Hey Gene!
I know it is sort of negative to have problems hahaha. But for my sake I keep track so I know what not to do in the future! I do keep track of when they bloom though, that is my favorite part. And that is a great idea! I will have to keep track of growth. I know my aloe has quadrupled in size since I bought it!
I have many ID posts already in the ID forum if you would like to check them out and make some suggestions. Thank you! (:
