According to Master Gardeners, the most reliable way to propagate aloe plants from cuttings is by taking "pups" (small offshoots) from the base of the parent plant, which can be easily removed with a sharp knife and then potted in well-draining cactus soil, allowing the cut end to dry slightly before planting; while leaf cuttings can also be used, they are less successful and may be prone to rotting before rooting properly; always ensure the potting mix drains well and water sparingly until new roots establish.
