I have aloe from my great grandmother, over 100 years old and have many shoots/ daughter plants/ clones that I give away to the younger cousins and such. Aloes are great and it’s a good heritage/family heirloom

Here’s a suggestion to add a large rock toward the front and anchor the two smallest Aloe pieces beside it.

I thought the pot was a bit small at first but now that they are in there, it seems to be the perfect size!

I love aloe plants and my aloe plant has a lot of pups

Looks great Nigel!

‘How many pots do you have Nigel?’ ‘Enough to put aloe into a Sarah Rayner pot’ 😂😂 Love it Nigel!

very sweet and attractive arrangement. Love that pot with them.

Awesome. Loved to see the pencil cactus starting tk flower... it did quite a long trip 3 to 4 years ago from Brazil. 😉

很有熱带風情味道，that’s great ，well done!

Sarah’s pot is absolutely beautiful. What a joy to get to see it with trees and not hidden from view. Lucky you.

It looks cool good luck 🤞🤞

Nice work i like that

Think that is a great combo with Sarah's pot and the aloë forest.

Beautiful ❤

I have aloe as well. Some I got as a child. They don't get large. I think you made the right decisions! That forest planting looks absolutely fantastic in that pot! It will look very alien! Glad you decided to keep them!

Excellent video on making an Aloe into a bonsai. Thinking out of the box for a unique looking forest.

I like your bonsai sir

It looks amazing Nigel.

31:31 Interesting fact of the day for you: "Humans Can Only Sense Temperature and Pressure. We Can Not Sense Wetness." 👍🙏 Nice forest Nigel look forward to seeing updates on this one 😁

Lol, I could hear the rooster crowing in the video's background, and for a moment I thought I could hear it irl. I was thinking, 'Who the heck got chickens around here in the middle of winter?'

Never thought of creating a bonsai like that. I look forward to a few years down the road. Now that I think about it I have one that is quite big but just alive on the top I could try something with.

Thanks!

Really enjoyed this, i have some older aloes and some strange older cholla cactuses think i am going to try this.

You definetly made the right decision with the spacing in the pot, which looks so beautiful btw. It is going to be difficult to keep it forest style while keeping it away from looking like a clump though, should be fun, I might try something similar soon.

I found an aloe at my dads under a gutter, i went to repot it and the soil was completely soaked and must have been for a while, it rains a lot here. Funny thing was is it looked like it was thriving, roots were super healthy and plant was very green and healthy. I was surprised

that “pencil cactus” with the yellow buds looks to be Hatiora salicornioides, aka dancing bones cactus! one of my favorite cacti :)

This is why I love your channel, Nigel. I was just looking at my tiger aloe today thinking, "cool. It's still alive, my overwintering game is improving, but wtf can I do with this?" Keep up the good work and best wishes from western Washington.

Amazing In Egypt

the secretion of this plants are great for sun burn, just a lil thing to keep in mind for those who live near the cost, or during summer

There's a lot of sedum and crassula varieties (besides jade) that make interesting small bonsai plants.

Hey Nigel you should use the aloe gel and some essential oils to twist your young locs.

cool looking aloe. looks pretty woody too! nice work

Very interesting video Nigel. I did not know that one can make a Bonsai from an Aloe. Being a South African we have Aloes for the whole world as they grow in abundance over here. I am going to try this for sure. Thank you

If I was a betting man, I would have bet a lot of money that there is no way and aloe could be turned into a bonsai, but you have done it Nigel, to my utter disbelief! Well done again!

👍👌

Maybe some of the leaves were growing down because they could not push themselves up; just no place else to go??? The plant is root-beautiful and bountiful. 😊

Aloes are aloe-vely

About the leaves underground, it could just be because it’s so root bound.

Aloes. In four years you’ll be pitching them, just like everyone else in the Western Hemisphere.

Do the jasmine flowers smell good? My star jasmine has white flowers and smells great.

Wat is the update of your desert rose bonsai

I am not fan of such plants but it is very interesting to see such species in bonsai [forest] edition!

The aloe should not have brown tips,I think it needs to be watered more. You can also cut off the brown tips to make it look better.

Hi Nigel. Thank, very interesting video. This is aloe somalensis, not tiger aloe.

Foist

Someone’s a tig welder

Have you ever discussed the lighting used in your basement?

what a pot.

I have some aloes here in Brazil, but they have TOO MUCH inverted taper...
