Hi everyone! I'm having trouble separating these pups from my Candelabra Aloe. I'm used to pups growing from a separate root system, and they've always been relatively easy to remove from the mother plant that way.

This is my first Candelabra, so I'm not sure if it's specific to this kind of aloe. When I repotted this one, the 3 pups (one you can see coming from the base here) all seem to be growing directly out of the parent plant, with no separate root system.

Any tips for removing them from the parent? Or should I let them stay?

Thanks!!!
