I have a very happy, very large aloe plant (in fact so large, she can't fit through the back door anymore)... and its been getting down into freezing temperatures around my area lately. What I have always done was bring her in during the winter months so she didn't freeze-- and the months where I didn't bring her in, she froze and lost a lot of her stems. It generally took her about 5 months of warmer weather just to recuperate the growth she lost and then she'd be flourishing again by December... but then it gets down into freezing temps again, of course, and then she's freezing again.
On the other hand, even when I could fit her in the door to bring her inside, she hates being indoors and her dirt would mold terribly (even when I put her in direct sunlight and watered very infrequently... I even tried bringing her back outside during the day and then moving her inside at night-- still molding).
...So this year, I'm at a loss. The best idea I have is to put a trash bag over her at night (my mom used to do that with the orange trees)... but it doesn't really seem to be helping much- I still see signs of damage to her stems from the cold (I have been taking the bag off during the day to discourage the usual mold).
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys. :28:
