Planting Aloe Pups
Once the end of the pup is dry, select a container that is just slightly larger than the pup. Fill it with a gritty potting mix and scoop out a small depression in the top to insert the pup’s roots. Do not water until the roots have taken and begun to grow, usually two weeks from planting.
Just so, can you propagate aloe pups in water?
Propagating from pups is the easiest method and the one with the highest success rate. If you try to propagate aloe vera from a cutting placed in water, it will most likely rot before it grows roots. The chances of the cutting rooting in potting soil aren’t much better.
One may also ask, can you propagate aloe from cuttings? Aloe Vera leaves have a lot of moisture, and tend to rot before they can take root. Growing an Aloe Vera plant from an “offset” is more effective. Aloe can be grown from cuttings, but it needs to be a stem cutting, not a leaf cutting.
