# I just got this aloe yesterday and I need help with how to proceed.…

_Posted by PlantAndPetHobbiest on 2025-08-24_

I just got this aloe yesterday and I need help with how to proceed. This piece looks like it needs to be repotted but how would I go about that? Should I replant all of it or keep the smaller sturdy stocks in the nursery pot and just replant the bigger one that’s damaged? Any help is greatly appreciated :)

I would repot her and remove all that cork from her, the roots can’t grow right in it, I just removed a bunch from my new plants and they are growing so much better now

Is regular soil ok to use I’ve been using miracle grow for my plants?

Yea, I just use regular potting soil with extra perlite
