Rooting an Aloe

[MikeT]

It has grown off a few leafs/leaflets? As a new growth. I think I can take that little bunch (three little ones) and pull them away with as much root as possible then set it in whatever medium needed to encourage rooting.

The offset will grow much faster attached to the parent plant. I'd suggest leaving it to grow bigger before detaching.

If you take the cutting off, the whole stem with several leaves that you show, then this should root nicely. However, Mike is right, it will probably grow and develop more quickly attached to the parent plant and you could do the cutting next year.

Thank you all!

I am a little discouraged but we had an incident at the flower show where a woman on a mobility scooter lost control and tipped over one of our tables full of sales plants. I rescued an Aloe 'Christmas Carol' and when I went to pot it up I found an entire leaf detached. Obviously the only thing to do is try to root it. I have it in Seramis and will keep my fingers crossed. It will take a while.
