You were supposed to tell me my aloe wouldn't like cactus soil or a bigger pot. Thing was falling over in the old pot

@Justafantasy I have one of those & I just leave it alone since this is the first one I haven't managed to kill

@Tumbleweed kid knocked it over with an RC car. He tried to stand it back up and it fell over. I tried and had the same happen. Huge root on the thing. Bigger pot was the only way I could balance it

@Justafantasy It's probably just in shock. You can put it in some water & the roots will take off again. Or just baby it since you've already repotted it.

@Tumbleweed that particular aloe I'm amazed is still alive, I've had it in pots to big, to small, over attended, under attended, left outside for the summer where it got sunburned, left in the basement for the winter, where it never got watered. Left in the boot room where I'm sure the temperature is at times below freezing. Best thing I've done was chopped off all the leaves and then it grew nice and bright green

@Tumbleweed it's a "don't look after it" plant. Pay attention to them and they don't like it, forgot to water stuff in giant pots and they died? You're aloe in a tiny pot is good for another six weeks. Quality dirt? Don't want none of that, it'll make a dandelion look like a high maintenance plant

@Justafantasy Exactly!!

@Tumbleweed the plant behind the candle with the flowers, what is it?
