So before I could get into the greenhouse to show you around , I had to take out all the big things which had been over wintering in there . These two Aloe (very ) ferox were probably the heaviest ones , being planted in plain old free garden earth . Planet Earth earth !
Actually these have been left in the greenhouse for the last three years , I know this because I,ve been too poorly to lift them in and out and that broken leaf has been there since then ....and it is still green and alive looking .
It must have snapped off as , then , very strong me lifted it in to the greenhouse and I had just stuck it a little into the earth in the pot and gone off and forgotten all about it .
Could it possibly be putting down roots ? Could those spikes actually turn into roots ?
Well I took it up and turned it over and sure enough ..I think one or two of those spikes are becoming more white looking .
So now feeling guilty that I did not take more care I decided to give it some more tender loving care . Finds plastic tray , nice fresh gritty compost , grit , label ,nice stones I found on the beach ......
Very nice stones I found on the beach ..aren't they cool ? ! :)
Perfect for reclining on .......
Making sure the base is into the gritty compost and more grit all around to keep the snails off .
Reclining in the the warm Cornish sunshine .
Has anyone done this ? Would like to know did it produce pups /roots ? Or will it just become like " the blob " .....in my last post ?
