Mass Aloe Vera Pup Removal: Breaking Off at Main Stem

Simple Separation

Aloe vera pups attach at the main stem base. They can be broken off by hand (twist firmly) or cut with sterilized knife. No need to unpot the mother plant.

Critical: Confirm It's Aloe Vera

Many clustering aloes exist (A. aristata, A. brevifolia, etc.) with different propagation needs. Photo ID recommended if unsure.

Pup Aftercare

1. Callus broken end 1 week in shade.
2. Plant in gritty mix; water sparingly.
3. Bright indirect light.

Mother plant will continue producing pups—it's a renewal cycle.
