# A couple months ago my large aloe Vera grew a little aloe Vera next…

_Posted by Zoe on 2025-07-18_

A couple months ago my large aloe Vera grew a little aloe Vera next to it so I moved it into this little pot. It hasn’t really grown at all, the app told me it just needed more sun but I’m thinking maybe I should repot it? Thoughts?

I don’t think it really needs a repot to a larger size but a change in soil could totally help it grow faster.

If you repot and see it’s very root bound I would recommend maybe a 1 inch upgrade in size but I think it’s fine in the if it has now.

I don’t think it needs that much more Sun because the spot in the window in the picture looks great. Although if you wanted to a little more Sun wouldn’t hurt.

I wouldn't repot this. If it didnt have many, or any roots, that's what its focusing on right now. I have gone years without repotting aloe, they don't grow roots quickly. And often just need a soil refresh.

Good to know! I’ll definitely be doing a soil refresh

Yea by first glance it seems it needs perlite and some new soil it’s green, sun looks good most of the other leaves look well. May need some food (fertilizer) depending on how often you fertilize.

Give it 40 perlite 40 potting soil without peat and 20 sand
