i don't separate until they have some roots. I would cut out any black and let them dry, then, maybe.

If the baby aloe vera plants are turning brown, it is possible that they are suffering from overwatering and root rot. Aloe vera plants prefer well-draining soil and should be allowed to dry out between waterings. To help revive the plants, try the following steps:

1. Remove any excess soil around the roots and gently inspect the roots. Cut off any damaged or rotten roots.
2. Let the roots dry out for a day or two, to allow them to heal.
3. Choose a well-draining potting mix, and repot the aloe vera babies in a pot with drainage holes. Avoid using regular garden soil or heavy potting mixes that retain moisture.
4. Water the aloe vera babies sparingly, only when the soil has dried out completely. Be careful not to overwater them, as this can lead to root rot.
5. Place the plants in a bright, sunny spot, but avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day.
6. Be patient, and wait for the plants to recover. It may take a few weeks for the plants to start showing signs of growth.

@41 North (Zone 7a/b, NE, coastal) @root holic @ken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5 I was able to save the aloe ! i placed it in water because it had no root , its now green again and root promise is high ! thank you for your opinions i really appreciate it !

Keep the planting medium on the dry side. Biggest thing these hate is excess moisture. Also, do NOT plant them too deep, or they will rot.

@41 North (Zone 7a/b, NE, coastal) thank you ! i have some aloe i was just gifted that started to brown after planting in dirt, they had roots already so maybe thats my issue !

Ken,

Why are you recommending Googling? This is a plant question/answer site. The laziness in suggesting using Google is baffling to say the least - if you can't provide an answer other than that, why bother?

Shyanne,

Here's an FAQ from a while back that will help you get the rooted ones growing, and if you have any unrooted there is also some information.
