NW Okie's Journey

Last Friday before the rain began we went to a garage sale and spotted this blooming aloe vera plant in a Houston, Texas neighborhood. I have never seen an aloe vera bloom before. The gentlemen who had it growing in his yard told us it was an aloe vera plant.

Did you know that Aloe vera plants are built for the desert climate of Africa, where they receive large amounts of direct sunlight for a majority of the day. This large dose of bright light that Aloe Vera are accustomed to does not translate smoothly to a household setting, where the location of the house and the plant may limit the amount of sunlight that reaches the plant. Giving your houseplant as much light as possible is key.

You may be expecting too much from your newborn aloe vera plant. Aloe Vera tend to bloom only once they have reached maturity - a stage in their life that takes approximately 4 years to reach. If you have just begun caring for your aloe plant, it is simply not ready. Have patience, and while you are waiting, take proper care of your aloe vera by giving it the sunlight, water, and soil it needs to reach old age and bloom. The Aloe Vera plants do not have flowers year round, though. They usually bloom annually in early springtime.

A healthy Aloe Vera plant is more likely to produce the bright flowers you are looking for if you give it the soil that can provide it with adequate nutrients.

You also need to separate your Aloe Vera bulbs. To encourage aloe Vera plants to bloom is by propagating them. The aloe vera plant has bulbs that grow off of the main plant. You can and should remove them if you want a flowering aloe vera. By taking away the additional bulbs, you give the main plant more energy to put into producing those tall, beautiful flowers.

Good Night! Good Luck!
