It looks like they aren't forming directly on the trunk, so you should still be able to separate the offsets. I can see at the base of the offsets there is brown coloring, which means they should be ready to be separated from the mother. Just make sure there are some roots growing from the offsets when you separate them from the mother.
Most of them are still attached to the trunk. I don't want to kill it by taking them off. Any idea what the name of this Aloe plant is?
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Ahh, I see now. The pups that are directly attached to the base of the mother plant need to stay until they are big enough to remove. Eventually, they'll develop their own roots and be able to be separated from the mother plant.
Thank you!
