Not offhand, but I can measure it after work today. I should probably measure the plants too so I know exactly what I'm dealing with.

I am not claiming expertise. Here is my aloe in a pot about 7 inches across and high. I think I used ' tapla"s gritty mix' that a friend made up from suggestions by Tapla who posted a lot on another site.

Note, that this is in that size pot having grown UP from smaller ones. It will want a bigger pot in spring. I don't know that it's good to mess with your aloe pot right now, at all.
also note the baby shoots. I have had two kinds of Aloe: one always seemed to keep the softer spotted form (like the babies) though leaves got bigger and made a lot of side shoots. This one becomes this whorled look with really fat leaves. I don't know what if any cultural versus cultivar/species differences are going on.

Mind you, mine was severely underpotted, but just to give you an idea. It was in a 6 inch pot in that picture and I just moved it up to an 8 inch. I repotted it because it went into a clay pot (I figure, less risk staying too wet) and it was drying out daily (hence all the drying leaves).

All right, I measured the pot and what I could get to of the aloe itself. The pot is 12 inches wide at its widest part, and 9.5 inches tall. My husband was suggesting keeping the new pot wide -- perhaps 10-12 inches -- and basically half the height, about 5 or 6 inches. The plant itself is 16 inches tall when measured from the soil, 14 inches tall when measured from the break in the stem. It is about the same width, 15 inches at the widest point. The baby aloe is about 4.5 inches tall and only a couple inches across.

Well, I got most of the aloe out of the pot. The stem was broken completely through so I cut it just above the break and cut off any dying leaves. There were only a few, and it even looks like there is a small new leaf growing from the center. So, I'm hopeful. I also gently worked the baby aloe out, which I was able to remove with its roots intact. I plan to replant Sunday, if they seem to have healed enough.
I do have a couple questions about the baby aloe. I got it out with the roots, but can't tell if they're healthy. They're mostly dark colored, even after a good rinsing. But they're not slimy or mushy at all. There even seem to be little offshoots if new roots trying to grow. If they're healthy, do I get the baby aloe right back in soil or let it sit out to harden like the mother?

Help...
At some point, apparently, my larger aloe got knocked into one of those sticky yellow white fly aphid traps. Anyone who has used them knows just how sticky they are. How do I get the adhesive off my plant without damaging it further? I've heard nail polish remover, WD 40, canola or olive oil, hand lotion, peanut butter, and citrus based solvents all work, but obviously some of these wouldn't be good for the aloe...
Can't catch a break lol.

I've finally replanted both aloe plants. The pots seem like the right sizes and the soil drains pretty fast. From what I understand I should water them just until the soil is moist, put them in a shady place, and leave them be for about a month. Then I can move them back to the mostly sunny spot they were in and water sparingly.

Well, my bigger aloe seems OK but the baby isn't doing very well. The leaves are starting to brown, mostly at the tips. I did move it from a spot that's completely shaded to one with partial sun, so I'm thinking maybe it got sunburned. I know it's not under watered, so the only thing I can think of is too much sun, too much water, or it's just in shock. Poor thing. I moved it back to a less sunny spot. Is there anything else I should do for now?

Hello Lauren, to me the container of your smaller Aloe is still too big, and media seems too wet. Sometimes manifestation of over and underwatering looks the same on the leaves. I would let that plant dry out a bit more, and position in more light. Have you checked the condition of the roots below?

Aloe really likes being grown outdoors with more warmth and light, but when grown indoors and temps go lower in Fall and light duration goes shorter, then you have to adjust the watering intervals much longer. If you cannot repot smaller, try to add more grittiness to your media, add more pumice or perlite to it, so your plant does not sit in too much moisture.

Lpnj42, I wouldn't worry about the old leaves browning, the older leaves will sometimes dry up! As long as the newest growth in the center stays green and keeps growing I would say its fine! I think your right about sunburn! I have a few little aloe ciliaris offsets potted up and I was quick to move them to a sunnier position, the leaves dried up pretty fast! They returned to a nice green colour a few weeks after moving them back out of the sun.
One thing tho! I think the pot is too big for the offset? Something much more narrow would suit the offset better! and the medium would dry out faster in a small pot.
Edit: size of pots my offsets are in, sorry the pics abit blurry

If I could chime in late in the conversation here - you really don't need to separate the baby plant either. If you're putting it in a wide, shallow pot like a bulb pan, you could probably have a whole family of aloes in there with no problems. They naturally grow that way, in clumps of several crowns. This also will help prevent overwatering problems because of course, more crowns will use up more water.

Only if you wanted to have a whole new plant would you separate the baby
