# Ok question here. I have some small aloe plants and it seems like…

Ok question here. I have some small aloe plants and it seems like they are just staying so small. They are pups from the mother plant, but seems like they have been the same size forever! Also is there a secret to encourage my snake plant to grow!! It hardly ever gets a new stalk.

How long is forever? I had a small aloe with some pups and it seems like none of the three of them have grown at all since I acquired them a few months ago, but compared to the photos, they’re about 2% larger. Very very slow growers, especially when they’re small and have little roots. Mine were about little smaller than an inch and are barely now an inch. No new leaves or anything of the sort on any of these aloe either, so I’m sure it’s just the way they grow. You could always try a slow release fertilizer for them and it will speed up growth appropriately

Unfortunately both of those plants are slow growers by nature

Put em in a big pot and fertilize (dilute accordingly)
