Thanks for replying Christine! Yes, I had that baby Aloe growing green (very green! compared to mother plant --I'm still looking to see if I took a photo that ever included it) in plain water plastic cup! It had a developed root system and I was following instructions (general) for converting all my water only plants back to soil as unfortunately, we have West Nile carrying mosquitos that love to take over indoor pots of water, so only solution is to convert everything that is doing great in water to either full hydroponics (missing the pots I have lots of the Deco system clay pellets)---or back to soil. Back to soil was easy choice as I already had the original pot the plant was already growing two years in it. Sad story---- it got knocked over in its soil pot a year ago---- so I put it in water But now with new soil in the same exact pot that it came out of with a new water developed root system back in January 2014 I repotted it and had it in good sunny location (exactly where it thrived for two years prior). So its a mystery to me what I could have done wrong....(right, it originally fell over all by itself, who knows what reason was...I did not touch it, found it on floor one sad day).... There is more green on the tall stalk, but one of the side ones withered away now.... so strange, I'm still being hopeful as long as its green somewhere, right? What did I do wrong so I don't repeat the same error! Thanks again for replying!

I would be interested in the rooted one if you still have it. You can e-mail me at jolly_rancherscream@hotmail.com

It is a hybrid of aloe and gasteria, Gasteraloe, probably 'Flow' I have one that got similar - not as etiolated as yours (see some pace between the leaves - that could be from being in same position too; thickness of the stem and the color of leaves); but as it aged, stem got bit too long. It grows quite well and compact, but got top-heavy with growing thick, juicy leaves and many offsets, some growing in-between the leaves. I just beheaded it few days ago. Here is the plant before:...and after - top on left, and 3 offsets:I am leaving them to callus for a while. They will go into very gritty mix (mine is very inorganic), and will be kept dry for a while. I'll keep them in partial shade since it has been extremely hot, until they start growing roots. They would grow roots even out of soil, I am not 100% sure since I didn't behead it before) but am very comfortable to suggest it - 99% sure :). I will likely keep at least 1 unpotted just to prove it :) They will grow just like aloes - see - THIS THREAD - where I showed beheaded Aloe variegata. There are many posts with photos by other members in this thread showing other plants being beheaded. Bottom part - original/beheaded stem with roots - should continue growing and having offsets too. Btw, I would recommend for you to improve soil - it seems to be somehow water retaining: I never has so many dried up leaves with black spots. Very likely from occasional too much water or soil staying too wet for too long. That could be improved on very easily :)
