Recently, I've discovered the magical proprieties of Aloe for my skin, and now I wanna grow it in my garden. So, your tips are pretty handy.

Aloe vera is such a cool plant to grow—super easy to care for and handy for all kinds of stuff. When I wanted more of it, I just used the little offshoots (the baby plants that grow around the main one). All I did was pull one off, let the cut dry for a day or two, and pop it into some well-draining soil. It’s been thriving ever since.
I’ve also tried using a leaf cutting once—it was a bit slower, but it worked! I let the end dry out first (so it doesn’t rot) and then planted it. Just kept the soil slightly damp, and after a while, it started rooting aloe vera. Now I’ve got aloe plants all over the place—it’s awesome.
