#AloeVera

I think I have way too many pups on the this #Aloe and this plant is certainly too big to move inside in cold weather. It’s so cool.

What on earth do I plant this huge thing in?

There’s also a couple of #MotherOfThousands in there. It is green and lovely now, I will post an update soon!

6” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 month ago
Hi Mikie! I had some like that! I went to Home Depot and bout a half whiskey barrel- it’s that plastic material I can’t remember the name. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« I put them all in it and they were awesome. I even got huge flowers from 2 of the 5 I potted together!! This photo shows my banana in the 1/2 whiskey barrel…
maybe divide into separate pots?
Eipeen has a good idea. You can also take a few pups out so it won’t fit so bulky into the new pot!
Ha! I love the name! You can definitely divide it and have around 3-4 plants. They are hardy plants! Just not cold hearty. They do best in cactus soil/succulent potting soil with extra perlite and sand. I didn’t get to mine in time last year and it died. Hope you can get your plant indoors!

I know it’s hard β€” but you can always just pull the pups out and thin the plant to make her smaller. She’ll still be just as happy and it will maintain its size.
Maybe you should separate them into separate pots
Here I was thinking I was looking at 3 pots.
@SillyPlantGirl I love the nursery pots! Don’t worry though, I have drilled so many holes in them that they couldn’t even hold water in the bottom of the sea!😭🀣🀣
@Imissmydeaddog I don’t want to stop the offshoots and I don’t know which one is the mother plant. I have just been taking offshoots out. You come over and repot them for me? πŸ‘€πŸ€£πŸ™πŸΌ there’s so many! I love it. I need to post an updated photo. They’re green and gorgeous now except they’re still a mess of a ton of aloe.😒🀣🀣
@SuperblyLilac it comes inside at Halloween. But how? That’s the question of the year. They need their own house. I have two of these. One with small aloes and one with big aloes. If anybody gets burned in my neighborhood, send them to my house!πŸ’―πŸ€£
@SillyPlantGirl see I have a huge barrel pot but I thought that they aren’t supposed to be in deep pots, I’m thinking of using that one. Walmart has them marked down to $10 right now.πŸ’

@Mikie I think it’s one of these 🀣🀣🀣🀣
@Imissmydeaddog I agree, maybe one is the dad? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ€£ I think the big one all alone is the mother and the one closest is the daughter and then the rest must be grandchildren? Or they’re running a foster home scheme! 😭🀣 those are the two i’m keeping and have three that grew sideways that I’m putting in the holes in the side of an orchid pot with some zebra plants and sedum in the top.
