How To Repot And Divide Aloe Vera Plants ( Repotting Tips )

#aloe #repotting #aloevera
In this video I will show you how to repot or transplant your over grown Aloe Vera pups. This includes soil type, pot type, and basic care. If your Aloe Vera Plant is getting too top heavy for the pot then this video will help! Aloe Vera care requires the proper draining soil and a pot with drainage holes. As for watering, make sure your soil dries completely before giving your plant more water!

This was the best aloe repotting video I've ever seen. I've watched many videos on the subject because most leave so many unanswered questions but your video was informative and complete (as far as I can tell)! I've never seen the process of cutting off the leaning stem and pulling the bottom leaves. Thank you very much!

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks for the kind words. Also there is an update video too to show that they will survive, and i can still confirm today that they are all living and growing well

[@izzyh.3581]

@@TechplantChannel hey, I second what the original comment said. Also, checking in on your plants :). How are they doing now??

[@TechplantChannel]

@@izzyh.3581 all alive and well!

[@izzyh.3581]

@@TechplantChannel that's fantastic! You did a great job! What is the water cycle you prefer?

[@SweetArcane]

Exactly ! This video answers my question too

[@sleepy_jello]

For anyone who is trying to make your aloe Vera root here is how to do it:. 1.cut the dead roots (if you have them) 2. Cut the stem to the length you want. 3.let the cuts dry (if you don't and plant it directly you will end up with a decomposing squishy aloe Vera) 4.once dried plant it in soil (in a well draining pot) 5.water it only once a week for the first two weeks. I have myself tried this and trust me now mashallah my aloe Vera plant has beautiful roots

[@karyme1154]

hi. i just cut the stem and placed it so that it gets dry, But after 5 min when i was not around my mother plant it in a pot. I removed it from that pot now and cut a little bit of stem now. I don't know if it will be fine or not. can you please tell for how long will i have to keep it to dry out? also please let me know if my plant is okay or not.

[@TheWeekendFriend]

Yes how long to dry the stem before planting? Or callus?

[@SlavicGuitar]

@@karyme1154 I usually let succulents callus (i.e. dry out) for 5-7 days before I plant them in soil.

Came here looking for info to save my Old Man Aloe from college in 1986. He has spawned dozens of kids I gave away as gifts to friends. The root was about 4 ft long. Thanks for the tips. Great job.

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks for sharing! I hope you have success!

[@shamusmcgillicutty2436]

I know its been two years… But your video just saved my 6 year old aloe that has been root bound in a 5 gallon bucked! I had 10 big girls all in that one pot! Great video

[@TechplantChannel]

Nice! 6 years is impressive!

[@jordanhancock279]

Thank you for this video. I saved a big aloe plant from beside the dumpster. Found four babies in there. :)

[@thebluriam]

Dude! This video saved me (and my aloe vera plant named "Professor Prickles"). I was tearing my brain out trying to force myself to get through other aloe vera repotting videos (they're so bad!), but your video is so incredibly well presented and properly technical (in the way I appreciate the most.)

[@carol-annebrenner6519]

I watched a couple videos before this one on the same subject. I found your video informative but not over talked. Many are too long winded about leading up to the subject but yours actually seems to get to the topic without loosing my attention. Thank you for your information and it being presented in a good way.

[@karleypage9137]

Man I love your videos so much. Very informative but also I feel like you’re personally talking to me and helping me with my plants. Like we’re just two buds hanging out and swapping plant tips

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks for the kind words! I hope I can maintain that feeling! I also have intentions of sort of building out a website/community so me and all of you can communicate in a better method instead of through comments! Thanks for watching!

[@nunie7834]

Thank you for this video, it's exactly what I needed! My aloe had about 4 inches of bare stem on most of the individual plants! I literally have to lay it against the window because it doesn't carry it's own weight at all anymore. Now all 5 pieces have been trimmed way down and waiting for calluses to form. Can't wait to replant them and have my old gal back to her former glory :)

[@elizabethkent9859]

Update please 😊 I hope she’s thriving 💚

[@KatrinaMidgette]

I was so sad after giving up my cat a year or two ago, so I decided to buy a bunch of aloe plants and now they’re growing up so well I need to repot like all of them I think I’ll have at least 12 different aloes so this was very very helpful thank you

[@TechplantChannel]

Good luck with your repotting! Congrats on all the little baby aloes!

[@Zimoria]

This video is amazing, thank you. It makes me feel so much more confident in handling my aloe plants

[@TechplantChannel]

Hope it goes well!

[@martymartian9820]

We have the offspring of an Aloe we picked in Florida, 45 years ago. We have given away pieces over the years and we have 3 huge plants now and thank you for the well done video how to clean it up because it’s heading across the table.

[@TechplantChannel]

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing and good luck!

[@jessicayankee6369]

Yes! Thank you! This answered all the questions! Great job. Btw, I tried the "water propagation" technique and it totally worked. My aloe hasn't been watered in FOREVER. The leaves we're starting to thin out, so I figured I'd give it a try before repotting. Wah-lah, plump leaves! Ready for the dirt!!!

[@TechplantChannel]

Awesome! I'm glad it worked for you!

[@scotiawillow]

Thank you very much for this very informative video! I was recently gifted an Aloe Vera plant from a senior citizen who went into a Seniors home. I have learned from you how to divide this plant! I got 9 plants out of the one very cramped pot! I plan to take a photo of them to show her how well her plant is doing! Thanks again!

[@TechplantChannel]

Wonderful! Im sure she will be surprised and happy, nice work

[@sunstripe85]

This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much! I have a monster aloe vera I've wanted to split up but I was afraid I would do something wrong. This was SO easy to follow and so informative that I was able to immediately report three of the pups - and I'm looking forward to doing the rest, including the airing out part when I have more time. This was also perfect timing because I wanted to repot one of the pups as a birthday gift, and this made it so simple to do!

[@tony7713]

How did it go

[@arik6796]

Thank you for this. I gave my boss an aloe plant 8 years ago and I came back to find it growing out of the pot all over the place! XD I'm going to get it repotted this weekend.

[@TechplantChannel]

Wow! i love really old plants with history, thanks for sharing

[@Kimtendo_]

Thank you so much for this guide. I was too afraid to just go at it without proper guidance. It's my first plant and it's survived 3 years and I'm so proud of my baby!

[@peggydid]

This was so helpful! Thanks! My aloe is a neglected "monster", so seeing how you prepared your bigger plant is just what I needed to see! I hope all your "plant children" are doing great! Peggy

[@NYtalk60]

Thanks so much! My aloe has topped the pot over and I didn't know what to do. It has a large one with about 4 other smaller ones. Now I feel like I know what to do!🤗

[@NaturallyHigh]

I love how clearly you communicated this. My plant looks much happier now.

[@TechplantChannel]

Awesome!! Glad it worked out well for you, nice job!

[@mags8877]

Thank you so much for helping me repot an aloe I purchased at a Farmer's Market. I live in an apartment and have my plant sitting on the window sill and she started trying to get out of her pot and has 2 babies. Most videos I find are for repotting one's plants outside in their garden and neglect city apartment dwellers who love plants. Your video was easy to understand, I enjoyed your sense of humor (mixing soils to feel smart) and common sense (started rotting and took them out of the water). This is the most helpful video and I thank you so much! 💞🪴

[@JuneHeffer]

So helpful and to the point. I appreciate you showing each step so clearly. Thanks for this!

[@jshokraifard]

This was the most helpful video I’ve watched. I actually couldn’t watch most of the others all the way through, and none of them addressed the overgrown monster plants I’m dealing with. Thank you! I was worried I’d killed part of it by cutting it off without roots but it was exactly what you did, so I’m hopeful it will all work out!

[@clmhgriz]

Thank you! I'm a very visual learner. I feel more confident in saving a HUGE plant that a friend gave to me. Also, thank you for keeping this short and sweet with great helpful information. God Bless You and Yours!

[@SweetArcane]

I love Aloes just because I forget to water my plants and they are just perfect 😁 Many thanks for your very helpful video !

[@TechplantChannel]

same lol, they are no fuss easy peasy if you just leave em be

[@CortneySalerno]

Thank you! Yours is one if the only videos show that type of step on a too heavy aloe. I have a mini bell that looks nothing like most images of a mini bell. It had these stems and everyone else was showing just perfect roots. Can't wait to try cutting and callous!

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks and good luck!!

Thank you, thank you!!!! I have two, 3 ft long aloes with the bottom halves briwn! A pup is easy to deal with, but I didn't know what the big ones could take or what exactly to do. Your's is the only video I could find that addressed this issue!

This was great. This is exactly the info I was looking for. I wish I could send you a picture of my monster aloe plant. About 15 years old. Lots and lots of pups, about 3 feet across. I'm almost afraid to try and divide and transplant it. Great video, keep up the good work.

Thank you!! I came across a box of aloe Vera plant cuttings in my apartment complex with a sign saying they were free and to take what you needed. I have never owned an aloe Vera plant before but I’m excited to watch it grow

[@elisabethtaylor7281]

Ok I i just pulled off the bottom leaves and juiced the aloe vera gel out the best I could. Also cut off the bottom of the plant with roots because the plant stem was way too long...Now my plant is resting on a towel and I'll wait for the bottom to callous over! Yay thanks for sharing this method :) Also I had the aloe in a gigantic terra cotta pot--I didn't know downsizing will help the plant produce pups! I'm going to look for a smaller pot now so I can give my friends plant babies.

Awesome, thanks! I don’t know much about plants, but I had repotted into a generic potting soil, with a layer compost and then mulch, and directly under grow light and my aloe is huge! I do forget to water it often…. But just wanted to share for any readers that even when you mess up how to take care of it or which soil, chances are your aloe will do just fine! Don’t be nervous to try! Good luck!

[@LarkLoganYourRockinRealtor]

This is a great and informative presentation. I have no gift for keeping plants alive but my aloe vera survived a transplant to a larger pot. Seeing how you split yours up will be helpful when I have to transplant it again. Thank you!

I have the same problems. I did actually trow it into garbage, not knowing what the aloavera needs are. Still have the pot full of little branches of monstrous wild growing plant in same big pot. Now will do better than before.

[@MissMiyakosKitty]

This video saved my massawana! Pretty sure it hadn't been watered and hadn't had nearly enough sunlight. It was leggy, leaning heavily and the leaves were hollow and curling from dehydration. This one plant turned into about 15 after I was done cutting and when I put the cuttings in water for a day, they had plumped up a bit, which is when I let them callus over and then planted them. They're looking great so far! Thank you!

[@TechplantChannel]

Awesome and glad to here!

[@miriammondragon1322]

Wow thank you for this video! I just moved into a new place and the previous owner left a potted aloe that looked like it was on its last leg! It was so neglected. I cut all the pups from the thick dry stems, not really knowing if I was doing the right thing, and removed everything that looked dead. I left them to callous and, thanks to your vid, I’ll repot them tomorrow! Thank you! B
