Time for a repot?

9 years ago

So I have this aloe I bought last year early to mid summer. In about 2 months it went from a few inches to many pups and becoming huge. This year it will most likely double, what you see right now will be doubled by end of September. I bring these guys in for the winter.

So my question is, should I repot or is this big enough? Initially I just wanted to move the mother plant to a separate pot. Im not moving each one to individual pots, perhaps I should look for a much bigger pot.

I ended repotting it. Made 3 new pots. I have a question, when should I water them and when can I put them in direct sunlight?

It was definitely time for a re pot. lol..
It should rest for about a week so the roots can callous before watering,
If it can take full sun it will need to be done gradually!
