Did I kill a Child?

My Aloe had a little Child and was due for a repotting. So I thought I would just take out the shoot and give it it’s own pot.
Now I noticed, that it was maybe a little to early, and it lacked any roots.
Can I just put it in water or what are my best chances to keep it alive?

Looking for advice

these three aloes have been inside my apartment. I’m wondering if I should put them outside I live in Dallas, Texas and it’s extremely hot. What’s the best way to take care of these babies?

Is it too late?

Hi everyone, a few days ago I received a Plectranthus amboinicus plant, and when I repotted it, I found this little thing tucked away amongst the leaves. I had to put my hand behind it to take the photo – it kept coming out of focus. I think it’s some sort of aloe; I’ve given it its own pot, and I was wondering what I could do to try and save it. Could you help me?

The plant is currently outdoors, where the temperature is 30–35 °C during the day,

2–3 hours of light a day, facing ENE,

and around 20 °C at night.

I received the main plant a week ago and watered it a couple of times; I watered it again for the first time two days after repotting it into this pot two days ago. *

*Let me correct that: repotted 4 days ago (Saturday), watered two days ago (Monday)

Does anyone have any possible identities for these seedlings?

I’ve recently started growing Aloes from seed, with the packet saying that these are Aloe bulbillifera hybrids. I haven’t been able to find any cultivars or hybrids with Aloe bulbillifera as a parent.Does anyone knows of any cultivars or hybrids with this species as a parent?

Proplifted half-dead aloe full year later

its been a full year since my last post about her (2nd photo)! So in total, about 1 and 1/2 years regrowth. If you have an ID would also be much appreciated! I think she’s finally at a stage where we can actually see what she is 😆

Leaning Aloe

How do I get this to grow up right? It was growing down until I move the other day, now it’s leaning at the top. Don’t want to tie it up, but the top seems too heavy to support it up. Help please! 😅

I'm not sure if there's mushroom in this plants pot.

My experimental outdoor aloe has a friend visiting. I hope it's a good sign! It's really pretty.

Is this two plants now?

This aloe vera was almost a goner due to some unfortunate neglect on my part, but since getting my act together the new leaves have been growing in very healthily. I wanted to repot it and these little babies were hiding under the soil!! Is this two separate plants now? It sort of looks to me like the momma plant is forming its own roots and the connection between that and the babies is dead. Can I snip it there and plant them separately? If not, how do I plant it? Put the babies back under the soil? Or let them get some sun?

Any idea what this would be and how do I get rid of it?

They seem to be dead (or at least not moving).

Repotting: what's this brown stuff on the stem?

Background: I inherited an aloe from family. I've had it for about a year and only watered it when the leaves felt squishy, so maybe once every 1-2 months. I've realized that it hasn't been getting enough light because it's been growing tall, but sideways. Its stem was basically an S-curve. It was also growing a bunch of pups. After a bunch of research, I decided I wanted to:

  1. Cut the stem of the mother plant to re-establish roots that make it grow straight up and not sideways.
  2. Once recovered, move it outside to get more sun. I'll start in a shadier spot, then move it to full sun if it needs more.
  3. Repot some of the pups

Issue today: I pulled out and separated all the aloes from the pot and started working on the mother plant. I cut the lower roots/stem off and started pulling off the lower leaves to get it ready to sit and callous. In videos, the stem was always white. On my aloe, there are these light brown lines. The stem is firm and these lines are also firm. They bulge out a little and in some spots seem like they're coming away from the plant. What are they? Is it signs of infection/fungus that needs to be cut away? Are they the beginnings of roots that the plant was developing on its own?

One of the pups had the same coloring at the root section, but not all of them. I don't know if these are roots, or if the pup is also infected.

TLDR: I cut my big Aloe Vera's stem to let it callous before repotting and saw these brown lines. What are they? Do I need to cut above them?

Emergency Aloe Help!!

Old Aloe Plant that’s recently come into our care and I’m trying to revive it! I don’t know much about repotting them and this thing is a seriously heavy duty plant. I worry because it’s severely dehydrated and the stalk(if that’s right?) is very crooked. Any advice on repotting it, straightening its growth direction, and whether or not it’s able to be saved?

Are these pups ok?

Hi all,
These pups were potted a month ago and watered once. The soil is very dry again. Do I water again? They are a little plump but hanging down. I want to give as a gift so want it to look healthy.

rotten aloe (overwatered)

i think my roommate has been watering my plants without telling me as many of them seem to be overwatered. i could tell my aloe was very heavy as the leaves were full and it was physically heavy but now upon further inspection it looks like all the leaves are simply rotting off the roots. is there any saving this? i put it in a west facing window to get as much light as possible, we don’t really have north or south facing windows that can be used…
