    Just a quick FYI- there is a part of the aloe that can be extracted and is edible, but the whole plant isn’t safe. I wanted to mention that because many people have their aloes in the house and it’s a good idea to keep it out of reach of kids and pets. 😊

    I received my Aloe plants from an instructor whom I assisted when my Mom died. He insisted because his big aloe had so many pups. I reluctantly took it because I was grieving and didn't have luck with succulents. My plant has grown...I read that having an aloe around helps with anxiety, sickness, depression, etc. I will be forever grateful for his plant gift! He knew I needed that plant and it's healing properties.

No water, no light exposure (it was sitting forgotten on the floor of a bright room). I just put it outdoors this week so maybe it'll get better care.

    one tip to lessen the bad smell: Cut your piece of length wise down the middle after cutting off your plant. Position the piece on a couple of napkins so that the piece is slightly tilted downward. After a few hours (2-4) A greenish - yellowish liquid will drip off of the cutting and seep into the napkin. That is the liquid that gives off the bad odor. Discard the napkin and enjoy your odorless aloe piece.

    I use LED lights. Also regular lights still offer plants something to use for photosynthesis. I let them have at least 10 hours of light a day next to a west facing window ( but the light is filtered by alot of trees). I let them dry out completely in between waterings but when I water them it's like monsoon season. My aloes look happy. If I wait too long to water they get brown tips on thier fronds and I know to water them right away.

I completely forgot about it for 3 years before I took it back. It wasn’t watered in 3 YEARS and it was sitting in front of a south facing window and it survived!

    When I just bought my Aloe Vera I noticed it wasn't doing well. I repotted it in a pot with a drainage hole. I noticed the roots were rotting because there were almost none left and they smelled really bad. I also started to water him the proper way, and after a few weeks, I noticed some roots coming out of the holes on the downside of the pot. I was very proud of myself! A little tool I like to use to check if I have to water again is to put a small wooden stick, like a skewer, in the soil the day after watering it, so it won't rot because of too wet soil. When I think it's time to water again I just take the wooden skewer out of the soil and feel if it's dry or not. When it's still moist, just put it back in there and check again after a day or two. If you take it out and it's dry, it's time to water again.

    My experience eating the Aloe (sans skin) has been problem free. I live in the Caribbean and we were all brought up with the knowledge of the benefits of this super plant. As a child into my teenage years, it was perfect to ingest (whole, preferably because it has a bitter taste), as well as for topical applications to treat acne, dryness, facial treatments, around eye treatment and leave in hair care and detangler. Our naturally grown aloes plant has not harmed me, my parents, grandparents and so on. But this is the first time I'm hearing about a toxicity warning though. But thanks for sharing the vid.

They are now two good-sized plants (less than a year later) and one is producing a pup!

    We do consume aloe here in Malaysia and in most Southeast Asia country. We usually skinned the harvested leaves and wash off any green gel on the surface which appear to be toxic. It is actually safe to consume with a proper prep and we enjoy it as desserts here. Something more natural to replace jello. And is very refreshing and cooling especially where the climate we live here is like a never ending summer. Great tips by the way. I enjoy all your content and hope to learn more from you. Best wishes from Malaysia.😊😊

    @bobflercher aloe is not toxic to eat many ppl eat it or juice it. They sell aloe Vera juice in stores! It does just as good for your insides as it does for your outsides. It’s just the Alion that can give u upset stomachs . It has -20 amino acids that aid in building muscle tissue -7 key enzymes that assist in breaking down food and boost nutrient absorption -Minerals such as calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc -and Vitamins A, C, D, E, B, B-1, B-2, B12, and folic acid. Just buy a couple plants and go from there as long as they have sunshine and warmth & are not over watered u should do fine

We set it up near the window and watched it grow. It loves to hang out in the blinds and I’m having a hard time keeping it from falling over. I noticed it has a baby as well so I’m glad you went over how to remove those.

    Hi just going to mention that aloe barbadensis Miller can be consumed raw but when cut a yellow liquid called aloeine is produced which smells like onions is formed as a protection mechanism for the plant it oxidises and forms a crusted layer to prevent rotting If you want to eat aloe Vera barbadensis Miller ( the only aloe with yellow flowers) the leaves have to be at least 3 years old, cut the leaf off and then peel the skin off and soak in water and rinse to remove the yellow liquid then you can eat it or use it on the skin.

    Deb Poirer - yes I agree with you, cool running water is the best treatment for a burn as soon as it has happened because that transfers the heat away from the skin. I think the Aloe Vera would be good for later, when the burned skin is healing, and to ease any scarring. Same concept for cuts, they should be cleaned and have pressure applied to stop the bleeding as a first step, and then once that is all sorted, Aloe Vera can help the skin healing process.
