Q.Aloe pups
A couple days ago I repotted my mother aloe plant and moved its three pups to their own pots. I read that the pups needed to be dry for about a week so I have not watered them. The pups are turning yellow, which is freaking me out a little as I’ve never propagated aloe before! Is there a reason they are turning yellow, or is it all part of the process?
Thank you so much!!

Normally, the callus period only takes about two days, but I find that this can be skipped with no issue. They are pretty forgiving. After about two weeks, you can begin to water, letting them dry thoroughly between watering.
What I see is that they need to be brought into a dimmer area for the recovery period. After this, they will be ready for bright light.
