Propagating Aloe Vera

Question

I have a giant aloe vera leaf. Can I get advice on how to root it?

Answer 1

Our experts don't think you'd have much success with this. It's better to separate the "pups" for propagating an aloe. Here's an article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/aloe-vera/aloe-plant-propagation.htm

However, if you want to try, let the cut tip callous over for a few days then insert it in cactus soil. Here are more instructions:
