I left it 2 days too late when I brought my Aloe polyphylla's inside last autumn, they caught the first frost, which affected the bottom most leaves.
I was just removing them ready to back outside in a few weeks time and I found this little surprise! I've never heard of polyphylla sending out offsets, maybe this isn't a true plant? I started it from seed 2 or 3 years ago.
This one is a seedling from the same time, but it's always had a flatter appearance.
Also both plants, but especially the second have a slightly lighter coloration near the crown, and are beginning to feel soft. Could this be from under watering? They've been in my front porch since November, and I've probably neglected them a bit
