Question
i have to aloes and i was wondering how can i get them to produce pups?

Answer
Shiana,

Some will and some won't produce pup's. As with most plants, if you cut the main stem, they will branch out, however you also run the risk if killing the plant. If you know which variety of Aloe you have, let me know and I can give you some idea if they will produce pups or not. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Greg
