Re: Aloe Polyphylla over winter

Very impressive plant Edds. I have a few years to wait then before attempting to plant outdoors. Presumably they appreciate as much sun as possible.

Re: Aloe Polyphylla over winter

Hi Allan,
Thats reassuring to hear, this will be my first attempt at leaving it outside in colder weather, just out of interest what kind of compost do you use?

Re: Aloe Polyphylla over winter

I should have said that the conservatory has a solid roof. When I moved the plant indoors recently I noticed the leaves starting to flatten out. Can I leave the plant out until the first frosts with no worry about rainfall on the crown??

Re: Aloe Polyphylla over winter

I worry about the leaves which tend to stretch out and go pale when kept indoors?

Aloe Polyphylla over winter

Is it better to keep a potted Aloe Polyphylla -
In an open fronted north facing garage over winter
In a well ventilated greenhouse to get more light
Indoors in an unheated conservatory, taking it outside on sunny days?

Aloe Polyphylla

Hi I have an Aloe Polyphylla indoors in a south facing window. The leaves seem a lot paler recently, especially the inner part of the leaf. I have read quite a lot of conflicting advice re watering etc. It was repotted a few months ago in a well draining compost. Am I overwatering or should I put it...
