Our climbing aloe was cleaned up and split this weekend. We've had this plant for quite sometime; in 2024 we bought the pot and spray painted it yellow to give it a pinapple vibe. The first picture is after the completed repot this weekend. The second picture is from March 2026 before the repot/split, showcasing how many pups it produced in that little pot. Both the pups and the main plant needed space. The third picture shows the aloe after the original re-pot on july 9th, 2024. We kept one of the pups; the second to last picture shows the main plant next to the repotted pup. We've found homes for multiple pups but still have free climbing aloe to give away.
