Hello everyone, I usually have the black thumb of death, but have had an
Aloe Vera plant for 5 years. Despite lots of neglect it is still alive. I
keep it in a pot indoors and it has started to flower, the ugliest flowers
I have ever seen. There is a 12 inch stem with pinky elongated bell like
flowers. This year side shoots have started to grow on the stem, at the
top is a sort of pine cone, green & white stripes, another looks like a
seed pod. In the pot is a tiny aloe plant, not joined to the roots or the
main plant , but growing on it's own, I would like to grow more for
friends, but how do I do this? Thanks D.
Aloe Vera is as tough as a hundred old boots. Just pull off the side shoot
or a leaf, allow any wounded bits to dry and then put the sideshoot/leaf in
a pot. Don't overwater as it comes from dry climes and overwatering is a
good way to kill them.
