I've never had success with aloe pups. This came out of my fan aloe. Is there anyway to put in soil and it survive?

You can definitely try! I’d just recommend a very small pot. I don’t know if this is standard but I let my pups get pretty big before separating.

I have star aloe and an extremely leggy massawana but I will be taking the pups out this weekend now that they’re basically full size plants.

Thank you! I didn't mean to separate it! I'll try putting it in some soil

Yes!! I have had issues with Aloe in the past, I would let it dry out for months, and then water 1 time and it would rot and die 😓 i'm praying i have better luck with my Fan Aloe!

I also highly recommend rooting powder

And using cactus, succulent, palm, citrus soil mixture with extra perlite 😔🤞

I try to put as much perlite in my mix as possible and add some leca and stones 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤣
