How to Transplant Aloe Vera Babies

Lovely Greens is now on PATREON: patreon.com/lovelygreens

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.
