My green thumb has turned black

Let me explain.

There's a new plant on my not-too-long "finicky plants" list.
It was one of my loved plants, a succulent, producing a spiraling rosette, great blooms - what more could I ask for? Well... for good-behavior.

This Aloe polyphylla has driven me mad. I just can't keep it alive in a pot - the only environment it could ever survive in). If ever!

I think I always over-water. But then, it can't be (only) me! I got other succulents, watered just about in the same fashion, and they seem to thrive.

This particular one, is not the first casualty but definitely the last! The succulent world is immense so I am sure I can find another candidate for the empty pot.

Blooming Aloe

It's not always easy to convince succulents to bloom over here. They must benefit from the right conditions, be of the right age.
But here is one of my succulents, an ALOE (anyone who can tell me WHICH ONE, please DO) that, due to its small size, really surprised me with a tall and slender stem and nice (not-too-small) green->yellow->pink flowers.
It's not producing any pups yet, so I am thinking it's throwing all energy in these lovely flowers.

(I brought it inside, together with some other succulents, as it's been raining on/off for the past 2-3 days).

Here it is, on a sunny day, when I first saw what it's up to.

 Temporarily sitting between a pot of Ledebouria socialis and my only survivor Aloe polyphylla.

The really tall stem makes it hard to catch the whole plant in a nice pic.

Good Aloe, bad Aloe...

A few things happened since I posted about my cute succulents.
Well... one of the two Aloe polyphylla, the one looking sad, the one I thought it was lacking water (thus giving it more water) decided to rot and die.
Guess... too much water. I was imagining the opposite.
Here's what it looks like...

And here's what it looks like without it :(

 

And...the good news is ... another Aloe is gonna bloom! I think!
