# Okay so potting two different aloes together might not be a wise…

_Posted by Aimee loves plants on 2026-09-26_

Okay so potting two different aloes together might not be a wise choice. Lesson learned after trying it yesterday 🤦🏻‍♀️ I brought my two aloes inside yesterday from the patio and repotted them together. They almost ripped each other to pieces. And then I separated them. Now here they are, my aloe. They look like scary monsters now. Any suggestions on how I can get them to bounce back?

Time and bright light while being careful not to over water. It’s far better to under water than over water them. Some of my most beautiful succulents really started thriving after they recovered from damage, so keep at it and don’t get discouraged!

I would reset the aloe plants. And start again. There are great videos on YouTube. Basically you just keep the top. You pull off the lower leaves. Leave about 2 inches of steam then pop the steam straight into the dirt. Some people let it callus over night. I just stuck it into the dirt and didn’t water for a few days. Here in Allie now.
