Aloe Grow

[JMcG]

Ha!
Well, not really a full on run of aloe, but I did pick up four small starter aloe plants at HD while I was getting materials for all my no till beds. Sound like I’ll be using it quite a bit!
Other than just sitting them in my window and forgetting about them, like the cactuses, is there a better way to get these little uns to grow quickly? Will they take heavy feeding and intense lighting? Thinking I could put them in the corner of my veg room...
Thanks!

I put mine in fox farm, pearlite & a little sand, they need very little water, but i feed it everytime i water, note the scond plant it just appeared one day. SNOLEPERD

Small aloe plants can't take much light at all. The aloe usually in our area isn't barbadensis, still works though.

I didn’t realize we are looking for a specific strain. Barbadensis you say...?
Well I just checked, that are indeed Barbedensis!
What is it that makes this strain preferable?

But the way what do u do with aloe? The prune the branches and sell at the store, I know u can use it on burns, but what else? Can u identify my cacti I have no idea what it is. SNOLEPERD

Thought I killed this one last yr..(took too many cuts between me and my clones..LOL)
BUT..just like weed..it survived:) It stayed in the window and now that the days are longer (picture in Dec 2017), it is starting to go nuts. I feed a bit of Canna Bloom nutes once a month..
PS: these plants love to be left alone..

Yes I know, the need very little care or water.SNOLEPERD

Think I’ll find a window for a couple of them and put the other two off to the side in my veg room and see what happens!
@Snoleperd ... they can be used for cloning and amending soil.
