I bought a Solar Flare Aloe in October or November but there was an unexpected cold snap and it froze in shipping. For a while I thought it would pull through but it didn’t. It kept looking worse and worse but in true survival mode, it started pushing out a bunch of teeny pups. I was trying to let them grow bigger before separating them but the mama started to rot and I was afraid it would spread. So I pulled out all the teeny tiny babies (no roots in sight), let them callous over and have planted them. I put a few in each pot because they are so tiny. I hope they will survive in here - I didn’t have smaller pots. I’ll have to be very mindful of watering. Fingers crossed!
