Propagating an Aloe Vera Plant
August 22, 2004 on 7:25 pm | In Main |We have one aloe vera plant in the back yard that was starting to become overcrowded. I decided to try transplanting some of the offshoots to create some new plants, and at the same time thinning the original plant. The transplanting was easy enough, but then I guess I did not leave enough support for the main part of the plant. As I was getting ready to mow the lawn, I heard a crack, then I turned around to see a big part of the plant fall over. That section was only a little over a foot in diameter, but I would guess that it weighed 80 pounds or so. I had trouble carrying it to the side yard, when I will put in out for the next loose trash day. The original plant now has a big hole in the middle. I would guess that it will eventually fill back in, but that might not happen until next year. Cortney was not very happy about losing that much of the plant.
