Trailing Aloe Vera Nature: Two-Pot Layering Beats Deep Repotting

Accept the Habit

Aloe vera IS a trailing aloe. It will not stand upright long-term. Fighting it = frustration.

Best Solution: Two-Pot Layering

(See Article 11738) Roots form on stem while attached; then sever for new upright plant.

Pup Management

• Break off; callus 2 weeks.
• Plant in gritty mix.
• No water rooting.

Flowering

First bloom = maturity milestone. Remove dead stalk after. Hummingbirds love it.
