I just wanted to let you know that I followed your technique and propagated my aloe the same way you did in your video and it was a success! Thank you for the great video and great idea! Thank you!
A tip for beheading any succulents. You can use floss or string. you want to wrap the string around the part you want to chop off and you wanna wrap it at least 1-2 times around. then you pull both sides of the string and viola. Comes off clean
My mom use to take babies, tie a red ribbon on them (make a bow) and would hang it above the front door of our home. Believe it or not, that sucker would grow and grow like crazy w no nutrients, no soil, no water. This was in the middle of Nebraska too, so not even the climate they like. I always thought it was amazing
That’s so weird.. I mean they have to at least catch water from the air, right?? I almost want to try this, even tho it most likely won’t work- especially with my luck..
@@jannatunnaim5139 I found a video called dry propagation. It can also be called air propagation I'm gonna do some more research, so cool! Maybe this will help:)
I’ve been searching for so long to find a video that might talk about this and whether or not it’s possible!! I only have my one aloe, so I’m going to try and get it looking healthier before I try to propagate it like this, but I can’t wait to give it a shot. Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻🤩
Thanks for experimenting so we all can learn. Very interesting. Also, I’ve heard that aloes produce more pups when they’re pot bound. You could try putting them in a smaller pot and see what happens. Mine produced a pup when it was in a really small pot but hasn’t since I’ve repotted and separated it. Thanks again. 😀
I have a question, if I want to be using the aloe gel daily, how I can use the plant leaves without harming the plant, and if I cut a leaf does new one appear? And how long it take for new one to grow?
I just tried this (i.e. beheading) with an aloe hybrid I've had for several years. Currently, I am waiting for them to callous over so that I can report them. So excited for this little experiment. My aloe hybrid was etiolating and it needed "correction". Sadly, it hasn't every produced pups so I hope this will work for me! Thanks for sharing.
What I did like two months ago was just cut a leaf, like not at the base of anything, just life half way down on an older one. I let it heal over and I just stuck it into the soil. It hasn't grown roots, but it also hasn't rotted and is looking surprisingly healthy, it was only two months ago, but it has curved at the bottom and kind of looking like a base, if that makes sense.
How exciting! I have a bunch of stretched out aloe that I’ll probably do this with. They had babies but the Mama plant is pretty stretched out that it’ll give her a new chance at life and to look beautiful. Great experiment!
I might try it Mine did make babies when I had a4 other cactus by it of different species. I don't know why it quit. I had to transplant it's in a bigger container
Hi, I'm a newbie and wanna know if you can leave the soil moist. A friend told me they don't like wet soil and told me not to give water just becos the top soil is dry.
Well done. It looks dangerous, for the plant, but you made it work.I had a very stretched out Aloe and I cut it from the long trunk and the top is doing okay. I could have used your method to propagate. I'll try it next time.
I have a very stretched out aloe too.. I'm nervous about losing it so I'm trying to propogate. But I want to cut the base down too.. but still haven't done anything. Scared I will lose it and I've had it for 8 years.
Try this; I'm curious if it works for you. Cut one healthy "leaf," and literally just drop it in the pot. Takes a long time...but side pups coming up for me.
You make awesome videos! I am going to try it. I have Aloe Marlothii that seem like the center head rot but it survived. I replanted it from the garden in a pot. Will see maybe it will make two heads.
Hi Jess interesting video, I have half dozen Aloe's 1 has one baby but the other 5 nothing I was going to repot them this week but now I think I will give your system a try this week.it will be interesting to see the result and will update you in a month or so, best wishes from Peter in the UK
Sorry this is pretty late, but does this method work on Aloe Barbadensis? I have two of them that are about a year old, but I'm scared to try this and have it fail.
Do you have to let the new cutting set it out for a few days till the cuttings healed. or you straight away plant it in the soil? My Aloe is great but It did not have any babies.
You can put it in the soil but do not water for at least a week then and make sure your soil is dry. You don’t want it to come in contact with water until it is healed, either in the pot or sitting out.
@@AngelsGrove yeah. It's a leaf. And one side is more full (has more leaves than the other). Is it ok if I email you a photo of it? I also want to email you a photo of this other plant I'm not sure if it's an aloe or a Hiawatha. Please can you identify it for me? Thanks
Omg I have the same issues no matter what no babies but then I saw a vdo where they showed cut off whole plant n the roots will produce new aloe n also the cut top will grow roots, they also suggested to cover up the stem With nutrients soil n new pups will come...
I'll try this out. Been looking at a few videos now and there seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how to propagate this plant. Just so I am clear, if I trim a leaf with 6"+, is there a way to also propagate that? Or that just rots out eventually?
I have been told it is possible to propagate that way but I have never personally been successful with it. My almost guaranteed way that hasn’t failed me yet to to cut from the middle as shown.
Wow urs worked! I did this exact way u did and I’m not having any luck so far! 🥺 And I had a whole new aloe baby plant growing beside my main plant and I took it out of its main pot with the big aloe and put in a new pot and it looks like it’s dyeing now 😞 I did both these things about a month and half ago .
Kriss Daniels oh no! Aloes seem to be really finicky for me too. Mine won’t make babies on its own and that’s like what they do! Oh I hope it comes back
Angel's Grove ya I don’t know.. if way to share pic here of it.. u would see that all its aloe leaves are dropping 🥺 it was an actual whole new plant .. just was being repotted. Not sure what happened. 🤔 And the single leaves that I cut at base of main plant like u did .. I let them heal up a few days til was calloused over and dry up on ends and sat in some new soil and not sure yet if they will be ok 😬 Do u do bonsai trees.. growing from seeds? I just bought a bonsai seedlings kit and was gonna growing these too 😁
my 2 years old son did this he pulled the centre part of my aloe and i tried to save my plant following this method but both of the part of plant died.😔
I nearly killed my first aloe by root rot. It lost all its roots. It fell over once when moving it and the roots were still in the pot rotted out, but the aloe looked just fine. I ended up putting it in water hoping something would happen and it grew roots and it's like in never killed its source of life lol.
@@AngelsGrove thank you. It really is amazing. I totally get how you feel with having picky aloes. I now have one that is just the middle shoot and roots sitting in some water coming back from being all gross and brown from being in the heat. I really dont understand aloes. I can never get it just right and I'm always moving them. It's either too hot, too cold, not enough water, too much.lol haha.
@@cattfishing Aloes don't really die from root rot it's the fungus and bacteria that thrives in wet soil unlike anyone I Water my aloe everyday beacuse it was airdried to prevent rotting and the soil isn't draning 😂😂 and the plant has no problems when overwatering it so air-drying saves everything
Jenny Dougherty I waited about a week to let them dry and then you plant and can water them as you normally would that plant. So for mine, they got water maybe every other week
I don't need to do this BC my weirdest method I do is waterlogging it everyday and the soil is not drainage plus my aloe is Air-dried since I ordered it and it's growing well and no problem has happened to my aloe Vera thanks to air-drying If your a newbie airdry for 2 days If your not sure air-dry for 5 days or longer Plus root rot is caused by fungus and bacteria that thrives in wet soil to prevent this don't ever put fresh compost or Fungicide
So my aloe leaves keep folding and are really flat. So I started to water it more, but then the outer leaves started to turn brown as a sign of too much water but the inner leaves stayed flat. Would it be a good idea to cut the middle part out and re plant it so it's not attached to the leaves with the brown spots? Idk I'm not sure what to do at this point 😅
Yes, if you think it is rotting, rot is very difficult to get rid of and your best bet is to cut the good remaining part away from the bad rotting pieces.
I just wanted to let you know that I followed your technique and propagated my aloe the same way you did in your video and it was a success! Thank you for the great video and great idea! Thank you!

Mindy Cooper oh good thinking! I did that for my spider plant but didn’t think to do that for my aloe! 🤦♀️
Thanks, you made the video two years ago. Just saw it now. How are the palnts now? I'm going to try all your suggestions!
I have a question, if I want to be using the aloe gel daily, how I can use the plant leaves without harming the plant, and if I cut a leaf does new one appear? And how long it take for new one to grow?
Method sounds & looks good...
Add subtitles/closed captions would improve your videos still further...
How long do you have to let it callus?

How did it work out?
Yea, how did it work out?
Cool!! I have 2 aloes, one always has babies, but the other never. I want to try now
Fun experiments! I am curious to see the roots of the mother plant.
Great experiment! Aloe is a wonderful plant so being able to grow more is exciting.
Gardening angel's!!❤️❤️that's the sweetest cutest thing ever. So clever too.
Thank you! Have some very twisted large aloes that I’ve been debating doing just that to... thanks for sharing :)) 🌺

Did it succeed?
Im.trying this too, no roots at week 2 but still looks healthy
Did it survive?
Gonna do it for sure! I'll keep you updated.

I’ve never seen that done before. Way to go! 👍
I might try it

Hi, I'm a newbie and wanna know if you can leave the soil moist. A friend told me they don't like wet soil and told me not to give water just becos the top soil is dry.
How often did you water the cuttings?
I ask absolutely giving this a try. My aloe vera has grown funky & is hard to place.
Did you let the cuttings dry out before potting or did you just stick them in soil right away?
At 1:59 she said she'd wait for them to dry out.
Well done. It looks dangerous, for the plant, but you made it work.I had a very stretched out Aloe and I cut it from the long trunk and the top is doing okay. I could have used your method to propagate. I'll try it next time.

Can I do a twist and pull instead of cutting it?? About how many days to callous?
From what I've seen you can repot the aloe and put the rhizomes at the surface of the soil it will make pups
You make awesome videos! I am going to try it. I have Aloe Marlothii that seem like the center head rot but it survived. I replanted it from the garden in a pot. Will see maybe it will make two heads.

Peter Searle good luck! hope it works 🤞
Worm castings will help with the growth!
Great video! Been looking for this! Aloe gel is an amazing propagation tool!
My plants roots were dying so i pulled out the middle. Can i let it sit in water for it to grow roots? Or should i let it dry and then pot it? 😊
I prefer to let it dry and callous and then pot it up. I never water propagate
Sorry this is pretty late, but does this method work on Aloe Barbadensis? I have two of them that are about a year old, but I'm scared to try this and have it fail.
Mine was a fail, but I didn't let it callous first so maybe that was it! Think I'm too impatient to be a gardener 😂
Do you have to let the new cutting set it out for a few days till the cuttings healed. or you straight away plant it in the soil? My Aloe is great but It did not have any babies.
You can put it in the soil but do not water for at least a week then and make sure your soil is dry. You don’t want it to come in contact with water until it is healed, either in the pot or sitting out.
Great info Jess...didnt think it could be done either...congrats💚💚💚👍👍👍
I wonder if you can do this for Agave?!
I have an aloe leaf that is drooping over. If I cut it off, do you think it will grow back to same size?
Jeremiah Pyles just a leaf? I don’t know, I haven’t had good luck with just leaves
@@AngelsGrove yeah. It's a leaf. And one side is more full (has more leaves than the other). Is it ok if I email you a photo of it? I also want to email you a photo of this other plant I'm not sure if it's an aloe or a Hiawatha. Please can you identify it for me? Thanks
Jeremiah Pyles ya go ahead and email it to me. I will do my best

Kriss Daniels I have not tried bonsai trees before. I would love to one day though!
You usually let your leaf cuttings get a film on the end you cut(brown healed spot) then you can plant that leaf
K W hi ya I actually did just that but none of them made it 🥺
I know ur busy but if I do that do I need it to callus over if I'm going to stick it in water
I don’t ever water propagate so I’m not super sure, but it wouldn’t hurt to probably still let it callous I would think
@@AngelsGrove I thought so too but I just wanted to get a second opinion before I do anything cuz I just got 1 aloe
I’m gonna try this.
I have to let a callus if I'm trying to put it in water
Can’t wait to see what happens
my 2 years old son did this he pulled the centre part of my aloe and i tried to save my plant following this method but both of the part of plant died.😔

Jenny Dougherty I waited about a week to let them dry and then you plant and can water them as you normally would that plant. So for mine, they got water maybe every other week
@@AngelsGrove So you want to let the cutting dry for a week before you planted?
Hon Chan yes so the wound (where it broke off) can callus over. If it doesn’t then the wound will absorb extra unnecessary moisture & cause rot!
Great Video..Thanks!
Lots of great content 🌱🌵🌿👍!
Your so beautiful!❤
I don't need to do this BC my weirdest method I do is waterlogging it everyday and the soil is not drainage plus my aloe is Air-dried since I ordered it and it's growing well and no problem has happened to my aloe Vera thanks to air-drying

Joseph Sandoval I don’t know yet. I’m going to keep the left and see if it does anything. It hasn’t so far this last month.
@@AngelsGrove ok thank you
You can. Cut a long leaf, let it callus for a week and then plant it in succulent soil and water it 4 days later and it should grow roots!

Thank you very helpful I love the music that was playing.....
Did you just put the piece in the soil, you didn't show how you planted the piece that you cut. Please show how you planted the piece you cut.
I just stuck it in the soil. Don’t water it for at least a week so it can callous over
Idk y but our Indian aloes grow crazy fast and also get soo thick and juicy with minimal care😅
it’s basically the same logic as beheading an echeveria
