Aloe can be divided into three seasons: spring, summer and autumn. Spring can be selected from March to April, autumn can be selected from September to October, and the best ramet time is April to June. When the temperature is suitable, it is more conducive to plant growth and survival. When dividing plants, first take the plants out of the basin, cut off the side buds beside the mother plant, slightly dry them, and then plant them in the basin.

2. Method of division

1. Take off the pot: the first step of plant division is to take aloe out of the original pot. This step seems simple, but it is very difficult. If the root system of the plant is accidentally bruised, not only the growth of the mother plant will be affected, but also the small plants planted separately will be difficult to survive. Before branching, stop water and wait for the soil to dry slightly. Hold the plant and pour it out of the flowerpot.

2. Branch: use scissors or both hands to cut off the side buds beside the mother plant. It is better to have some roots on the separated small plant. In this way, after planting, the survival rate is relatively high

3. On the basin: put the cut side buds in the well ventilated place to dry, prepare the breathable nutrient soil, and plant the side buds after spraying water properly, and then fix them.
