Aloe Vera - How to divide pups from mother plant?
Comments (33)http://faq.gardenweb.com/discussions/2765911/how-do-i-care-for-my-aloe-vera-plant "Many aloes produce 'pups'. When the pup is fully formed, detach it from the mother plant, let it callus over for a few days in a cool, dry area, and pot it up. If it has roots, pot as you would a regular aloe, allowing for the fact that it is smaller and should be in a suitably sized pot for its size. If it has no roots, let it callus over, place the cut/broken end ON the soil, and support it with top dressing. DO NOT WATER IT-it has no roots, so watering the soil will likely cause rot. Instead, mist it every few days. Roots should start forming within a month. When growth is evident, it can be watered."...See MoreHow to save my Aloe Vera plants Qatar
Comments (35)I would worry about them dying too, but look at the dates of the posts: first one is June 16th, so photo was taken no later than that date. Second post is today-August 4th. So I am thinking that if they didn't die in about 6 weeks or longer, and had been sitting in same location they must be acclimitized well...of course that is just the way I think :) and could be very wrong! And greening of the plants on left suggest to me that even little bit of shade and little more water (drops from window AC units) makes quite a difference...See Moreis this aloe vera or some other aloe?
Comments (7)It looks like a very "messy" example of one type I grew in most places I lived. I was told that it's good for internal pain (among other things), eg bones, mucles... I tried it and it seemed to work on me. So I used it while the kids were still home. Each time we moved I'd find another same Aloe in the area. So I'd break of a branch, from the back if I could, just stuck it in the ground and it always grew. I'm not sure about the "aloin" though, maybe we were just lucky. Better check it before using. For years I've been looking for an online scource for the medicinal uses for the different species of aloe. Those that have those uses anyway. If anyone knows of any I would love for someone to provide a link or a name. Our whole family suffer from sensitive skin ailments. Thanks...See MoreCan I cut the root of an Aloe Vera pup during propagation?
Comments (2)I don't see why you couldn't cut the curve off to make it easier to pot up. I generally don't bother with rooting hormone for Aloes, but it may be helpful. Will the plant be indoors or outside? It can actually sit unpotted for a month or two. And sometimes the roots will start forming while waiting for us to pot it up. Oops - edited to reflect that the plant (it) can sit unpotted, although "I" can, too! LOL Mine are outdoors. This is a large pup that was quite bent because it was growing out from under a large plant. It had roots and I put the stem in a little slanted. It's a smaller pot that is meant to be temporary. It'll go in the ground later. You can see how the leaves were bent to the right, but now the plant is growing more straight. This plant had no roots and did well. (I kind of mangled it when removing it from the mother plant.) So I guess you could go either way - cut or don't cut. Your choice....See MoreCrenda 10A SW FL
