The listing, 2 GIANT ALOE BABIES has ended.

Giant Aloe babies. This auction is for 2 plants taken from my prolific giant aloe!

I had only 1 aloe plant & did not know they bloomed until a few years ago when the spectacular stalk similar to the blooms pictured appeared. The bloom is amazing & very long lasting. The stem that the blooms appear on can be tall. I have had them reach 4 feet tall with blooms spanning 2 feet. The color pictured is the only color mine have ever displayed.

But, I started out with one tiny plant as shown in the pics. I have divided one huge pot of aloe recently, and have 20 or more babies in pots. I still have another huge family to divide and need to find homes for the babies.

The auction is for 2 babies that have already started to grow since I divided one mother plant. They are similar to the small plants pictured, but not the same plants. I will ship as bare root. . These are almost self maintenance. In the winter, I move them into my sun room and water about once a month. During warm weather, I move them into a semi-shaded area (under trees or other spots) that offer some protection until the plants acclimate to full sun.

They do fine in full sun once they adjust; however sun can cause some leaves to darken. But the tender babies should be kept in indirect sunlight until they toughen up!..

The parent plant produces hundreds of babies that even grow out the drain holes if you don't divide them.

To divide them, I roll the huge parent plant into the yard and just dump the plant & dirt ball onto the ground. Then I pull the babies from the root ball & replant them into their own pots.

I have included pics of the parent plant, a pic of the plant that still needs to be divided, a pic of the bloom that is on a 4-ft. stalk and a pic of some baby transplants. The babies will continue to grow until auction ends.

These plants are succulents that can survive out of soil and water for several days & are easy to ship.

They are all really getting pretty right now; some of the babies I transplanted this spring are starting to bloom; now they have babies coming out the drain holes even. I still have the large plant pictured in this auction that needs to be divided, but I don't have enough pots and really don't need anymore! Wish it did not cost so much to ship the big plants!
