How to Root an Aloe Plant?

Choose a healthy aloe plant with firm, green leaves

Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors to cut a pup or offset from the mother plant

Let the cut end dry and callus for 1 to 3 days

Fill a pot with well-draining cactus or succulent soil

Make a small hole in the soil

Place the callused end into the hole

Firm the soil gently around the base

Do not water immediately

Wait 3 to 7 days before watering lightly

Place the pot in bright, indirect light

Water only when the soil is completely dry

Keep the plant in a warm location

Avoid overwatering

Repot once roots are established and new growth appears
