Broken Aloe Vera: Can It Be Replanted?

Joyce's 18-inch aloe snapped at the base in wind, hanging by one root.

Assessment

• Stem broken: unlikely to reattach.
• Leaves broken: plant survives, just unsightly for a while.

Attempt

Try replanting the top: let callous, then root in dry mix. But success is low for stem-break aloes. Send photo to greg8365@hotmail.com for better advice.
