I was given these two big aloe plants the pots are about 20in tall they had babies so I took them out and that’s some of the little pots I now know they need different soil what combos do yall recommend the big pots also don’t have drain holes should I drill some any other aloe tips appreciated I have no idea what I’m doing
Congrats on your new babies!! I would recommend a soil that’s marketed for “cacti/succulents” (I use sungro bc they’re local to me) or you can google blends to make at home! My biggest recommendation would be to try and find pots that are significantly less deep. Something short and wide tends to be good for aloe as their roots don’t grow very deep, but get wide. This will help prevent any root rot. They’re also gonna want a ton of light
