How to Transplant Aloe Vera Babies

If you have an aloe vera plant, you'll eventually find it growing babies. Lots of babies! Aloe vera pups can be removed from the parent plant and then potted on to make new plants and this video will show you how I do it.
I have several aloe vera plants that I use for handmade skincare and for first aid. With the annual Seed & Plant Share coming up I decided it was time to pot up my extra aloe vera pups so that I can give them away to others.
Aloe vera is well known for its use in treating burns, sunburns, and insect bites. It's also a natural astringent that can be blended into handmade lotions and creams.
This Gardening DIY project involves:
✽ Teasing and cutting the aloe vera babies (called pups) from the parent plant
✽ Allowing the plants to dry at room temperature and out of direct sunlight for 1-2 days
✽ Planting into a potting mix with good drainage -- perlite or grit mixed into multipurpose compost or use cactus compost
✽ Though I do water my plants a little bit after potting on the official recommendation is to wait a few days before watering.
✽ The plants will begin to grow new roots and leaves and can get as big as the mother plant within a couple of years.

Can safely say I now have a solid idea of what my monster of a plant needs. (3 years old and it's in the largest pot I could find in IKEA) I left it in my flat at uni for 3 months in lockdown (with no watering) and I came back thinking it would be dead from dehydration... it's made half a dozen pups (two of which are ready to repot and four more showing themselves) and is now back to full strength!
Haha! They definitely thrive more on negligence than being coddled 😂
Haha wow!
glad it didnt take over the whole house and start flowering too lol
So glad I watched this video. Bought a beautiful aloe vera today and it has a lot of babies. Will be repotting it tomorrow and had no idea , i would need to separate the babies. I was just going to repot the entire thing 😆. Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video.
Hi! Thanks for this video. It's hard to cover everything in one video but you explained everything necessary. Just one little thing I'd like to add is to choose a shallow but wider bowl type of a pot for aloe vera. I Avoid cocopeat because it retains water and rots the aloe vera since it's a succulent plant. Also, use 25% coarse sand that is available in the building supply store with 25% compost and mix well with 50% of the old garden soil that it came from so the changing shock is minimal but it gets nutrition too. Keep the newly planted pups and mother plant in a shaded area although not in the dark. You can bring the mother plant out in the sun after 7 to 10 days but let the pups remain in the shade a few days longer and bring them under direct sunlight according to their growth. It needs plenty of sunlight and too much shade will turn the leaves yellow and standing water will rot it.
What did you learn from the video? Also, why do you suggest putting the plant in a shallow pot? Thanks
I was given an aloe last spring. It was maybe 6" tall. I left it out last summer and it's out this summer. It is huge now and has 4 pups that are larger than the original plant. The pot is sooo overcrowded. I'm going to repot in a few weeks. Great video!!!...ty
Brilliant explanation on how to replant Aloe Vera.! I learned a lot from you here! Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information through practical demonstration.
ive had my aloe for a while now but this is it’s first time having babies! im so excited!! thank you for the helpful video 💚
They are the plant that keeps on giving! Great video, thank you!
Oh my gosh yes! Once you have one plant, you have plants for life :)
Thank you so much for sharing your gentle way of repotting aloe vera! It's inspiring and informative🥰
Your planting video is a Joy to Watch! Thank You So Much for the Useful Gardening Tips! 🌷🌿🌍
Great video! You answered all my questions regarding repotting and pups. Thank you!
I have a lot of them outside my apartment. I will try to get the compse. I don't usually use any but now I think mine deserve a compose since they have grown so big, and a lot of pups are with mother. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hello I'm new to your video channel I love how you break everything down and explain it very well to understand I bought my first aloe vera plant it has two leaves on it that has brown at the very tip so I ran across your Channel and I am glad look forward to seeing more of your wonderful videos and wish you well
Sweet !! Very informative..happy growing ..Cheers!!
We love doing this at end of summer to populate the house with cuttings and summer patio specimens over winter. They suit the low light indoors and also do wonders for air purity indoors. Come June, they do well enough outdoors in Southern England.
Matthew Brooker Great gardening tradition- you must have a lot of aloes :) Or do you gift them away too?
Very informative I was just thinking about how to repot appreciated
Thank you, great video and advice. I didn’t think about bringing them inside during the winter months.
And the gravel on top of the pots, is a great idea. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
wonderful ways and tutorial on gardening. thanks for sharing your knowledge on aloe vera
that green color looks so lush on them!
Boy was this timely. I was just thinking about dividing my plant to repot 6 pups. Thanks.
Wow, you sure are a breath of fresh, aloe-air! ❤😊 Very skilled and informative, thank you so much.
Very helpful video. Thank you! Clear and to the point. I shall go and re pot my Aloe Vera pups now!! 👍
Great Video! My aloe plant used to grow pups on the plant itself. They had no roots, I just took them when they started falling off, planted them, and they grew. I sadly sold the plant when I moved, but it produced at least 50 in its lifetime. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for such detailed information!
Thanks very much!
You answered a lot of my questions
that's a lovely idea seed swapping.
After 3rd intent I watched your video and that was what I'm looking for for my new aloe babies
Thanks it was very helpful
This is a great vid thank you for sharing ✅
I watered my aloe and it turned brown I really thought it was dead, I put it by another plant and sorta forgot about it, a month later it was green again with lots of pups around it, so glad it didn’t die
High five my alea also got Browne and after 1 or 2 months it rained and after same day it got bigger and green
SAME BUT IF I LEAVE IT, I DONT SEE IT IMPROVING SO I REMOVE IT FROM ITS POT THEN TRIMMED ITS ROOTS THEN AIRDRIED IT FOR A DAY. ON THE NEXT DAY, I REPOTTED IT AND ON THE NEXT DAY AGAIN, IT TURNED GREEN.
Do not overwater it..just once a week.
@@hmmwong2642 That sounds scary because if you don't let the cut dry sufficiently, you can run the risk of bacteria and rot. But it sounds like you didn't cut high enough for that to be too much of an issue
@@cijae7982 I've heard everyone say once month. They will be happier underrated than over watered. That's just how their genes are because they're desert plants. The indication to water is the dirt is fully dry and you can even let the plant shrivel and turn red, that just means they're using their water reserves and they're fine
Thanks for the advice !
thanks! this was very very helpful!
I have a monster aloe that I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. This was helpful. I was surprised you tucked the hanging roots into the soil instead of giving them a trim, but I really don't have a lot of experience with them. Thanks for the tips!
Finally someone who plans ahead. Vary informative, thank you.
thanks for this great vedio.
I was just going to repot the entire thing . Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your feed back. Great videos.. Tram
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
that was really helpful. thank you!
Great video! Thanks! I have two aloe plants and some pups have come in and I'm looking to replant them because the pots they are in now are too small...
Excellent video, thank you.
My aloë has grown so 'wild', now I can devide it and give some away!
This is not only for aloe Vera but applies to all succulents.
Thank you for the Video! Much appreciated!!!
Thank you
Went using soil rub your nails on a bar soap to prevent soil getting in your nails. I always wear gloves. Thank you for sharing.
Thank. Ya.
Amazing video. Thanks from Chennai😊
Thanks. That was helpful !
good demo
Thanks for your insight😊
beautiful
Hi
came to know so many things thanks
You or your a lover a plant so cute
Awesome planting tips 🙌🏼🌈💕
great video!!
Wonderful
Many thanks.
I just bought an aloe vera and am impressed with your video. I'm from San Diego county and had the plant growing outside--no care needed, but now I live in OR and miss my plant so much. Thanks for the re-potting video
You can still grow it as a house plant if you'd like to get a new one? :)
I Aloe Vera they are a working wonderful for my skins
Thank you . . . And my Aloe thanks you ❤
Thanks
Nice explain
Succulents are crazy easy to take care of. They rarely need watering. I'm sure in the Isle of Man you never need to water them. They easy to propagate.
thank you!
Nice Dear
Its helpful for me
I love aloe vera plant❤
Great nice one
ビデオを見せてくれて本当にありがとうね。とても役に立つんですよ。アロエベラの植物がたくさん有ります。I own and grow these wonderful creatures. I forest my house with them however, I was running out of room for these creatures until I saw your amazing video- just in time for life saving techniques- thank you also by the way these succulents really appreciate the gravel rocks since they take little water-such techniques should help accommodate there lifestyle. 凄いですよねこれ。またありがとうね。
Great video and very helpful.
I wanted to know if and how can Aloe Vera plants be taken outdoors time to time or for a short period?
Thanks for this video. You shared so much. Through guidance from a different video, I replanted an aloe and it's pup. I let the pup callus for a day, and dusted it with cinnamon. You didn't suggest that. Hopefully it lives and didn't harm the root system.
But again, thank you for sharing so much; from the sort of soil to use, topping of alpine pebbles, when to repot, when to water and feed. I feel more informed and confident from watching. ✊🏾
Cinnamon is unnecessary. Some people use it to try stimulating root growth or to keep ants away but I’ve never used it and probably never will. Just another step and expense that wastes time, money, and resources
I wish I watched this before repotting all my pups
Thank you very nice video and how old is your mother plant?? Thanks for sharing
Great video! I’ve done this before with small aloes like you showed in the video but I have one that is absolutely massive that I’m scared to try to separate. It’s in a 20 inch pot and is so big it’s literally draping over the sides and almost touching the ground. It also has these big flower bud things growing really tall out of it that I’ve never seen from an aloe before. It’s a plant that started when I separated it and planted it as a baby and when I moved away from my parents home my dad just repotted the whole thing into a huge pot and let it grow massive.
PrettyAliceMoon PrettyAliceMoon What a gorgeous plant it must be! Does it have a name? :) If it’s doing okay then I’d leave it alone too. Big aloes can be separated but I’ve not done it myself either. It can take a couple people to just lift some!
Lovely Greens • Gardening, Beauty & Beekeeping Yes it’s beautiful! It took both my dad and uncle to bring it inside during a rare Texas freeze we had this winter. I occasionally cut of leaves and use them (peeled of course) in my beauty products. They make my soaps and other things very nice. I would love to see videos of how you use them.
I imagine there was a bit of huffing and puffing! Lovely to hear that you're using it already. Beauty videos, including aloe, are on the cards this year. Stay tuned :)
Alice, what color are the flowers when they bloom?
@@PrettyAliceNight she wants to know what color your flowers
Very informative video you should be a presenter on national tv Garden show nice
That’s very kind of you to say David :) Thank you
The "BABIES"....lol like ur vid
as easy as it sound but i came here to see how to grow huge and long leaf aloe vera ...thats the most important to get the most out of it
❤❤ thanks
Super video
So I was letting my baby aloe vera dry out before transplanting them like you said. I came home from work yesterday and my dad had found them, thought I was neglecting them and had put them all in water 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Well intentioned but annoying. Hope they still survive.
FYI - Aloe vera plants grow to the size of the pot they are in. If you keep transplanting them into larger containers they can get YUGE.
like goldfish lol
I had a big parent plant. I did the same thing you did in this video. But I think I did it wrong. Didn't wait like you suggested time. Thank for this video it helped.
It helps to wait until the cuts callus over, but saying that, your plant could grow just fine. It's always better to let any succulent that's been cut to dry a bit before planting though. It increases the chance of a healthy plant and successful rooting. Next time :)
@@Lovelygreens so if there was no cut in the process, planting right away is okay?
thanks for the info, hading off to divide my aloe. Another question : Have you knitted that beautiful top ?
:)
Great tutorial! Show us how you put it in some skin care!
Dolly Perry Summer project maybe? :)
Lovely! A thought....for your 20k giveaway maybe a "all you need to make it" kit for lip balm or some other goody? The more I enjoy your lip balm the more I want to make it :)
Dolly Perry Great idea! I think I’ll be there soon enough so will get thinking.
For the price, instead of Perlite, I like to use paver sand to help with drainage. Seems to work so far on the lettuce, chives, potatoes, and mint. Now that I know what I need to do with the plant I will do that, and probably try harvesting some Aloe to make some Juice and gel.
Paver sand is also called polymeric sand. It contains polymers (chemical compounds) that help the sand to set. I wouldn't use it in any of my potting mixtures. You can get horticultural grit or sand that won't have these compounds in them, though.
I planted it right away a few died mostly because I messed up pulling it out not having the roots but most live that had roots.
Some usefull tips here. One question, how long should the new potted pups be left befire their first watering? Cheers
well done ., so how long they gonna grow again when first separated. thank you
I use Alo Vera for skin care, eye care, hair care, for burns, and for skin wounds. There are many mefical uses also.
Oops. I hope I didn’t water mine too much. I had 16 pups and re-potted them yesterday. I watered them, before reading your notes 😬 😱 I hope I didn’t kill them. Planned to gift them to friends and family. Anyway. Thank you for this detailed video. It was very helpful
I did the same today 😭 did yours survive?
I’d love to know how you use your aloe for skincare
Simply put the inner gel right on the skin.
How do you apply aloe for your skin and how often do you apply?
Should I place them in water after dividing? Or just let them be as is?
Just a thought - but, I'd be inclined to try washing away the compost with a spray hose, then I'd see what I'm doing.
Oh dear just repotted babies but I didn't wait , I just planted, hope they're okay!!
They'll probably be fine. It's far better to let them callus over though just to avoid any rot or diseases getting into your plants.
@@Lovelygreens they're looking okay, we'll in a few weeks if they actually are haha. Great video which I watched it sooner
So informative but I got a bit distracted because of the lovely birds.
:)
My First time repotting aloe Vera cuttings,i don't think I took all cuttings with roots from mother plant ,will the now not root properly and spoil
do you have any videos on Thanksgiving Cactus?
Question, if I behead mine and it grows another head or 2 can I seperate them from the main stalk? And let them callous over like all other succulents
So if I put an inch of aquarium rock Tumblr and regular compost for the kind you buy at Walmart that will work just fine?
Can you freeze the aloe leaves?
