This is done mainly from seed. It is however, possible to grow this plant by dividing. This involves splitting-up large plants that have several heads. Cut the plants from each other with a very sharp, clean knife. The severed ends can be dusted with flowers of sulphur to ensure no fungal spores rot the plant at a later stage. Dry the newly severed plants out for at least two weeks before replanting.

Seeds are produced in late February and in early March of each year (southern hemisphere). The seed capsules tend to go a pale green when they are ready for harvesting, and must be semi-dry and beginning to split open before seed is collected.

Use sandy loam with a small amount of very well-rotted, sieved compost. The seeds should be sown no deeper than 0.5 cm. Do not crowd too many seeds into a seed pan, this can lead to damping off when they start germinating. The sowing medium must be well drained. Do not over-water. Too much water at a time when the seeds are germinating will ROT them. Water four times a week under warm conditions, 28°C or above. During the winter months only water once every two weeks. Move to a sunny location for the initial germination, especially during the cold winter months.

Sow the seeds in April or May (southern hemisphere). By April of the following year the plants should be strong enough to be planted into a small, 9 cm plastic pots. Once again using a well-drained potting medium.

Aloe falcata once established will grow quickly. These plants respond well to organic foodstuffs, but should not be over watered.
