Looking good! Yeah... for sure it gets tough deciding which ones get the primo treatment when space runs tight. I go through this every spring

Your plants do look good!

Smith and VDB woke up first. I wont be surprised if they are my earliest fig. Last year it ripened 80 days after figlet formation which is early fig territory even before my mt etnas. My friend doesnt believe that my Smith is early and it needs a headstart to rippen

I grow aloe because when i was little i loved to eat aloe jelly in light syrup. Like the best candy ever. Then they stopped selling. So i decided to grow it. Turns out the aloe i got it is the aloe with orange flowers. Which is not recommanded for eating and is very agressive in growth habbits. I got the right ones who are thicker in general. Im trying to sell the other ones off for 5$. I have no space and they so big that they kept falling off whenever i put them and making a mess. I moved them back into the tents so they generate humidity. You can see the diffèrence between both varieties in picture 1 and 2 they on the front of the tent one has went mad and pushed copies between leaves and the other one is growing normally how a house aloe should. I damaged one leaf by accident when I flushed the pots and i had to reach with a vacuum to suck all the water from the water dishes.

Ah that makes sense. I did notice the insane amount of little ones in the pot lol. I couldn’t imagine that many copies, I’m about to separate one off my plant right now. The person doesn’t know it, but they are getting the baby with the large plant 😁

I tried to repot one i bough from someone like at one point aloe is just too tall and you can cut it down and stick the stum back into soil in shade and it should regrow roots. The orange flowering took it okay the other one with yellow flowers just has not been enjoying life. The other healthy ones i bough them at grocery store for 10$ they doing pretty well20260306_000810.jpg20260306_000828.jpg20260306_001229.jpg20260306_000904.jpg
