Part of my aloe plant died but I have two that look like this. There are no roots, how should I propagate them? Thanks in advance! :)

I’ve propagated aloe several times with minimal loss. These are some of my most successful ones with all of their little pups who are due for a bigger pot now. My best and easiest propagation was when I just put them in some dirt (without waiting for them to callus) and kept up with watering. I hope this helps! Good luck and happy planting!

Stick it in some soil and make sure it has TONS of direct sunlight. Aloe are desert plants, so they love little water, lots of sun and humidity. It definitely looks like it might take…it’s worth a shot either way!

I’m late 😅 That’s a healthy pup! Agreed, stick it in soil and direct sunlight. I wonder how it’s doing!
