Here is an update on my climbing Aloe
@Baja_Costero and
@Turbosaurus, Paula.
This is a pic of the Aloe in it's pot before repotting and separating the pups.
This pic is of them right out of the pot, showing their roots with lil pups attached. I was surprised how far the roots were from some of these pups.
This pic shows where I cut the root between the pups and the mother plant. Thank heaven for my knife sharpening skills, because this needed a very sharp knife. It was a little tricky keeping plenty of roots for both pups and mothers.
Another pic of divisions
Here are the pots I ended up with. The second one, with the aloe laying on its side, is just me wanting to see it grow from a stem. And yes, that first pot does have good drainage. I have a glass drill bit, so it's full of holes. I love that thing.
And the last one, with the biggest aloe. This tall boy has been teetering on it's side for a long time. I let it stay on it's side and bermed some soil up to barely touch along the stem, hoping to see how they grow and ramble outside. Just an experiment!
If you have advice or corrections do not hesitate. My succulents are really pupping, so I better be good at repotting.
Thank you guys. Hope you can see I followed your advice with the pics on here. If any one needs a start of this guy, just treemail me an address.
