Separating aloe vera?

Question

I've just noticed my aloe vera plant has a new "baby". I'd like to separate it into it's own pot if possible, and I need to know how and when to do so.

Answer 1

My aloe is about 20 years old and now gets up to 8 babies per year.  When the babies are 6-8 inches tall, I gently separate them, repot and soak both pots well.  Never had a problem.
