My dad tossed an aloe cutting on the ground when I was a kid, he meant to plant it but never got around to it....long story short it rooted itself without any TLC and became bigger than me within about 5 years. We are in Souhern California.

That is not Aloe Vera. That is Aloe Arborescens. Yes you can grow it from cuttings. Aloe Vera too can be grown from cuttings - but not leaf cuttings. Aloe Arborescens has more nutritional value than Aloe Vera and has anti-cancer properties. It is widely grown in Italy. I always wanted to have that plant. It's juice is sold more expensive than Aloe Vera.

Thats the whole aloe plant you are replanting. Its just trimmed. Can you try an plant from a real cutting of just the leave.

The way he leaned in and said you CAN grow aloe from cuttings 😩😩😩 that’s right you tell em! My family has been growing aloe from cuttings for years!

I would consider that a split not a cutting . I think the misunderstanding comes in when people think leaf cuttings can be rooted .

juat a Q... u did a complete growing guide before U tried and had success?? I love your vids.. but this seems so sketchy ...

Those are stalks of aloe, not leaves. I thought you were going to try growing by leaf.

I don't think that's considered a cutting. Maybe a root cutting.

You might have got these comments because people confused your cuttings, which have a bit of a stem, with leaf cuttings (like these you would take off an echerichia). Btw, I don't know how you would propagate aloe arborescens otherwise than from stem cuttings. I don't think it produces pups growing out of the ground like aloe barbadensis does.

My Aunt was very sick and she had to sell her house which I grew up in, she told me to get whatever I wanted from her house ...it was a full house...the only things I wanted were some of the aloe vera plants so I picked 3 of them and brought them home..my aunt passed away shortly after that and the plants didn’t survive winter....so that was very upsetting to me since they represented my Aunt .....so didn’t have the heart to throw them away, I left them in the pots and one I had planted in the ground....well a year later they pepped themselves up and are thriving I need to put them in a bigger pot they outgrew the current pot. Every time

I have been following you and a few associates for about three years now. I have to admit that I absolutely love your honesty. It takes a lot for one to try to correct themselves. I appreciate all the knowledge you have passed on. And the time you dedicate to your viewers. God Bless you and your loved ones.

As mentioned before by others, they grew very easy. On our fruit farm here in South Africa I just put the cuttings in the soil and they always grow, but then again this is where they from!. The reason we like them around is because the bees love them in the winter when there is not a lot of other nectar sources around.

My cuttings Never took...

Great video. Supposedly the blended gel can be frozen in ice cube trays and then store the cubes in freezer bag or tight sealed container. Then they are easy to grab when you need aloe. Like I said , I have not tried this, but I am going to soon

Aloe Vera is a very resilient plant. You can grow Aloe Vera from cutting I've done that several times. Thank you for sharing.

I'm starting a nusury business thanks for the tips

awesome tips . I love this plant

Nice timing. A friend just gave me aloe pups.

I love Vera using it an selling also
