Q.How To Re-root Aloe

Zone 32073 | rylie.pryke added on August 8, 2020 | Answered

How do I make my aloe plants re-root. Do I leave them to dry out? My aloe was dying from root rot so I did some googling and learned it was best to cut the roots at the stem. Now I have aloe with no roots. Should I let it dry out then replant?

Aloe are different from other succulents, which are normally easy to root from cuttings. Aloes don't root reliably because of their high moisture content. However, you can try.

Since it had root rot, after the cut ends heal, I would dip the cuttings in a rooting hormone that also has a fungicide.
