Five Days After Transplant

The newly transplanted Aloe pups are doing well five days later, showing only mild shock compared to their first transplant of being separated from the mother plant. The smallest of the pups have showed symptoms of stunted growth, their small root systems still need to develop greatly. Overall color remains green with no yellowing; older leaves have softened slightly. The larger pups remain healthy, staying light green in the center with new growth. Vigor has slowed little with mild discoloration and soft spots in the center of older leaves spreading outward. Below is one of the larger pups that is undergoing a great amount of stress; showing the most discoloration on older  leaves- turning soft and dark green. It will most likely be another one to two weeks before normal health and vigor resume.
