Hi, Need a id on this guy (sort of Aloe?) came from a friend who doesn't know the name. And some caring tips. Thanks

Wow that is lovely Fiat, don't know what it is but love it!!! It does look to be an aloe, so I'd treat it how you are your other aloes!

It's a very prolific aloe. I'll have to look up the name.

I do not have any new plants to post but was downloading some of the pics I took this summer and this is one of my hardy Optunia Cactus that had not bloomed since I moved it to my new house 4 yrs ago. It is in a lot of shade.

It is so pretty I will move it to the sun next summer. It is below zero out there and I am not in the mood to garden outside in the cold. Soon it will be under a couple feet of snow.

Lovely plant Fiat..not sure but it may be one of those tree aloes. ...Aloe barberae..Aloe hercules..

Lovely pic Cinta..yes it will need full sun to make buds and bloom.

Some pics of my new pachycaul trees I got in the mail today.

Bursera microphylla



Pachycormus discolor var. veatchiana




Senna meridionalis

Looks great Adam!

Maybe better placed in the "Blooming Succulents" thread, but this thread currently seems to have more people watching it (I know, there are not many succulents blooming this time of year).

Aloe hybrid 'Grassy Lassie'


As soon as the bloom stalk finished and died on my Aloe hybrid 'Lizard Lips' (I did post a picture of it in bloom on the "Blooming Succulents" thread, I think back near the beginning of October), it's forming another one!

Very happy Aloes Planto!

Speaking of happy Aloes, I took an updated picture of an 'Aloe Vera' that I purchased on clearance 10/2/14. About 75% of its roots were rotted and I wasn't sure if it was going to survive after I root trimmed it and repotted it, but here it is today!


Here it is 10/17/14. I suspected it was going to lose three leaves, as they had flopped over, but two have "healed" themselves and are sitting erect again.

Good save Planto!

Tarev,

Who else here likes pachypodiums?

Great job Planto. It makes you feel good when you can bring a plant back to life.

Used to have one pachy Adam...lost it during overwintering last year.

Cinta,
Almost as nice is finding it on clearance for $2.

Planto

I do!!

Adam, I tried some seeds but was not successful. Maybe a good thing. I got no where to put them come winter.
