Aloe arborescens

Hello,

We have several large bushes of Aloe Arborescens. I pulled out some of the numerous shoots from the base. How do I root it?

Let the end dry for several days then insert it in soil. I don't even use rooting hormone and they almost always root. You should probably wait a bit before watering them to prevent rotting.
 
Hmmm......That was weird, like a broken record. You should dig them up to dry out. All cactus and succulent need to dry a bit after cutting. You should also not water for a week after you put them in the soil, they need to settle first. They do root very easily if you remember to do these things.
