# Hello! Can anyone tell me how old this Aleo Vera is or the type?? It…

_Publié par Seabee le 2024-06-26_

Hello! Can anyone tell me how old this Aleo Vera is or the type?? It was given to me a few months ago from an older woman. When it was given to me it had about 15 plants growing around it in a very small pot (I’m surprised it grew this big with how overcrowded and small the pot was). I would just like to keep track of watering for it and give it the proper love. I’d also like to know if there is any way I can help it stand up straight as it seems to have a big bend in it from how overgrown it was in the little pot.

TIA☺️

i think that is the edible kind of aloe - the lack of white spots, and the thickness of the leaves makes me think its 'Aloe vera barbadensis Miller'!  
i think if you want to support the lean you can either chop and prop, or use a small stake or something and lightly tie the plant to it :)
