Hi
I have an Aloe plant that I was told is an arborescens, or Krantz Aloe. I've learned there are several varieties of arborescens and I am not sure which mine is. It has a large central trunk from which very long leaves drape down. I got it as a seedling 2 years ago and since then it has grown to be over 5 feet talll (though sadly never flowered). I have recently repotted it as it was getting root bound and I think it's generally in good health. Trouble is, there's very little info on this type of aloe available online.
It currently has a few offshoot plants growing off of the main trunk. I dont necessarily have space for additional plants (they can grow several metres tall apparently!) so I wasnt planning on propagating it. My question is, should I remove the offshoots anyway - are they harming the main plant or is it OK to leave it as is? see photos
