It was time for an upgrade ⬆️ This aloe has been dropped more times than a basketball during march madness 😆 I’ve had this plant for over 6 years. It probably hasn’t grown because of all the trauma it’s been through. BUT I thought it was time to repot it. I put it in a similar size container because growth isn’t the issue, it’s stabilization. The terracotta pot is more stable and I put a bamboo stick to keep it upright. It should be more sturdy in no time. For soil, I mixed acidic, well draining soil with soil from its original container. #aloe #aloevera #succulents #plantfactsfriday #fridayfacts #dancereels #plantreels #plantdaddy #plantdad #plantcareisselfcare #plantcare #planttips #jungle #backon74 #terracotta #plantdecor #plantas #plantsmakepeoplehappy

I’m so glad I caught this root rot early 😮‍💨 Last week I took a poll to confirm if what I was seeing was signs of root rot and it was an overwhelming 85% that it was. I figured it was because new growth was turning black and the soil was compact. The thing about getting plants from some nurseries is that they pack the soil very tight with soil and peat moss that doesn’t drain well to keep it moist during its travel from the nursery to the plant shop. Signs of root rot are: -new leaves turning black -leaves turning yellow and/or soft -overwatering -roots are black and squishy -(and worst of all) a smell of rooting. The smell is very obvious 🤢 #plantdad #plantpapa #plantdaddy #planttips #plantcare #rootrot ##monstera #monsterathaiconstellation #plantreels #plantcommunity #plantgang #dance #plantpapi #plantas #rareplants #repotting #fridayvibes #plantparenthood #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Anyone have that one “special” plant that’s unkillable 😂 I’ve dropped this plant so many times and it’s still kicking. I know what you’re thinking, “why don’t you change the pot?” Well, this was one of my first propagated plants and my first scored wine glass. It’s sentimental 🥰 #plantdaddy #aloevera #propagation #propagationstation #plantreels #plantcare #funnyvideos #whoops #plantlife #plantsofsteel #plantstagram #plantmedicine #aloeplant
