Aloe Vera plant

[Paulapearce]

I have two aloe vera plants one has long straight thick leaves the other not so long but loads of curly leaves whats the difference and how do I care for them

Hi Paul, There are many different types of aloe, with aloe vera being one. Sounds like your curly leafed one is a different type of succulent. The care is the same. A bright sunny spot, water when the soil dries out about 2" down, repot when rootbound. http://faq.gardenweb.com/faq/lists/cacti/2000073249017614.ht ml http://www.belgicactus.be/succulentindex/aloe/index.html http://www.belgicactus.be/succulentindex/succulent/index.htm l
