_Posted by Sam on 2025-05-13_

just a quick question for my peeps with aloe vera:) i harvest the leaves for aloe and now fear that she may be getting a little top heavy without her lower leaves. the next time i repot her, should i bury her deeper? or would that make her rot?

I would say yes to repotting her deeper. I just had to do that with my largest plant. No rot so far.

I don’t think you want this, but I had an Aloe stack and stack and finally fall over, and then the chain took over an entire HUGE terrarium. This was also years ago when I did absolutely nothing but occasionally water my plants (I wasn’t a plant head, the terrarium had no drainage, etc.) They’re so hardy.

i think i’ve seen those, looks like a good option for whenever my aloe cannot be buried any deeper
