Under favourable conditions an Aloe marlothii inflorescence that has turned into such a profusion of fruit capsules may yield numerous new plants.

The results may be enhanced by placing the ripening panicle upside down in a sheltered spot in soft, moist soil and left undisturbed. The capsules will open, releasing seeds at their own rate. Transplanting seedlings may be some task if all goes well.
