Aloe Vera
 

Quick question, too much watering of an Aloe Vera plant is not good for it?

If yes my wife is in trouble, if no then i have a sick aloe vera

My aloe vera is neglected and "loving it" (maxwell smart saying)
Its big and in the hottest part of my soon to be desert.
Water restrictions are taking their toll. (Melbourne) (im going to smuggle
water in every few months)
Suggest if its sick, get a cutting from what appears live and hoperfully you
wont try to kill it with kindness.
Let it lie around for a few days for callusos(SIC) to form. Then put it in
soil. Its tougher than the local union meet.

I don't water mine much, but it gets a good soaking every firtnight or so. I
also keep mine in part shade, which seems to keep it green and lovely (also
flowers from time to time which is nice)

My mum always has hers in shade, and never waters it. It's great for that
difficult spot just under a gum tree, or planted at the side of the house.
Basically any trouble spot....brilliant plants!!

It's one of the best plants to talk to.
You just go into the garden, and say "ullo vera".

Sorry, couldn't resist!

(Used that line on a radio program a few years ago - you could hear the
groan for miles around)

Most definitely not good for it. Like all plants of a succulent nature
it needs to dry our well before rewatering.

If yes my wife is in trouble, if no then i have a sick aloe vera


Sounds like she's in trouble.

No doubt she was, but it sounds like the treatment of the aloe vera
has been the source of some domestic discord......

LMAO...my dad uses that line, oh, every other day. Must have listened to
your show. Or maybe great minds think alike. I blame it on excess
consumption of The Goons.

The Goons have a lot to answer for, as did the late Peter Evans (on
what-was 3LO) ... I listened to both. They were unique in their own way.

Old Goon Show line (sung to ... anybody know/remember the melody?). "I
talk to the trees ... that's why they put me away!"

Yes I'd say so. ABC is a family habit.

Yes, him too. He should have to listen to all my dad's jokes.
