How do I get my plant to give me pups?

Hey Tasha! So there are a few things you can try that might encourage your aloe to produce pups, but obviously it's not a guarantee. They're usually more likely to produce them when they're quite snug in their pots, but not so snug that the pups won't have enough space to push through the soil. Proper growing medium and light also help, since a healthy aloe with ideal growing conditions is more likely to produce pups.

Terracotta pots are best for succulents because they dry out faster. They also prefer a gritty soil, like cactus soil mixed with extra perlite (50/50). But sometimes it's just an issue of the aloe plant not yet being mature enough to start producing pups, in which case it's really just a matter of patience ☺️
