How to Remove 'Pups' From an Aloe Vera Plant
- 1). Wait for the pup to grow at least 3 inches long.
- 2). Gently pull the pup away from the original plant. Try to keep the white root and root hairs with it.
- 3). Allow the pup to dry for 2 weeks. The offshoot will develop a dry callous where you pulled it off.
- 4). Fill a flower pot with dry potting soil, and make a little hole in the soil.
- 5). Place the pup shallowly in the hole, covering the root with soil. Make sure to plant your offshoot with the healed side down, since it won't grow the other way around.
- 6). Place the flower pot in a sunny spot.
