If I re-pot my Aloe Vera what a e my chances of doing it successfully?

Answer 1

Use cactus soil (get it at L&G center--Shultz makes a good one) a slightly larger pot, and do not fertilize for a month or two. You can use Plant Starter by Ortho or Root'n'Grow by Bonide to help get it through the root shock of being repotted.

Answer 2

I do it all the time, especially when the plant crowds itself in a pot.

Here in FL I have dozens of Aloe plants, and they do well in pots, in soil, indoors and out.

In a potted situation, I roll the pot, gently separating the various plant individuals,,,IE: mature and new shoots, then repot as many as I want again, to begin as individuals. I use a decent soil mix, though they do well in sandy soil too, as long as they have adequate drainage, moderate sunlight, and regular, but not over the top watering.

As a Succulent, they need more water, but store it as well, and mine go on their own, outdoors at least, with NATURE. In pots, I check the dryness of the soil and might water once a week.

You'll know if they get too much or too little of any care.

All plant life is subject to levels of "shock" Aloe handles it pretty well, and with any,,,keeping the roots moist and with no air pockets, is key.
