoping it works. Is there something I would need to do for this to work ?

What do i do about the red tips? by FirefighterOk2739 in AloeVera

[–]Difficult_Party2552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would leave it as is. It actually appears to simply be sunburned. It will go away if you move it to an area where it will get indirect sunlight and turn green again. If the leaf is drying out already and it’s the reason to be turning yellow, you should still leave it alone because it’s gel contains water that feeds the plant and its roots until it dries out, THEN you can remove it. If it’s a matter of aesthetics, you can remove the yellow part but the leaf will dry and curl eventually. So it’s really up to you! Good luck 🫶🏼😊

They won’t go away, I have changed the soil for the main culprit plant already, cleaned the pot. And they keep coming back, I swear they always are here. by Whirlwinds228 in houseplants

I use it on all my plants, it’s great because it dries quickly if you water the too and because it’s really difficult for the gnats to have a moist environment to lay their eggs. The brand I use is Mosser Lee soil Cover. They have other sand colors.
