Depends on how old they are depending on sunlight and if they are use to direct sunlight or not try like 30 min of direct full sunlight then slowly move up to more time also with aloes you don't have to get a deep pot as long as it's wide so doesn't matter too much as long as the got growing room! Hope this helped

That's a decent size aloe carmine "hybrid" and you see the size it has done amazing as you can see the red pillars stems of flowers!

My package from arid lands came in today. happy dance :)

It includes:

Haworthia truncata var. truncata 4-inch pots
1 x Adansonia rubrostipa 5-inch pots
1 x Aloe ramosissima 3-inch pots
1 x Aloe marlothii one-gallon pots
1 x Aloe barberae one-gallon pots
1 x Pachypodium densiflorum 3-inch pots

MOST IMPORTANT rule of thumb for large potted Aloes: they need lots of root room in pots, and the roots are extremely sensitive to temperature variation especially cold - so use bigger/ deeper pots than you think. Pure perlite is fine as it is light and won't get soggy even if you try. Make sure to supplement a well-balanced fert.

Aloes do not like hot and wet, which will be a challenge in Arkansas - though marlothii and barberae may be as tolerant as any other...also vaombe, you may want to try that one. They can take a Florida summer. So can barberae. Aloe thraskii is more or less tolerant of summer rains as well.

Ramosissima: good luck! Be prepared for untimely death. These are particularly sensitive. Never let the roots dry out completely. I will be shocked if you can keep this alive and healthy long term. Go ahead and prove me wrong, I dare you! :-)

Marlothii: easy, but will get very heavy and difficult to move in pots

Barberae: also easy, can get tall fast, but will slow down as roots are restricted

If you want an almost bulletproof tree aloe, I recommend Aloe Hercules. Mine is now almost 7-ft tall not including the pot. Base of stem must be 7-8 inches diameter. I need a dolly to lug it around. Potted plants are not as cold hardy as in the ground. A light frost will damage the leaves, so be careful.

I had A. dichotoma in a pot, also about 6-ft, but this past winter it finally rotted: VERY difficult keeping the root zone at the right temp/ moisture indoors in the cold.

You will need to either find a cool winter space where the plants will stop growing, or find some spot with excellent lighting. Avoid weak winter growth. Dormant is better. Trust me. I've been doing this a l o n g time.

So cool! I definitely want to add some aloes into my collection, but I can only take small ones... Right now I'm thinking Aloe variegata. But some of these prickly aloe also catches my attention quite a bit

After I repot and wait a few days to water it will be in the nintys next week. Should I wait to water until it cools down?
