As long as it is warm outside you can take it outside, though it is probably not a good idea to put it into full hot sun after being an inside plant. Try to give it the same light as you did inside. They are really easy to divide and soon you will have many to give away to your friends and family!

Patricia B · Answer

mine is about 2' tall can you devide the babys

360 Sod (Donna Dixson) · Answer

Yes you can. They are really easy to divide. You can let the babies get bigger if you want to ...or divide them when they are small. I seem to have better luck (probably due to watering if I let them get some size on them before dividing. Aloe seem to do better in a  crowded pot anyway.

Make sure you wait until all danger of frost has past, and, as Four Seasons says, acclimate your plant by letting it spend some time in a shady spot before moving it to more sun. Do the reverse when you bring it (and your new babies) in in the fall.

Hello, thank you for your response...it sits in a southern window with plenty of day light..little to no sun and the babies just popped out easily without disturbing the mother plant

Hello thanks for responding .. It sits in a southern window with plenty of daylight. Area was not changed from the book case... The babies popped up from the soil without damage to the mother plant...removed them with a small folk.

will do a photo today, I tend to let it dry a bit in between watering not more than once a week. I have had it for more than 4 years ! Just is not healthy looking ...

thanks for your help here is the pic

Douglas Hunt · Answer

Have you tried putting it back where it was and seeing if it recovered? If it was perfectly healthy and the only thing that changed was the location, there must be something about the new location that you can't recognize that it doesn't like.

Is there slugs or other bugs in the bottom of the pot.? I had a Christmas cactus that died from bugs eating the roots.

I would set it outside for the summer. Start in the shade and gradually move into full sun. The pups can be broken off to start new plants. Left to grow, they do take up a bit of space (2 - 3 feet) and will bloom.

Margaret · Answer

Mine always lives outdoors in the summer. It grows like crazy. This year it got brown tips a few times. I think it was from too much rain. After it dries out they go away

Lily Hile · Answer

Lin3044097 · Answer

oops, I nearly said, Yes, of course you can put the aloe outside....and realised you seem to stay in a place where it snows!   I am in Sunny South Africa and snow...nope what's that?? especially inland. so aloes here love it outside.
Keep yours inside till summer! Happy Christmas season!

DORLIS · Answer

I wish I could have a home in Missouri, Florida well in every growing zone, then I would not missour on any flowers and trees. But I am stuck in Missouri so if I have tgropicals, I bring them in for the winter.

Janice · Answer

I have aloe plants outside but success surely depends on your geographic area and how ell it is watered, etc. Aloe plants, when well taken care of, will create additional babies that can be planted in small pots and then transplanted. Some of my aloe plants have actually grown so well they have created canes with light orange blooms on them...then the canes die off but the aloe plants remain.

Redcatcec · Answer

We can summer them, but when the chill comes, in they go. Geography is important, best to you.

Dee · Answer

I keep all my aloe plants outside. I water when necessary. The mother plant is from the 1980's and I have 6 plants now growing. I give them away each year to my neighbors. I repot every year, and just take a few stalks put them in potting soil and a new one grows. They need very little water and thrive outside.
