Propagating Aloe Vera
Hi,
I have just recently planted offshoots from my larger Aloe plant. It has been 3 days. They have lost their rich green colour and are turning a slight brown tinge. There are two that I have left inside that are looking fine, but the ones I have left ourside are not looking well at all. Does anyone have experience with this, and could you please supply the method, to double check against what I did. Thanks in advance, anthony |

My little ones aren't looking any better, i've brought them inside, for fear
too much sun may have fried them. Do you have any tips for restoring their lush green colours when and if they fade? Is there anything I may have done wrong that you can think of. I am just brainstorming, could it be a fungul root infection or something beneath the surface? Like I said, the two I kept inside from the word go, are looking fine. Would you like a foto of one of the sick ones? I could organise that also.

Is there anything I may have done wrong that you can think of. Aloe are tough. What I've noticed is: if they are sheltered from the worst of the sun then they'll be green all over. If in full sun, then both aloe and candleabra will develop an orange border to their leaves. I'd reckon if you were to move your aloe so they can escape direct afternoon sun they'd revert to green all over with time. I wonder could you treat their sunburnt leaves with aloe gel? :-) -- John Savage (news address invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) |

Hi and Thanks for your advice.
I have been experimenting with different positions around the house. After placing them back outside, they changed colour again and so I brought them back inside just before the rain started, and within a couple of days their colour has returned. Shade from the afternoon sun.... I'll see if I can find a position around the house that will allow that. Thanks again. Oh, and I'l try the sunburn treatment also.
