Saving a Broken Aloe: Base Regeneration and Top Re-rooting

Base Section (With Leaves)

• Pot in smaller container.
• Trim some roots.
• Will fill in nicely from base.

Broken Top Section

1. Cut off ~⅓ of the top.
2. Leave ~1 inch of stem.
3. Callous thoroughly.
4. Pot in moistened vermiculite.
5. No water until rooted (or max every 7–10 days from bottom).
6. Must stake.
7. Unstaked, it will rot in 1–2 months.

Additional Options

• Send a photo for better assessment.
• Use discarded leaves for aloe gel/recipes.

Aloes are remarkably forgiving—both sections should recover.
