Lovely Greens is now on PATREON: / lovelygreens
If you have an aloe vera plant, you'll eventually find it growing babies. Lots of babies! Aloe vera pups can be removed from the parent plant and then potted on to make new plants and this video will show you how I do it.
I have several aloe vera plants that I use for handmade skincare and for first aid. With the annual Seed & Plant Share coming up I decided it was time to pot up my extra aloe vera pups so that I can give them away to others.
Aloe vera is well known for its use in treating burns, sunburns, and insect bites. It's also a natural astringent that can be blended into handmade lotions and creams.
This Gardening DIY project involves:
✽ Teasing and cutting the aloe vera babies (called pups) from the parent plant
✽ Allowing the plants to dry at room temperature and out of direct sunlight for 1-2 days
✽ Planting into a potting mix with good drainage -- perlite or grit mixed into multipurpose compost or use cactus compost
✽ Though I do water my plants a little bit after potting on the official recommendation is to wait a few days before watering.
✽ The plants will begin to grow new roots and leaves and can get as big as the mother plant within a couple of years.

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!

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

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.

@@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

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

Hi, I am re-potting my aloe and separating the baby aloe... I am letting it stand at room temperature including the parent aloe since I cannot use the old soil. I just bought cactus soil and perlite on amazon. My cactus soil will arrive aug 24; however, my perlite will arrive a week after. Will it be okay to pot my parent and baby aloe with just cactus soil first? Then dug them out again and replant again when my perlite arrives? Hoping to hear your feedback/reco. ☺️ thank you

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.

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 :)
