How to Transplant Aloe Vera Babies

[@thelonesculler]

Can safely say I now have a solid idea of what my monster of a plant needs. (3 years old and it's in the largest pot I could find in IKEA) I left it in my flat at uni for 3 months in lockdown (with no watering) and I came back thinking it would be dead from dehydration... it's made half a dozen pups (two of which are ready to repot and four more showing themselves) and is now back to full strength!

[@Lovelygreens]

Haha! They definitely thrive more on negligence than being coddled 😂

[@meglupo18]

Haha wow!

[@gamingmonster8728]

glad it didnt take over the whole house and start flowering too lol

[@planecrazyish]

So glad I watched this video. Bought a beautiful aloe vera today and it has a lot of babies. Will be repotting it tomorrow and had no idea , i would need to separate the babies. I was just going to repot the entire thing 😆. Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video.

[@Lovelygreens]

You're most welcome!

[@iammariatee]

I was given an aloe last spring. It was maybe 6" tall. I left it out last summer and it's out this summer. It is huge now and has 4 pups that are larger than the original plant. The pot is sooo overcrowded. I'm going to repot in a few weeks. Great video!!!...ty

[@m2o2u]

Hi! Thanks for this video. It's hard to cover everything in one video but you explained everything necessary. Just one little thing I'd like to add is to choose a shallow but wider bowl type of a pot for aloe vera. I Avoid cocopeat because it retains water and rots the aloe vera since it's a succulent plant. Also, use 25% coarse sand that is available in the building supply store with 25% compost and mix well with 50% of the old garden soil that it came from so the changing shock is minimal but it gets nutrition too. Keep the newly planted pups and mother plant in a shaded area although not in the dark. You can bring the mother plant out in the sun after 7 to 10 days but let the pups remain in the shade a few days longer and bring them under direct sunlight according to their growth. It needs plenty of sunlight and too much shade will turn the leaves yellow and standing water will rot it.

[@autumn5852]

What did you learn from the video? Also, why do you suggest putting the plant in a shallow pot? Thanks

[@matthewbrooker]

We love doing this at end of summer to populate the house with cuttings and summer patio specimens over winter. They suit the low light indoors and also do wonders for air purity indoors. Come June, they do well enough outdoors in Southern England.

[@Lovelygreens]

Matthew Brooker Great gardening tradition- you must have a lot of aloes :) Or do you gift them away too?

[@spilltheteaalloverme8810]

I watered my aloe and it turned brown I really thought it was dead, I put it by another plant and sorta forgot about it, a month later it was green again with lots of pups around it, so glad it didn’t die

[@ivyevol3910]

High five my alea also got Browne and after 1 or 2 months it rained and after same day it got bigger and green

[@hmmwong2642]

SAME BUT IF I LEAVE IT, I DONT SEE IT IMPROVING SO I REMOVE IT FROM ITS POT THEN TRIMMED ITS ROOTS THEN AIRDRIED IT FOR A DAY. ON THE NEXT DAY, I REPOTTED IT AND ON THE NEXT DAY AGAIN, IT TURNED GREEN.

[@cijae7982]

Do not overwater it..just once a week.

[@MrYeet-ip4qj]

@@hmmwong2642 That sounds scary because if you don't let the cut dry sufficiently, you can run the risk of bacteria and rot. But it sounds like you didn't cut high enough for that to be too much of an issue

[@MrYeet-ip4qj]

@@cijae7982 I've heard everyone say once month. They will be happier underrated than over watered. That's just how their genes are because they're desert plants. The indication to water is the dirt is fully dry and you can even let the plant shrivel and turn red, that just means they're using their water reserves and they're fine

Now it’s growing out of control to my surprise with at least 50 pups, it definitely needs to be replanted. Your video was very helpful, thank you so much 😊

[@Lovelygreens]

It helps to wait until the cuts callus over, but saying that, your plant could grow just fine. It's always better to let any succulent that's been cut to dry a bit before planting though. It increases the chance of a healthy plant and successful rooting. Next time :)

[@TroutCRAZY]

Great video! I’ve done this before with small aloes like you showed in the video but I have one that is absolutely massive that I’m scared to try to separate. It’s in a 20 inch pot and is so big it’s literally draping over the sides and almost touching the ground. It also has these big flower bud things growing really tall out of it that I’ve never seen from an aloe before. It’s a plant that started when I separated it and planted it as a baby and when I moved away from my parents home my dad just repotted the whole thing into a huge pot and let it grow massive.

[@Lovelygreens]

PrettyAliceMoon PrettyAliceMoon What a gorgeous plant it must be! Does it have a name? :) If it’s doing okay then I’d leave it alone too. Big aloes can be separated but I’ve not done it myself either. It can take a couple people to just lift some!

[@desertflower9557]

Hi, someone shared a very small piece with a group of us for Earth Day this year. It had four little prongs to it but, no roots at all. They did tell us not to water it until it dries out. To date, I have 2 very small appendages to it, and have lost one of the originals. I thought it might not be getting enough light so I moved it. Someone on YT said it could be outside but not in direct sunlight;after 2 days of that it appeared weaker and about to die. I brought it back inside this morning to the indirect sun position, then I decided to watch some KZbin and came across your video. I have not finished viewing it yet. Will any roots develop for me if I am patient or should I just seek out another plant?

[@Lovelygreens]

Plant it up to the bottom of its leaves in a pot of free-draining potting mix and place it indoors in a bright place out of direct sunlight. Water it every now and again but try to forget about it. It may begin to grow roots after some weeks.

Thanks for this video. You shared so much. Through guidance from a different video, I replanted an aloe and it's pup. I let the pup callus for a day, and dusted it with cinnamon. You didn't suggest that. Hopefully it lives and didn't harm the root system. But again, thank you for sharing so much; from the sort of soil to use, topping of alpine pebbles, when to repot, when to water and feed. I feel more informed and confident from watching. ✊🏾

Cinnamon is unnecessary. Some people use it to try stimulating root growth or to keep ants away but I’ve never used it and probably never will. Just another step and expense that wastes time, money, and resources

For the price, instead of Perlite, I like to use paver sand to help with drainage. Seems to work so far on the lettuce, chives, potatoes, and mint. Now that I know what I need to do with the plant I will do that, and probably try harvesting some Aloe to make some Juice and gel.

[@Lovelygreens]

Paver sand is also called polymeric sand. It contains polymers (chemical compounds) that help the sand to set. I wouldn't use it in any of my potting mixtures. You can get horticultural grit or sand that won't have these compounds in them, though.

What if I didn't do what you said and I separated them and reported them without waiting 24 hours? Also I don't have a nice little ball of roots like you. I have a main root and a few very weak tiny ones. I removed mesh that was there bc imo it caused roots to break or not grow I saw no major leaking hence potting it right away. I put 2 inches of soil in a deep pot bc the plant is one main root and filled soil around it is that ok? Also had some babies; my babies are having babies. My adults aren't solid green. They seem top heavy as well I assume it's the nature of the plant hence burying that root deep.

[@Lovelygreens]

Removing any mesh around the plant's roots was a good idea. Hard to say if your pups will grow but the main plant should be fine. If it's flopping, it means it's not well rooted and needs more space to grow. Keep potting up as the plant grows and it can strengthen the plant 💚

So when do you water those potted aloe the first time?

[@Lovelygreens]

Aloes are very resilient and hate wet soil. So it's best to allow the potting mix and any cuts on the pups to fully dry before watering. That applies to mature plants, too. As an aside, I've left unplanted aloe pups in the garage before for six months. Most were still alive at the end.

I’ve had aloe turn brown on me twice from having it outside and it getting too much sun. If it’s outside or in a window that faces the direction that gets the most sun (that’s south for me in Canada) , you could try moving it to another spot with less direct sunlight. If that’s not it, it may be too wet at the base of the roots. If the roots are soaked, you could take it out of the pot and lay out the soil to dry a bit. I’ve had both of these problems and had the plants recover nicely.

[@awkwardfangirl7682]

Mine never makes babies. It just grows up and up in as one single plant. How do i convince her to have babies?

[@Lovelygreens]

They tend to grow pups when they’re happy and healthy or stressed. So to answer your question it happens when the plant decides!

[@schublak]

It happens sometimes that a plant doesn’t.t have pups especially if they are taken away from their environment. So take a very sharp knife and drive it in the chunk root in two or three places to shock the plant. She will immediately wake up, have lots of babies and be happy! Tell her you did it for her good and you will be surprised. I had great results some years ago and yesterday I did it to a new one that I had ordered and it has never produced pups although organic and super quality. So let us see... The plant has to be three or four years old to have its full healing powers. Cut the leaf, peel and rinse the brown liquid completely off, eat or use externally. I freeze the gel like ice cubes for another day. I have five indoor plants. Yes, be careful for burns if behind a glass window in the direct sun but make sure it does get some sun-!

TheUtubewatcher2010 I saw someone just cut off in two parts the ugly leftover of a plant she had taken leaves from on and off. She planted the top in a pot and it continued growing like a new plant. Roots grew and the inner leaves developed. And the old trunk left had new pups! So I tried also and it worked wonderfully!
