#AloeVera my oldest aloe vera has looks like five babies ...

#AloeVera my oldest aloe vera has looks like five babies in with it now. My question is, would it be best to transplant those babies this time of year or should I wait until spring time. οΏΌ
2ft to light, indirect
10” pot with drainage

Hello, aloe vera pups have their own roots system, so it wouldn't be an issue with splitting and potting into a separate pot.
You could repot at any time, but if you want to minimize the stress and esthetic look on all: parent & pups I'd advise for you to wait till the spring or summer time (during it's growing time) that way the plant can adjust and correct itself till the "dormancy" time in case if any of it's leaflets dry or rot during it's recovery and adjusting in individual pot.
Also, please pick a pot that is slightly bigger than the pup's ball of roots. it doesn't like tight or overly large pots. Hope it helps, thanks.
Thank you so much for that information. I will wait until spring time to separate them as I am not really looking forward to it because it’s so heavy. Now I have to find five or six or 10 people that want an Alevera plant! Lol. οΏΌ
You are more than welcome. As for the extra task that you put on yourself... No need to stress over it. Check your local library events and see when the community does the plant's swaps. If you're unable to find it, post the ad on the Nextdoor and let it do its thing.
If you have to think about everything it's too much and too stressful to be honest, πŸ™‚
