Aloe Vera...

[mysty]

Hiya

I have an aloe vera plant its approx 20inches[measuring longest leaf], ive had it for about a year...although i suspect the plant itself is more like 2 years old...anyway, when can i expect to see 'off shoots'?

thx

How big is the pot it is in? I go my offshoots from my mums plant and I think that was about the same age possibly even younger, just wondered if there is room for offshoots?

thx for the reply,

the pot its in is about 25cm, there looks to be enough room to allow offshoots, wondering if im doing anything wrong, ....its growing very quick though, I even counted the leaves [lol] has 23 [12 when I bought it a year ago] all very long, with new growth coming think and fast.

Not sure what to suggest really as my plant is still pretty tiny and there is no chance of any off shoots. My mothers pot is about the same size as yours so I guess just wait and see. Sorry can't be of any more help, I am more into eadable herbs.

Aloe Vera gel is edible, I drink the gel every morning. it's health benefits internally and externally are amazing.
