Aloe vera cuttings
Aloe vera is a shrub-like succulent plant with a history of medicinal, beauty, and health uses. It's native to the Arabian Peninsula but grows wild in hot, dry climates globally, including the Caribbean, newly-released Mexico, and California. The plant contains over 75 active ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. To plant Prepare the soil: Use a cactus potting mix or a mixture of soil, coarse sand, and perlite. Fill a pot with drainage holes. Plant the cutting: Insert the base of the cutting into the soil so it stands upright. Water: Water the pot thoroughly and place it on a toasty windowsill. Monitor the cutting: Check on the cutting and water it when the compost feels dry. Transplant: When the cutting is ready, choose a larger pot and gently tease out the roots.
