How to Propagate Aloe Vera Plants (Easy!)
When the mother Aloe Vera plant sends out enough shoots to crowd the pot - it's time to replant, to separate the babies, to de-clump and de-clutter your pot. It is easy, even though it requires some preparation (like planning what you are going to do with all the baby plants, and wether you are going to re-plant the mother plant into the same, or bigger container). Watch this video to familiarize yourself with the propagation process of your Aloe Vera plant.

I love that these plants stay small in a small pot and grow big in a big pot. Pet lizards do the same thing in their aquariums or cages! Nature is so wonderful!

That is absolutely untrue. Lizards can, will and do outgrow their enclosures. This is terrible information to spread.
I would never rip my plants roots out like that. It doesn't take much effort to soak them and use a little water to make it less destructive. The algorithm must be drunk to send me here with all this terrible advice, to include lizards. For shame.

You are right - soaking the rootball and being gentle untangling the roots would be a wonderfull thing to do. I actually did it the first time I cleaned up my aloe vera pot. And then I had to do it again, and again, every year... and I got to worry less about being gentle, and learned how tough the plant is. All my plants thrived after being transplanted in this "terrible" way. That was kind of point of the video - to show how easy it is to separate and transplant overgrown aloe patch. Probably, it would be a good idea to mention soaking of the rootball in this video. I hear your frustration. Believe me, I do care about my plants, too
