I was given a pup in a cup from a parent at school and didn’t get around to planting it for a few weeks. It has gone crazy and now has 3 pups of its own!! The parent who gave it to me said it was from her grandma’s aloe and has been around for generations!! I love this and and am so excited to pass on a few of my pups! Your advice is awesome and I appreciate the tips for healthy aloe growing :)
It your plant edible? - because some are NOT edible. I happily got a plant thinking it's edible- read the label when I got home- annoyed with myself for repeating this mistake
I fell off my motorcycle has road rash on my forearm. My mother had an aloe vera plant in our house. I cut off a piece and used it for about 2 weeks to heal my arm. Not only did it heal my arm faster but you can barely see the scar to this day. I am one person who literally will swear by this plan it truly does heal you.
Gavno Nadoroge you just have to cut a peace peel it and rub the crystal into the wound , do it a couple of times a day and the wound will heal. That’s basically it...
TheGod Ofwar that’s amazing! I swear by it as well. I got a nasty oil burn from cooking on my hands and put aloe on it for a few day’s and I don’t even remember where it was since it left no scar as well
I purchased a six in pot with one plant in it about 15 years ago when I moved from Texas to Arizona. I got it at a truck stop depot on the side of the highway. It sat on my front porch and was neglected for the next 12 years. It looked pathetic. I transplanted it into my front yard about three years ago and put a couple sick pups into another pot. I now have a beautiful forest of green, gorgeous aloe plants that I harvest everyday one leaf. The ones I transplanted into a pot, I put in my back yard and it is also an awesome, bright green, beautiful display that needs to be transplanted somewhere else on my property. This plant is a gift from God. It is so healing and has so many benefits and thrives in desert or warm, dry climates. It pretty much takes care of itself, but if you give it just a little love, it will thrive and give you a 100 to 1 return on your (love) investment. Thanks for the video and info. God Bless
I just received a massively overgrown aloe from my husband's grandmother that passed away. Now i know how to rescue it - I'll have pups all over my house!
Thank you for your video! I just got my first ever aloe pups! They came to me severely over watered. My friend repotted them for me and I'm hoping to learn how to care for them to get them into full-sized plants! I'm also about to move into my first home where I'll have space and freedom to garden. I'm really excited to become a gardener!
I was able to save my aloe plant after watching you video. My plant was turning yellow and I followed your tips on watering and shade and my plant and I are very happy. Thank you so much
I keep mine in the kitchen as a burn remedy! i swear by it. it's in a west facing window, gets filtered afternoon sun, and seems happy. but now I fancy propagating from it, too. For minor burns, break off a section of leaf, squeeze out the gel right on to the burn. no pain, no scars, great.
It’s an anaesthetic too. Works on insect bites and I use it if I get a cold sore. Takes out the pain and inflammation immediately and stops it in its tracks. My favourite plant
I just smiled every time I saw the rows of aloe vera! I dealt with the purple/brown leaves thought it was dead, NOPE, came back green then sprouted pups, just needed shade :D
That was very helpful. I've had an aloe vera plant for a few months without knowing much about how to care for it. It has multiplied like crazy so now I know what to do. I'll probably get about 10-15 new plants from it. :)
@Jamal Vinesdefinitely. Out of my one aloe vera plant I've given away a bunch of them now the pot has about 50 pups at least and last year I gave my sister one now that one is huge and has a ton of pups they are like the gift that keeps on giving lol
This video is very helpful! Thank you for sharing your passion for these plants. I feel like I understand them better now. Blessings to you and your family!
"well it has some roots so i might save it !" loool jokes I've recently fallen in love with plants, my first one is an aloe vera and she is beautiful, we be talking to each other
rhianna Dover I talk to all my plants 🌱 😉 when I go to long without giving them love an talking to them they look sad an droopy. Plants are so emotional!
Thankyou very much! this was helpful to watch since I just took a pup off my mother's aloe vera, the aloe vera that she had was brown for a while so I gave it shade and water, and it's green again!
Thank you for taking time to make this video! I purchased a pup plant about 4and and half years ago and she has flourished I have transplanted one batch of pups and they didn't do to well so I'm hoping with your guidance from the video I can save the new spourts 😃 happy planting!
I just divided mine on Saturday and was told not to water for about a week..help .. I always give anything that I replant to give a drink of water..what should I do?
I didn’t realise they would be so easy to separate I was expecting them to be fully attached to the adult plant! Now I will definitely separate mine this weekend! Thank you for this video
Thank you for this video. I have learnt so much from you. I started off with just one Aloe Vera plant and that one has now become 7. I now have the confidence to separate the pups from the Mother plant. Thank you :-)
That was really helpful, thank you! My aloe plant has grown incredibly since I got it last year and it now has a pup. I'm going to wait a little more and then plant it in its new pot.
WOW! Thank you so much for the tips! I salvaged my aloe, when i got it, it was a pup, brownish, roots where at a angle. now i know why! thank you for explaining that for me. Im going to take care of it now!
Muchas gracias por este video, la información es muy importante para quienes deseamos reproducir esta maravillosa planta medicinal. Thank you for this video, the information is very important for people who need to reproduce this wonderful medicinal plant.
Thanks for the tip ( pertaining to the pups ) I bought a sad little aloe vera plant in a 3 inch pot from CVS that was in a box with about 4 others , the pot was COMPLETELY DRY I wasn't sure it would survive some maybe 4 or 5 years ago NOW I've got 2 MATURE ADULT PLANTS in a ceramic pot ( that I should not have put it in ) the original one has grown to were its on its side leaning out of the pot ( may have to break the pot ) to repot both plus 2 pups but the 2nd adult I noticed today has a bud GROWING wow I didn't even know they flowered , of course I had to look it up on line to see what it will look like when it BLOOMS . Mine are in my front picture window facing east looking VERY HEALTHY ! I noticed your plants have spots on the leaves mine are one solid color green , to bad I can send a picture in this form
My daughter and I rescued our aloe, from the trash about four years ago. Two years ago we had a heat wave and one day it was 116F, our aloe turned purple and a sickly yellow. We found it some shade and it survived. It has now had so many babies, pups, its pot is overflowing. It's a big plant with about 12 large pups. I just took about 6 out a few days ago, and am trying to figure out how to send them in the mail to my family members:)
I can't wait until my seeds come or plant I'm growing my own veggie little garden I pray this season all grow well and no bad storm or heat like last year but God is still good thank you much..
OMGosh I just wanted to stick my hands in that dirt and play! I remember repotting tomatoes for my grandpa's greenhouse business! I need to repot my aloes, but have to wait to get good potting soil. Also, when you said "STOP IT", my dog froze and sat down 🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️. Can't wait for planting season!
This is a great video! I just found my first aloe, on a roadside stand. Once it's all settled in by my window, I'm going to re-pot it. It's very overcrowded in its plastic pot, so I think I can get two big plants out of it and a bunch of little pups to share with friends! I'm nervous but so excited.
My sister gave me her pup to nurse back to health. I never planted aloe before so hopefully I don’t end up totally killing it. It’s winter time in the San Francisco Bay Area so I’m hoping the cold doesn’t do any damage. Thinking I should maybe bring it indoors for a while.
I was given a 12" aloe that had been removed from its soil and roots cut. ( to use on my sun burn) after sitting on my counter for 3 months I decided to plant it and see what happens. a year later it's thriving and has had multiple pups. What a resilient plant
Thank you. I really enjoyed your explanation and demonstration (this was especially good for me). I have a lot of aloe veras and their families are growing, so I have started to really divide them so I can share. I've done this before, but I learn more and more with time...
I truly enjoyed your video. Especially about why they turn yellow or purple. I started making my own lotions and other things. So, I've started getting this plant for that purpose. I have only 3 plants, and had them on a schedule watering them. But now im going to let them dry before watering them again. Your video was very informative for me. Waiting for those pups to grow so I can have lots of aloe Vera. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
When your trying to pull apart the roots, Submerge your root ball in water so the roots become buoyant and everything pulls away from its self very easy
Thanks fot the tip. I wanted to put mine in a bigger pot a while ago and remove the pups but I think the plant has been too long in it's tiny pot. There was almost no soil just roots and I couldn't tear them apart without braking the pups or the roots off. The roots of the different plants where so interwined. Will try watering it the next time
Mr. Chiweeni I disagree if you use any compost mix and it’s not in a drainable pot the soil can retain a lot of moisture and mould instead of drying completely causing the aloe roots to rot I would say if you use any compost mix to add plenty of stones like you get in cactus mix and definitely make sure the pots drain able so soil can completely drain and dry out till next water my aloe plants live inside and as I live in uk our weather is not suitable to keep them outdoors just my experience with soil.
Thank you Janette. I have just bought 4 Aloe Vera plants from 2 sellers here in the UK. But I am finding that even the 2 books I have bought, don't really tell you what blend of soil or mixture I should be using. I have even emailed the 2 sellers and as of today so far, I have not had a reply. I live in a bedsit in the UK. Your video is much more helpful than any books I have read so far. PC. 24.01. 2018.

@@dwayneoxford9719 There would need to be at least enough room for the pup.. I have mine in a medium/small pot with 2 pups and just a little more room in the pot ..Whats funny is I had no idea how to take care of an aloe vera plant and actually did it a favor all those times I forgot to water it...lol
Hi there I learned some from your aloe Channel, I am from Hokkaido Japan and have a precious aloe. This is the first time I have ever taken gardening seriously. When I bought my aloe it was small and I transplanted it into a bigger pot. After some months of learning on aloes, I realized that I had not one but two aloes of the same size. I was very surprised!! I want them to have their own space so they can grow bigger and healthier. Now, these 2 separate aloes have tiny little pups growing from each of them. After watching your show, I am now going to separate my aloes before winter. I worry if fall is the right time to separate them? Will their root system be able to take the separation? .
+Regina Long You have obviously done well with your Aloes. Spring might be a better time to take the pups away from the mother plant. It will be ok if you leave them and let them grow more before taking then out. Good job and' good luck!
I just bought a new Aloe.plant around 8 -10 inches tall from home Depot. I bought the soil made for cacti and succulents as well as did my best to repot it into a bigger clay pot ( found the directions for this by following your videos as well as some forums online) and now I am searching for an indoor growing light bulb since I live in a place that gets quite cold at night and also my windows don't get very much sun at all. Do you have any lighting and growing advice for my new Aloe baby? :) thanks
bought my first ever aloe vera plant off of amazon(paid like 5 bucks)....gonna give this a try.....i wanna use the aloe vera gel from the plant to put in my dreads(which are new as well) haha...(well 1yr new/old)....none the less...very informative video! thanks for sharing!
The pups you throug away you could save that because it has a one root ,it might grow ,To me it kind of so crul to that poor pups to get away has siblings and even life.😡😡😡😡
She says in the video why. She already gets/has so many, that it's not even worth the extra time, effort, water, etc into a pup that doesnt have a high chance of growing. I understand where you are coming from completely. In my case, and many others who are home growers would save the pup just in case. But when you're a full blown nursery. Its not always the most effective way of doing things. Maybe she could have a "give away"section or even discount for these types of plants where they are cuttings or pups from plants without roots, or little root growth for anyone willing to take the chance and time to hopefully get it growing.? That way, she wouldn't have to waste her time, soil, etc, while not wasting the plant.
My aloe is more emotional than me, I just don’t know how to please him. Just so stubborn and ungrateful but I love him so much. I really want to treat him right I’m learning gradually. Thanks fir the tips hopefully no more of his leaves dies on me. I now know that I don’t need to over water him
Thank you so much for this Janette. I was about to propagate the pups of my sweet aloe vera, I think I have to let them grow more first, my pups don't even have roots yet!
Thank you, we have one in our office that was getting so crowded in its pot BUT no more, i just successfully separated and repotted the pups! (well we hope it will prove to be successful)
i was gonna say, you can just pluck them at the lowest point just under the soil level that ur fingers can grab, dig in and pluck them. new roots i would say is actually good for them to grow too, gives them a chance to spread out how it likes and i feel its like an advanced hybriding technique.
Thanks for this video. I have had an aloe vascillans for several years. It’s pot is so overcrowded with pups so I’m going to put them in smaller pots. They grow pretty large so I’ll probably donate them or start giving them away as gifts.
Thank you for this.... Was really helpful and nice to go through the process with you. I've realised I've over-watered mine so am trying to remedy that now. Thanks again x
It's crazy your over flowing in aloe but I cant seem to find any where I live 😭😭😭😭 the ones I do find arent the kind I want or cost 30 bucks for a basically dying plant
My aloes r doing very well they're sprouting its January 15 th 2020 I tried to take pics but couldn't figure out how..the video was definitely educating!! Your plants are beautiful
I was given a pup in a cup from a parent at school and didn’t get around to planting it for a few weeks. It has gone crazy and now has 3 pups of its own!!

+skyym3 that's a terrific story! It must like Arizona much more. Good job!
I am.so happy to fund them, my mum grew them, now I am trying aloe Vera, jasmine and orchids, hoping i am successful, I am in the Caribbean island
Note: if you want your aloe to grow tall and not out wide, you need to put it in brighter light so it doesn’t have to spread out to get more light.
I stake mine and they are tall and elegant.
@@juliematt1997 could you explain what staking is
I have mine in the bathroom window ☺️
I just received a massively overgrown aloe from my husband's grandmother that passed away. Now i know how to rescue it - I'll have pups all over my house!
Really helpfull.i have An aloë that keeps having pups. I dont have space for IT. They Will eventually take over my room and Then the world.
Give them away ...your friends will thank you!

Thats what my mom does with her Amaryllis bulbs :)
Make some homemade aloe vera gel for your hair and skin!

Liz Adams sounds great!
Really? Tried it never works! Maybe I didn't leave it on long enough or use it frequent enough, don't know.
@Pauline Sterling. Put the gel on the burn and just leave it. Let it dry. It should take away the pain and leave little to no scarring.
It’s an anaesthetic too. Works on insect bites and I use it if I get a cold sore. Takes out the pain and inflammation immediately and stops it in its tracks. My favourite plant
Thank you for this segment. It taught me how to separate the pups give my aloe longevity. Thank you again.
I just smiled every time I saw the rows of aloe vera! I dealt with the purple/brown leaves thought it was dead, NOPE, came back green then sprouted pups, just needed shade :D
+Adrian Salud glad you had g5od results!
Thank you for that tip. No I just need to relocate the plants off my east facing porch.
Very nice aloe vera plant growing in pot, thanks for sharing to us such amazing video .
That was very helpful. I've had an aloe vera plant for a few months without knowing much about how to care for it. It has multiplied like crazy so now I know what to do. I'll probably get about 10-15 new plants from it. :)

good deal!

She could just wash the soil off first and it'd be ten times easier to get them separated and it will make the plants feel happy.

Hi can you make a video of potting mix soil for the aloe Vera. Which soil do you used.
They aren't picky at all, anything is fine just water sparingly unless you want to prune pups all the time.
Cactus Potting Soil mix or regular potting soil mix with additional perlite and building sand.
Standard potting mix with a lot of perlite will do it. I use baby Bio compost and mix in a lot of perlite.
Mr. Chiweeni I disagree if you use any compost mix and it’s not in a drainable pot the soil can retain a lot of moisture and mould instead of drying completely causing the aloe roots to rot I would say if you use any compost mix to add plenty of stones like you get in cactus mix and definitely make sure the pots drain able so soil can completely drain and dry out till next water my aloe plants live inside and as I live in uk our weather is not suitable to keep them outdoors just my experience with soil.
it really helped me a lot on how to grow and what to do to save my aloe vera plant. Thank you!
What kind of soil do you typically use when you’re transferring your pups? I’ve seen a ton of different answers but yours are beautiful.
I use Berger BM1. It's a mixture of perlite, vermiculite and peat moss.
The Neals' Homestead thank you so much for responding Most vidéo do not all about the soil 🙏
Thank you Janette. I have just bought 4 Aloe Vera plants from 2 sellers here in the UK. But I am finding that even the 2 books I have bought, don't really tell you what blend of soil or mixture I should be using. I have even emailed the 2 sellers and as of today so far, I have not had a reply. I live in a bedsit in the UK. Your video is much more helpful than any books I have read so far. PC. 24.01. 2018.

I have had my aloe for two years and it hasn't produced any pups. Is there anything I can do to make it produce them?
What I need to know too. Don't seem to be anybody that knows??
They like to be in a small crowded pot to make pups. if it’s in a massive pot with loads of room it’s less likely.
I kept my aloe in it’s first little pot (for too long 😣) it made pups 💗
Mine has definitely outgrown it's pot but no pups.
@@dwayneoxford9719 There would need to be at least enough room for the pup.. I have mine in a medium/small pot with 2 pups and just a little more room in the pot ..Whats funny is I had no idea how to take care of an aloe vera plant and actually did it a favor all those times I forgot to water it...lol
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video with us how to propagate thank you
Hi there I learned some from your aloe Channel, I am from Hokkaido Japan and have a precious aloe. This is the first time I have ever taken gardening seriously. When I bought my aloe it was small and I transplanted it into a bigger pot. After some months of learning on aloes, I realized that I had not one but two aloes of the same size. I was very surprised!! I want them to have their own space so they can grow bigger and healthier. Now, these 2 separate aloes have tiny little pups growing from each of them. After watching your show, I am now going to separate my aloes before winter. I worry if fall is the right time to separate them? Will their root system be able to take the separation? .
+Regina Long You have obviously done well with your Aloes. Spring might be a better time to take the pups away from the mother plant. It will be ok if you leave them and let them grow more before taking then out. Good job and' good luck!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much. My poor aloe plant is so crowded I can hear them crying to be saved ;)
I just bought a new Aloe.plant around 8 -10 inches tall from home Depot. I bought the soil made for cacti and succulents as well as did my best to repot it into a bigger clay pot ( found the directions for this by following your videos as well as some forums online) and now I am searching for an indoor growing light bulb since I live in a place that gets quite cold at night and also my windows don't get very much sun at all. Do you have any lighting and growing advice for my new Aloe baby? :) thanks
Also how long should they be exposed to said lighting during the day? Any information at all would help :) thanks again!
You should have a google. I've heard they need about 6 hours of indirect sunlight a day.

bought my first ever aloe vera plant off of amazon(paid like 5 bucks)....gonna give this a try.....i wanna use the aloe vera gel from the plant to put in my dreads(which are new as well) haha...(well 1yr new/old)....none the less...very informative video! thanks for sharing!
The one you tossed could be wrapped and use as air plants.
This was so helpful! Thank you so much, I was about to bin my aloe that had went purple/brown but have moved it out of the sun! Thank you
Thanks for the tips,. Just got a big aloe
I hope it does great for you! ~Janette
Watching you pull out the pups is therapeutic to me... ;-)
The pups you throug away you could save that because it has a one root ,it might grow ,To me it kind of so crul to that poor pups to get away has siblings and even life.😡😡😡😡
She says in the video why. She already gets/has so many, that it's not even worth the extra time, effort, water, etc into a pup that doesnt have a high chance of growing. I understand where you are coming from completely. In my case, and many others who are home growers would save the pup just in case. But when you're a full blown nursery. Its not always the most effective way of doing things. Maybe she could have a "give away"section or even discount for these types of plants where they are cuttings or pups from plants without roots, or little root growth for anyone willing to take the chance and time to hopefully get it growing.? That way, she wouldn't have to waste her time, soil, etc, while not wasting the plant.
Omg it’s a plant
I thought the same and for to just say she has so much she don't need it , smh horrible. What a waste of the MIRACLE PLANT!!!!
Thanks so much! I try and save every pup but I’m not seeing a lot of growth on some of them. Thanks to you I know why
Thanks for the video, I'm starting my first planting of pups,so this advice will help a lot..Im a new subscriber too:)
+Barbara G Thank you so much - Janette
I enjoyed learning about Aloe Vera. I will have to get a plant for or home. Thank you and Blessings!
May someone tell my how long it takes to get so many pups?
i feel. like there'll be more pups if you have a lot of space, and take care of it . I'll say it'll take a few months (3-6) im jk, i don't really know
To get that many, it will take 6 months-1 year, I got 4 or 5 little babies in the timespan from late spring to early winter
My aloe is more emotional than me, I just don’t know how to please him. Just so stubborn and ungrateful but I love him so much. I really want to treat him right I’m learning gradually. Thanks fir the tips hopefully no more of his leaves dies on me. I now know that I don’t need to over water him
Hi I wanted to know, what to do with tall grown aloe. My aloe vera has grown tall layers. t.i.a
trim the lower leaves then repot it in a deeper pot.
Thank you so much for this Janette. I was about to propagate the pups of my sweet aloe vera, I think I have to let them grow more first, my pups don't even have roots yet!
Good deal! I hope you get lots of healthy babies.
THIS WAS SOME REALLY GOOD INFO!
Thank you, we have one in our office that was getting so crowded in its pot BUT no more, i just successfully separated and repotted the pups! (well we hope it will prove to be successful)
I hope you have great success with your aloe veras.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
May I ask, what kind of soil mix are you using?
Vilma T. Gonzalez I was wondering the same thing. It looks light and airy.
I have two they are supposed to grow in cactus soil
Awesome video 👍
they grow new roots from none pot them regularly
i was gonna say, you can just pluck them at the lowest point just under the soil level that ur fingers can grab, dig in and pluck them. new roots i would say is actually good for them to grow too, gives them a chance to spread out how it likes and i feel its like an advanced hybriding technique.
Thanks for this video. I have had an aloe vascillans for several years. It’s pot is so overcrowded with pups so I’m going to put them in smaller pots. They grow pretty large so I’ll probably donate them or start giving them away as gifts.
Sounds great! Thanks for visiting!
Great video ! Good job
I dunno why this video made me so happy but it sure did 😊 so many little pups!
Yes, it's soooo many!
very helpful. Thank you for this.
I have been struggling with a big Aloe plant and was going to throw away today well saved and will sort it tomorrow 🙏🏼🙏🏼😊
I learned a lot...thank you
Thank you for this.... Was really helpful and nice to go through the process with you. I've realised I've over-watered mine so am trying to remedy that now. Thanks again x
I'm glad you got good out of the video. Keep learning and growing your aloe and anything else that you're interested in.
It's crazy your over flowing in aloe but I cant seem to find any where I live 😭😭😭😭 the ones I do find arent the kind I want or cost 30 bucks for a basically dying plant
where do you live lol?
Very helpful insights that are easy to understand and use. Thank you!
what is that white thing in soil (dirt)
I think it's Perlite. Its a Styrofoam type stuff.
My aloes r doing very well they're sprouting its January 15 th 2020 I tried to take pics but couldn't figure out how..the video was definitely educating!! Your plants are beautiful
Thank you!
