I have an aloe candelabra that I would like to propagate into several
plants.

If I snip off one of the "arms" will it root? If so, what method should I
use?

If you use just a leaf, I doubt you will get that to root. If you are
referring to a sucker (that you call an "arm"), that should work. A
well-established aloe in a pot will send out suckers (young shoots)
that form a cluster of plants. Cut away the suckers with a sharp
knife as close to the main stem as possible. The sucker usually does
not have roots, but pot it up and they will grow their own roots.
Avoid fertilizing the sucker for at least a year.

why the F do you respond when you clearly don'y know shit about
aloe?

There is no such thing as Aloe candelabra.

Do you mean Aloe candelabrum A.Berger?

It is an arborescent species that doesn't branch.

It is propagated from seed.

If you are asking if it can be propagated from leaf cuttings, the answer is
no.

Thanks! I will watch for the suckers.....

You will have a very long wait because Aloe candelabrum doesn't branch.

That makes you the sucker!!!!

And your posts show you utter lack of ettiquette on usenet posting

Is that all you can do, criticize? How about a good answer ass face.

I divided an aloe (not candelabrum) that had been living in a 4" pot
for a l*o*n*g time and potted up 14 separate plants! The places to
separate were fairly clear, once I got the plant out of the pot. (It
wasn't my plant.)

According to what little information is available from searching on

"Aloe thraskii" propagation

and

"aloe caldelabrum" propagation"

they may be propagated from what are variously called 'offsets',
'pups' or 'branches', and from seed.

That is true for Aloe species that branch but Aloe candelabrum isn't one of
them. That species can only be propagated from seed. If your plant does
branch, it is misidentified or a hybrid. Aloe is a very large genus with
almost 500 species and many hybrids and you cannot generalize information
for all of them.

Since you choose to ignore the answer I had given previously, you can go
chase yourself, you skanky addled ponce. You are still the ass sucker for
the whole group, you nitwit.

The clowns in the group that know nothing about the actual species claim
that it can be propagated from offsets even though I have already said that
the genuine Aloe candelabrum (note correct spelling) never branches and can
only be propagated from seed. Aloe candelabrum is not the same as Aloe vera.

Listen you clueless dweeb, I have both of Reynold's monographs on Aloe and
much of the literature on the genus right here next to me so I have far more
info on the plants you ever will in your wettest dream.

You are being a total waste of my time as usual.

If your plant has "arms", it isn't Aloe candelabrum, asshole.
