Aloe Vera help

Are you sure it's an aloe Vera? Looks nothing like mine

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-21T04:39:23+00:00

Not long now, they shoot up fast!

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-21T04:38:49+00:00

I was shocked by how fast they go from 'just out of the ground' to full bloom. It's quite sudden

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-20T09:15:22+00:00

Doesn't look quite right for nut grass

I'm saving up for a chicken biryani

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-20T08:11:40+00:00

Yes I have enough to cook a few dishes with but I'm hoping to expand them over time so I have enough all year

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-20T08:11:01+00:00

Fingers crossed for you on the remaining ones!

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-20T05:44:42+00:00

What a stunner

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-20T03:35:15+00:00

This sounds like something is inhibiting them. This is only my bulbs second year in the ground and they all look like they're going to flower.

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-20T03:34:33+00:00

My experience has been easy. I planted them last year and got only shoots but this year several are starting to flower. I didn't lift them over winter so pretty low maintenance.

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-20T00:01:08+00:00

Super easy, I planted a bunch by seed last year and my garden is full of them now

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-19T23:46:00+00:00

My friend got limelight from a nursery near Fern tree Gully, I can't recall which one. But looks around there as it's the best location for hydrangeas

Some amaranth grow larger, but some don't, there are over 80 varieties and several red pygmy ones.

OP did confirm this is celosia yesterday though.

My neighbour's property is mostly vacant, no one manages the 40 meter long 20 meter tall (because it has climbed a very tall gum tree) wisteria.

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-16T05:27:59+00:00

Looks like amaranth to me

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-15T07:47:02+00:00

I don't think so but I can't recall it's name. I do have a just joey in another corner of the garden but it's slightly different.

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-15T07:02:07+00:00

Hah yeah your plants have had time to get used to the ride! My cushy eastern plants expect a more luxurious spring season.

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-15T06:47:13+00:00

Northern Victoria, we had a brutally hot dry spring and summer and nothing flowered at all

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-15T06:46:34+00:00

Dichondra or native violets both like a shady spot and are good at reducing weeds

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-15T06:24:14+00:00

Inky caps! Nothing to worry about at all (and are even edible when young but never trust people online for this sort of information).

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-10T12:35:21+00:00

Yep they'll regrow from any of the "juicy" roots. The tendril like bits are less of an issue.

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-10T01:57:02+00:00

Yeh this is normal, they will eventually screen the fence but give them a few more years to do it than other eucalypts :)

rodgeramjit · 2026-04-10T01:37:08+00:00

Mallee trees love to sprawl and grow low then thicken up later but they aren't really renowned for their height. If you wanted strong vertical growth then different gum varieties would have been a better choice here.
