My Poor Plant
I’ve had this Aloe vera plant most of my adult life. Whenever it grew too large I would plant the healthier stems and take the small ones with me in this simple ceramic pot. It seemed every year I was going through this ritual. Then a few years ago, it stopped growing. It just… stopped.
There’s only a few stems and they’ve stagnated. And on occasion they’ve about died. More water? Less water? I don’t know.
Without really thinking about it I started doing things like change the soil, moving it to different light. Nothing really seems to work. I realize I can’t force it to grow. So I give it everything it needs, make sure it’s safe, hoping one day it will grow and break out of its little ceramic pot.
