I’m just now seeing this and now I want an Aloe plant! Thanks a lot! 😂. No really, I always overwatered my plants and killed them but now I’m trying it all again! This time with a chunky light well draining mix! I will give an Aloe another go! I do miss them! I can’t wait to get mine tomorrow.
*Jenny, what I really like about many of your interior/sun porch videos, is that you are soft spoken. It feels like we are side by side sipping a little Tea* while you repot the Aloe Vera plants (rather than 'Instructor Extraordinaire' who thinks no one will hear him/her without a megaphone even when miked up ; ) Thank you for yet another informative and warmly presented video : D ps I heeded your comment and just now repotted my Aloe into a *smaller* pot, it doesn't have root rot yet, nor any pups. But I use Aloe often and need the mother to multiply. *You are so sweet, even the deer in your area must say 'Yayyyy - Salad Bar Time !' in the Spring when your perennials start to come up. (You seem to accommodate everyone & everything's needs.) Love your Vids!*
Thank you for this very helpful video. You've encouraged me to tackle my own aloe vera. Hopefully, my repotting will be a success. Thanks again for your time.
I use ALOE VERA in my DIY hair growth recipes. I put it in my hair every day. I’m growing my own, but I’m in Winter, they have slowed down. I’m in Perth, Australia 🇦🇺 Thank you for your tips. I’m new to your channel.
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden Your most welcome, I’ve since Subscribed to your channel…Is it correct that Aloe Vera or any Succulent slows down growth in Winter? I’m hoping now I have bought some correct soil I will see some difference.
Thank you for this video! When I took care of the aloe, it looked sad. When I neglected it, it thrived. I sprayed it with water maybe once a month and now I have so many pups which is what led me to this video. I’ll be giving it a try.
Thank you. I just seperated my huge aloe vera plant today. It is a plant that has been in my family for decades. I have never separated it before. I put some, not all of the 'babies' in some pots with potting soil. I pray they will survive. I have them in a 'cool' place and the soil is a bit wet right now; so I will not water for a while I suppose. Thank you.. thumbs up!
Thanks! After watching your video i think i am going to depot and separate all of the little babies then go shop for the right size containers and soul. 💜
Thanks for the awesome tips! My aloe vera is growing lots of babies and I just left them to grow in the existing big pot. After some time some babies just fell out. I was not sure how to repot them, afraid to hurt the roots. After watching your video, you have given very clear instructions. Will try to do it! Thanks so much. Btw my main aloe vera was thrown away by a neighbour for more than a year too. I watered it once in awhile and decides to adopt it, give it a nice pot. After taking care of it, babies popped up. ❤
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden Thanks! Starting to see more results after caring for them, been busy and not doing my best! Hope to learn more from you! Thanks again! and i just bought new pots! hope to share with you more on my results!
Thank you for sharing. I like the idea of the green container. I never thought of such a brilliant idea. I love your soft voice and mannerisms. It is a pleasure to be in your planting area. 😊
I have an Aloe Vera plant that is now a grandmother and I’ve had her for a good 15 years. She’s huge and I actually had cut her off of her stalk two summers ago, let the cut callous over and replanted her. She rooted herself back into the new dirt and I left the old stalk, which grew babies off of it!! She had babies about five years ago and now those babies are having babies (hence my saying she’s a grandmother!)! I actually use the feeling of the leaves as to determine when to water her. If the leaves are feeling firm and thick, she’s good. When I’m able to squeeze them, or they look floppy, she needs water. As far as fertilizer, last year was the first time I gave them any, and I just gave them some Liquid Dirt and Super Thrive. I just found a succulent fertilizer on Amazon that I’m going to try next year. For soil, I use a cactus soil and mix in pumice and orchid bark. Sometimes I buy Bonsai Jack Succulent mix and add that in as well. Will you be doing any more houseplant videos? I just found your channel from this video. I’m disabled and unable to do outside gardening but I have a large houseplant collection and enjoy caring for them. Those babies will be well loved by their recipients - such great gifts! Thank you for sharing! 💜💚🪴🌵
Oh my, that's wonderful! I'm not a huge houseplant person, though I do have a spider plant that is probably the 5th or 6th generation of one that I got when we first were married 35 years ago!!!! I will be doing some more videos about indoor gardening this winter, so I hope you'll follow along. I'm sure you can teach me a thing or two!!!
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden I just love houseplants and I do have Spider plants but they are tricky!! I’ve found that once they like a location, they don’t respond to being moved well at all!! I’ll keep an eye out for more videos from you and feel free to reach out with any questions! I’d love to help! 💜💜💜
Very good informative video! How did the big mother plant do after you cut her roots down? I have to do this with my big momma aloe and I'm nervous!! She's made me 100+ pups!!
Thank you so much for a great informative video, I have two pots of overgrown aloe vera plants and didn't know how to separate them not to mention that they are spikey and crowded in the pot. I was dreading to handling them, they're spikey and hard to handle! I guess I'll wear gloves and newspaper to wrap them and avoid their spikes. I truly appreciate ur easy explanation and handling of them. I live in Florida and had the plants for over a year and they have grown out greatly, this winter the poor plants froze and looked sad, thought I will loose them but I trimmed the frozen sections and it's healing itself nicely and they're ready to be repotted. Now I know how to do it correctly! Thanks again! 👍❤️
You just saved my aloe vera babies. 💖 I made the huge mistake of watering them right after I cut them from their mama and trimmed a few leaves (worse: I put them in a large glass of water, because I had no soil at hand to replant them). The leaves at the bottom rot, and kept rotting even after I put them in soil (because I watered them again... ) but the top is salvageble still. Thank you!
Man, imma one up you here. When I moved into my house 16 years ago, I went to Home Depot and bought some coconut fiber - you know, those 169 bowl sizes? I had a BUNCH of aloe that I just stuck into soil because that’s what my Nana taught me, aloe-soil, you know..l that’s what aloe needs. Fast forward 16 years for this poor creature. STILL ALIVE. I’ve watered it… not joking…. Maybe once a year. It’s been in partially sunny and then very, very shaded parts of my house. Last year a part of it bloomed in the dark. Pretty sure it’s been surviving on humidity and spite alone. Currently repotting everything (main stalk and pups) into a more beneficial place. With…. A major hunk load being tossed in the trash as desiccated plant matter. I have faith this creature will survive the apocalypse. I think if any window in my house should break, with the natural air humidity…. My braven child - go forth and populate. You are a survivor!
Believe it or not, I killed a aloe plant. My friend said, "here is a aloe plant, there is no way for you to kill it". Well, she was wrong. I guess I over watered it. She got me another one for Christmas that just passed and it's flourishing. That's what brought me to your video. Thanks for all the information on re-potting.
Hello ,I did this basically the same way you did but I watered all my plants because I hadn’t watched this video yet and I didn’t know that they should be left to heal first . Will my plants be okay? Also thank you for this great video !
Thanks for a lovely, informative video! as a further tip (that I've seen on other videos I'm watching on this topic ;) ): you can add some rocks/gravel on top of the soil to help prevent the tipping over :) p.s. It would also be interesting to see an update from a week/month later, if that were an option :)
Hello again....I can't believe I'm writing again so soon lol. Well, I failed my farmer roots.....😥😥 I had all kinds of pups and medium sized aloe plants. Dang near brought them back to life. I transplanted all the squished together plants and I had given a bunch away to friends at work. Well I haven't spoken with the gals at work about the plants, but I was sure succesful killing every one of my plants.....so sad... I'm trying again. Bought a few at Home Depot. I saw maybe I had too much dry soil and I tried to let the wounds heal up before transplanting. I may have gone too long there leaving them out. We'll see if this girl can be successful this time around. I had some pretty plants too......dang! I can't believe I'm the last comment last time too lol. I will be in touch when I find out one way or another.....
Great Video. I recently bought and Potted an Aloe Vera Plant. The Mother Plant seems to be thriving. Although I used a normal potting mix rather than a Cactus/Succulent Mix since I wasn't aware of it. Would my Plant still be OK? Also, there is one leaf at base of the Mother plant that is sort of rotten and mushy. However, I'm sort of worried about removing that Leaf since there's a very tiny pup right next to the Leaf and I don't want to damage the Pup in the Process. Could you give me some Advice? I'm from Southern Ontario, Canada and I've got my Aloe indoors right by the Window. We don't really get Great Weather most of the times though at the moment we're enjoying our Spring/Summers. Thanks 😊
Susan here, i have always had issues with aloe, ugh, but started to get into i keep mine in an east window with grow lights, i have one that i have had now 3 years, its had one or two new leaves and does not do a thing but just sit there haha, so i added top soil to it, and i use osmocote to fertilize mine and water once a month, thats it, loose soil, and a small enough pot, but that one plant is stubborn its healthy great roots but just wont produce pups, no idea why, it should have long ago,i have many types of aloe and now i cant get enough of them haha
I had 2 big beautiful aloes together and i transplanted them and i over watered them and was rottening i took them out of the wet dirt and replaced them in dry dirt trying to save them now i only have a hafe if the one big one it's trying to grow smaller leafs and looks poorly and the ither didn't make it i have another one in my bathroom its a decent size but some of my leafs are turning black do i need to cut thoses off or leave them? i love my aloes and I don't want to lose my last 2 can someone help me please 😢😢
Good gods i have a lot of work to do! I have 4 aloe that my mom stole from me & I am Finally getting my 13th bday present from my fav. late😢 uncle at 40....she's been doing it wrong for YEARS!!!!! Wrong pot, wrong repoting🤷🏼♀️ What are your thoughts on separating the Leaves at the root & topping them & planting them? Some of these are so rotted I'm worried if i replant them it will not grow. I wish I looked on here not listened to her😂 ugh
Oh gosh, so sorry to hear. Well, I think in your situation, I would do a bit more google research and find other info about how to deal with your specific situation. I've not had good luck with rooting individual leaves, but if you're separating a root ball, and each piece ends up with some root attached, I imagine it would work. Good luck!
How often do you water your aloe Vera? Are there any signs to know that tell you the plant needs water or do you wait a certain amount of day between waterings?
Ummmmmm..... I almost never water it. In fact, it was put on the floor out of sight for over a year without water, and it lived. I would definitely not over water it. Once a month seems enough to me, honestly.
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGardenHi. Is it ok to water when, like you said , the top 2 inch of soil dries ? If so, then mine dries out in a week or less so can I water it weekly ?
@@SamSam-ub3rw yes, water it when it needs it, no matter how many days between. if it needs it weekly, then that's fine. if only every two weeks, that's fine too. Let the soil tell you when.
I cannot believe you cut those beautiful roots off the mother plant. I would never do that. Nice roots for transplanting are a blessing.
Better listen
She already Said that she's not professional
Love your confidence for your aloe care. I so used to be afraid of my plants! Thank you for all the helpful information. ❤❤❤🪴🪴🪴

If you plant the root part it will grow more tops.
You can use cinnamon on cuts to dry it out.
Good tips, thanks!
And the off cut leaves will root also if they're first allowed to form a calus then potted in cactus mix.
What a great tutorial! I needed all of this information for my own, thank you 🌹

I have the same question 😮🤔🙄
Your hair looks cute🥰
Aww, thanks!
I hope to goodness you planted all thise leaves you cut off because they are all mature leaves that would root after several weeks
Hi. Is it ok to water when, like you said , the top 2 inch of soil dries ? If so, then mine dries out in a week or less so can I water it weekly ?
Mine is happy being watered once a week, but is okay if I forget and go a few days longer.
@@mariepellerin2151 thanks so much.
Just curious, if you poot the root system with the little bit of green, would you get more PUPS from those roots?
I did try that, but it didn't survive. 🙁
Good informative video thanks
Glad it was helpful!
What do you do with all of those larger leaves that you cut off? Can you store the leaves in the refrigerator in a bag to use for medicinal purposes?
I'm not sure! I think I tried to root them, failed at that, and then tossed them onto the compost pile.
So nice
Wait, what happened to the good root system on the main aloe. And did it survive/regrow roots after you completely cut the stem and roots off?!
No, it was a sacrifice to the aloe gods. but we got a lot of great offshoots and such, so the original mama plant did her job well.
Great Video. I recently bought and Potted an Aloe Vera Plant. The Mother Plant seems to be thriving.

pl. can it grow in reflected sun light ?
I think so, but not sure.
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden thanks
All I have is the leafs and no roots at all ?
Good gods i have a lot of work to do! I have 4 aloe that my mom stole from me & I am Finally getting my 13th bday present from my fav. late😢 uncle at 40....she's been doing it wrong for YEARS!!!!! Wrong pot, wrong repoting🤷🏼♀️ What are your thoughts on separating the Leaves at the root & topping them & planting them? Some of these are so rotted I'm worried if i replant them it will not grow. I wish I looked on here not listened to her😂 ugh
Oh gosh, so sorry to hear. Well, I think in your situation, I would do a bit more google research and find other info about how to deal with your specific situation. I've not had good luck with rooting individual leaves, but if you're separating a root ball, and each piece ends up with some root attached, I imagine it would work. Good luck!
Of u need aloe for hair or skin you can freeze the leaves in ziplock bags for.later use.
Good to know!
How often do you water your aloe Vera? Are there any signs to know that tell you the plant needs water or do you wait a certain amount of day between waterings?
Ummmmmm..... I almost never water it. In fact, it was put on the floor out of sight for over a year without water, and it lived. I would definitely not over water it. Once a month seems enough to me, honestly.
@@HarmonyHillsHomeandGardenHi. Is it ok to water when, like you said , the top 2 inch of soil dries ? If so, then mine dries out in a week or less so can I water it weekly ?
@@SamSam-ub3rw yes, water it when it needs it, no matter how many days between. if it needs it weekly, then that's fine. if only every two weeks, that's fine too. Let the soil tell you when.
Half sand and half regular potting mix works great.
Dang a year and a half. I used to kill every succulent but now I just never water them and they are great.
Right? They seem to thrive on my neglect - which benefits both of us!
Never water them ? Impossible . At least water them once every 2 or 3 months
i always water mine before i remove them to repot, much eaiser
