Cinnamon Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Just had a check of my Aloes & they have grown a huge amount since I go them,but are now looking a bit brown & the spikes are a bit squishy. I don't think I have over watered them - any ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Have they had enough sun? One in the study went like that - repotted it and put it on the bathroom windowsill and its fine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 They are in a totally glass porch,so yes. It isnt heated though......wonder if its too cold for them at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Sounds like they may have frozen, Sarah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Sounds like they've got a bit too cold Sarah. This has happened to a few of the ones we re potted in the autumn as we forgot how cold the sun lounge got! They're now perking up again though since it's been warmer and are growing back from the middle. I'd suggest you put it indoors for a bit, until the evenings are a bit warmer and eventually the browny leaves will either fall off or recover.

Cinnamon Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks - I knew I should have brought them in Will give them a couple of weeks in the house then - more room for my seeds in the porch that way anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathybc Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I killed mine - by drowning I think. Or perhaps hypothermia over this freezing winter as it is in the conservatory which has no heating. But I have had it a few years so it survived a while.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
