I’m not sure why your Aloe is not growing. They do need bright light and fertilizer once in a while. Go ahead and re-pot as described in this post and your plant should be fine. Keep in mind also that over-watering or under-watering can exhibit the same symptoms…weak growth, withering leaves, and others.
Best of luck to you,
Bob

The leaves are thin and limpish and though there are some juveniles growing they are a bit sorry for themselves too. The plant is in a very large pot and the soil perhaps not the best mix. Can i confidently repot the plant(s) in smaller pots with an improved soil formula?
Fingers (though not very green ones!) crossed, Dom

Go ahead and separate all of the new plantlets and place them into new pots. If the original plant has an unmanageable long stem, it can be removed from the long stem and then re-potted . Follow the steps in the post and you should have all new plants that will thrive in their new homes.

It’s in an 8″ pot and falling over. Closer inspection reveals new growth. The (4) relative newbies “stem” from (2) weighty original plants. I need to repot.
Should I a) move in it’s entirety to a 10″ pot?
b) create (5 or 6) new homes or
c) leave intact and ‘tie’ support stix as required?
Assistance appreciated in advance.

I’m sure your aloe will be fine. Send along a photo and I’ll be glad to take a look at it.

I have an older aloe that has deterioated this past winter, I have lost a number of the older lower leaves that help it stand up. It was given to me with two main stems that were never separated. I want to repot and see if it is possible at this point to split them. Neither can stand up because of the size and weight and lean so far over the leaves are breaking.
Because they are about 10 inces each and have long bare stems now, is it still possible to salvage it? I would be happy to send a picture it that helps.
thanks
janet

The roots should start to grow right away after planting, by that I mean you will see growth from the buds in about a week or so. Once they start, they grow pretty fast. In a few weeks, the roots can reach the bottom of the pot under good growing conditions.
I think of this as an interesting and fun indoor garden project.
Bob
