Thanks Greg warm fuzzies always welcome
Tee, I also have one little aloe vera, so far it is struggling too, but much better than what happened to my aloinopsis. Since it is a fairly small aloe, it is in a very small container, and I have placed it backed into a cement slab for some added warmth. But it is struggling, won't open its leaves, very tightly shut, compared to my crassulas that have their leaves wide open and plump during this chilly weather. If this Aloe survives, I will keep it in indoors next time.
Bev, I feel your pain when they go mushy..can you still uproot them and put them in smaller containers maybe, and add some perlite or I also use kanuma soil to mix with my succulents media to make it more fast draining. During the late part of November when rains & winds have been coming some succulent containers of mine got toppled over, so I had to do a quick repot and it came as a blessing in disguise of sorts, had to loosen up the soil, allowed more air to dry them up and repositioned the container in a sunnier side. The plants are thriving much better now in the cold
