✅ Support the Flower Stalk
- The stalk can grow up to 2–3 feet tall. Make sure the plant is stable.
- If needed, use a stick or soft tie to support it.
✅ Enjoy the Blooms
- The flowers last several weeks and attract pollinators.
- Do not cut them off unless they start drying or wilting.
✅ Prune After Blooming
- Once the flowers dry up and the stalk turns brown, cut it at the base.
- This helps the plant refocus its energy on leaf growth and pup production.
🔄 Aloe After Flowering: What’s Next?
- The parent plant may begin producing more pups (baby aloe plants).
- Occasionally, some aloe species may slow down leaf growth for a short period after blooming.
- You can separate and replant pups to propagate new aloe plants.
