Because I feel it should be a staple in everyones garden; I'm posting a reminder about Aloe Vera. If this is new to you, you should really read the beginning of threads. If it's not, my appologies for the umpteenth post about this amazing plant.
View attachment 3586569I Cloned a basil plant that I brought in after last year's first frost to show off the power of Aloe Vera and pure water. This plant had lost 90% of its foliage to frost, was flowering and severely underwatered. I took 4 cuts with a butter knife (for the purpose of this post, please don't use a butter knife to take cuttings...), dipped them in an aloe vera fillet, stuck them in a clear starbucks cup with distilled water and put another clear cup on top. They got stuck in my propagation chamber for my spider plants that gets 17hrs of light and only replaced the water once in 10ish days. It's seriously that simple. Do you ALOE bro?
