Today will be a short video on why 
you should separate Aloe vera pups. Take a look at this plant here, It is crowded with so many pups And there is no more room 
left for all of them to grow. But what is more concerning is that the mother 
plant is mostly affected in this situation. If you look at the mother plant closely, 
the leaves are slightly thinner, That means there is lesser gel 
than it should, when it is healthy. Also the edges of the leaves are 
slightly turning brown or maroon. And the spikes that are supposed to be 
yellow are turning to a different color. I will discuss about the signs of the changing 
colors of Aloe vera on a separate video. For now, it will be about separating these pups. Having these many pups will not be a big issue, If you are planting Aloe 
vera directly on the ground, But still, they should to be separated. The soil in this plastic pot is barely 
enough for a bigger aloe vera plant to grow. And having these pups, sharing the same soil   And its nutrients will affect 
the mother plant so much, Although not as much with the pups Specially if they are still 
attached to the mother plant. That is because the pups has a main 
root attached to the mother plant,   Where they receive nutrients from And they also have roots to 
get nutrients from the soil, That means the pups have two sources of food. While the mother plant has 
only one source, the soil, Which is also shared with the pups. And sadly, the meager nutriets it gets from the   Soil will also be shared to its 
pups that are still attached. Aloe vera is a prolific propagator, 
it produces offsets non-stop. If it likes the soil or nutrients you put 
in, the plant will give you a lot of pups. Also, I observed that if the plant 
is going through so much stress, Or is recovering from root rot, It will give you a lot of pups. Though, the pups are not as healthy 
looking compared with the pups   Coming from a healthy plant,

They can easily bounce back 
after you separate them. Now, these are the pups that I separated. It has 6 big pups and 6 medium sized pups. And I also removed 6 older leaves. The big sized pups are about 13 inches in length And the medium sized pups are 
about 9 to 10 inches in length. Now, the plant has more room to itself,   And based on my observations in the past, this 
plant will come to its full health in 4 weeks. Thank you very much for watching.
