How Do I Transplant A Loe Vera Plant?

Answer Question

Answer 1

The Aloe Vera plants that I have had in the past have had a shallow, spreading root system; so when it was time to transplant I would choose a wide planter, rather than a deep one. Use a pot with a drainage hole, or provide a 1-2 inch layer of gravel in the bottom of the pot to ensure adequate drainage. Use a good commercial potting mix with extra perlite, granite grit, or coarse sand added. You may also use a packaged 'cacti mix' soil. Fertilize yearly, since the soil's nutrients will be depleted. Remember that they need plenty of sunshine if you plan to keep them indoors. And wait until the soil is completely dry before giving it one or two cups of water, otherwise you will over water it and it will die and that is a lesson I learned the hard way.

Answer 2

Well, there are two ways which can help you. One remove all the parts of aloe vera (the leaves)and and then put it in a pot with soil and water. This way new and better plant will be grown. You can also cut a leaf of the plant and put it in soil in a pot. If you want better growth of your plant, the first option will help you a lot. For better care of the plant the following website will be useful.

First of all take the plant out of its existing pot. Brush off the soil and try to find the base of the plant. In order to divide the plant, you would have to find where the offset are attached to the mother plant, then cut the offshoots from the main plant alongwith the roots attached. Keep the divided plant unpotted for a day or two then put them in a standard potting mix in a sunny location. Start watering them after a week or so.
