# Hi everyone! My guinea fowl aloe seems to be producing new shoots.…

Hi everyone!

My guinea fowl aloe seems to be producing new shoots.

Can I propagate them? They’re growing in really tricky spots though so I’m not sure what to do.

I don’t know too much about plants and still believe I have a black thumb, so as much detail and instruction as you can give me would be appreciated.

Thank youuu

Too early to propagate. They should be larger. And there is no need to remove them unless you specifically want multiples. In pic, is my gasteraloe flow, obviously not quite same as yours, but wanted to give you an idea how it can look if you just let them go.

I LOVE the way this one looks!!

Wow, this looks incredible! 🤩 That’s good to know, thank you!

Now that I look at your pic again, it looks incredibly similar to my plant (asides from the reddish tint). Now I’m not sure what exact species mine is. Would you say it’s the same as yours?

The burgundy color is from sun stress, or in my case, strong grow light. They are very similar. When I did a google search for your plant pic, it came up with gasteraloe. My lace aloe is a different variety but I think all have the little string like leaf tips. Either way, you have a beautiful plant.

I want my gaster to look like yours when she grows up

Too little to take out right now and you don't have to propagate it , it will already have roots. If you want a 2nd plant then wait until its wayyy bigger. At LEAST 3 to 5 inches.

Thank youuuu! I’d definitely want to propagate eventually but I guess I have quite a while to wait 😅
