HOWWWW have I been living around aloes all my life and never realized they're winter growers?? 🤯 I was double checking the dormancy seasons of some of my other plants last night and accidentally learned that aloes are summer dormant! Idk, they seem to grow year round tbh, but this big guy in the corner of my courtyard DOES seem to be waking up after looking a little "blah" all summer. 🤔 (Yes, the 💀 is permanent year-round decor. 😝)
