Found your channel through the hornworm video in 2019, and this newest video of yours is something very useful for me too!! Hoping to prop the two aloes I have. Edit: Seeing the crowded pots reminded me of Arizona, lol. Aloe is so prolific.
Yes, but the leaf must be old enough, and MUST contain some core tissue. Without the core tissue, it is impossible. So basically you cannot buy a leaf in the store and grow a new plant. This method is much more challenging and not recommended for beginner. It's best to use the pups method like in this video.
So I have been asking why it’s such a crime to use regular soil and people keep telling me I can’t do that. So after seeing this I’m going to try the regular soil.
@@GeofryMasters Yep! I was going to test it out on one of my aloe plants. I got it as a gift and didn’t want to just kill them by experimenting too much. But I will for sure be testing it out with 1 of my larger pups. It’s 5 aloe plants in a very small container. They have been stunted so I want to repot them all in bigger pots.
@@emilybh6255 thank you. I knew it was ok. I hate how people will make things seem so forbidden when in fact it’s perfectly fine. How often do you water them in the regular potting soil?
@@TriggaTreDay I don't water them or care for them on a regular basis that is for sure. I found a video from an Aloe Geek who said that Aloe plants thrive on abuse. The more you abuse them, the more they grow. Sometimes they might go a few weeks without water. I'm not very good about watering my indoor plants. I'm much better about my outside gardens where I am growing food. When I do water the aloe plants, I bottom water (putting the water in the drip pan under them so they can drink when they want). The fruit and veggies outside get cared for daily if not multiple times per day.
@@emilybh6255 that make sense. I don’t water mines that often either. Like every 2-3weeks if it’s lucky or if I see that it’s looking a bit thin. But I’m sure mines will get big in no time once I break them up and move them to bigger pots
A great idea Khang, never knew they would grow in water!
Nice to know there's someone else with the same problem as me!

How badass would this plant get in a hydro bucket? 🤣
Hey Khang. Great information. I want one. Thanks for the info. Take care
Lonestarr mastiffs gave me a couple of your KSLS and one of your Chocolate starscream. I am very excited for the choc. starscream!
That's awesome! Lonestarr Mastiff has an amazing farm!
Yay pups!!!!!
Are all aloe plants edible? I’ve never eaten my plants. I have used them for sunburns.
What is the main reason you’re grow these for?
Is it possible to propagate aloe from one leaf ?
Yes, but the leaf must be old enough, and MUST contain some core tissue. Without the core tissue, it is impossible. So basically you cannot buy a leaf in the store and grow a new plant.

Experiment! Only way you will grow your knowledge base. And this is coming from a professional commercial grower

So will using regular soil actually cause root rot if I don’t water them as much? People keep telling me I can’t.
I've been using regular potting soil and my aloe plants still grow (and have babies/ over produce).
