It was so sick n sad at first. I took a mom plant that had gotten way big n was falling out of her pot, n tried to plant her babies etc n not sure what I did or if it was the trauma of it all but I was sure the babies were going to die right after and I did lose 2 of them, but I kept watering n feeding n trying with the others 🙏 & tada they're happy now 👏👏 anyone else ever forget that it's an aloe plant n treat it like a cactus? Oops yeah that one died many years ago 😅🤷🏽‍♀️ but I'm gettin

I had one I split apart and I thought I was watering too much and too much sun. So I moved them where there’s not so much sun and watered less. They happy now.

@5150oma yeah this one looks like it might outgrow this pot soon but I'm scared to split em up after what happened last time. These however are right on a window sill that gets a lot of sun 🤷🏽‍♀️ interesting how yours are happy with less sun n mine wanted more, I don't get it but whatever makes em happy 😊

@heatherdirtyhands well I didn't bother watering it hardly ever 😅 like a cactus would want or so I thought n it shriveled up n died.. these ones are loving water though, every week so 🤷🏽‍♀️ I guess it makes sense since they're full of aloe that they'd need the water 🤔😆

Maybe it needs repotted if the soil dries out that fast?
