I just realized, I only have one extra pot to put that in…. Hmmm, so which one now?

#### Tiffany replied on 2023-07-02

How big is the pot? I would put them together

Oh yea! That’s actually a great idea! Hahaha, I didn’t think about that! 😅

Aloe is pretty difficult to get to root. I’ve tried a couple times and they just rot at the bottom :/

That’s very helpful! Thanks!

Yeah, aloe is a pain to root and it rots quickly during the process…also your aloe plant is so beautiful and blemish-free as-is; it would be a shame to hack it up!
