Willow gave me this, it fell victim to falling off the washing machine. Will it die in an unheated greenhouse ?
Hmm doubt it Zigs as looks like an Aloe Vera to me. You could try lots of bubble wrap so the pot is well insulated to but I had mine wrapped in fleece but the frost had them. No harm in trying I suppose..xx
@Marley Farley @Zigs It is an Aloe Vera plant all mine are indoors on windowsills - did once try to overwinter one in greenhouse as experiment and lack of space but sadly it expired i think it was maybe due to the excessive damp They are, quite sought after now as they have amazing healing benefits ...frankly I can say myself family and friends no longer buy any other over the counter antiseptic product/creams as this little plant caters to all needs both human or animal great plant to propagate and very easy as it sends up little babies from the parent plants surrounding soil and to turn a few pennies over with Zigs ,so one to keep
nursery there Zigs just a few to nurture I must confess I was never drawn to Cati .....but your babies and plant photos have definitely converted me - they always look so lush and healthy too
Aloe Vera is definitely a good windowsill plant and excellent for burns and other problems. Mrs Shiney always includes it when she's giving talks on healing plants.
Only had Owcho up until this spring Most of those are cuttings from a few I found in a skip Just received these from a Russian friend on another forum
ooh various cactus seeds! How long does a cactus take to grow? That looks brilliant! Re Aloe Vera, I managed to keep two successful ones for a couple of years! They don't like a huge amount of water and I kept them in pots as houseplants, on a windowsill. Too much direct sun and they go slightly red, but are fairly easy to keep in a warmer area. Hope that helps!
Not grown em from seed yet, last lot didn't come up The aloe will only get a few hours of sun thru one of the shoot the German holes in the pill box
Whilst I was away recently I took a couple of photos of Owcho's relations so I'll try and find them and post them. Owcho might like to see them.
