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, recent 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 heated 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.
