Granny's Kitchen (http://www.youth.net/kitchen/hypermail/0067.html):
"Aloe Vera can stand being root-bound, so repotting is not necessary until the
upper plant gets top-heavy. When a plant gets root-bound, it will send out more
new shoots or pups. If these are not taken out for replanting when they are 3 to
4 inches high, they will suck the life from the mother plant, which will get bright
green and spread its leaves horizontally rather than vertically. The plants will
grow in any kind of soil but good drainage is essential. The pups should be
repotted when large enough, watered well and not watered again for about 3
weeks, forcing new roots to seek water. The transplanted pup may turn grey or
brown for a while, which is normal."
