A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2005 Should I give up my Aloe Vera fight?

Hi everyone, This link should take you to my poor aloe vera plant. It broke off and the rest died. Should I give up saving this one or is there still hope? Thanks! Barbara

I couldn't see your pic..but is it indoors? I have an Aloe outside in full sun and it just keeps spreading and growing...I even stopped watering it for a while. Its in a pretty big terra cotta pot, though and has alot of room there.

Yes, it is indoors and seemed to be doing fine. It is about 3 years old. I may have overwatered it. I think that is why most of it died. I can't seem to figure out the proper way to root it now that I have such a small piece left. Thanks for your reply.

Your link to your webshots is the link to your control panel...where you can add/edit your pictures.

Thanks Cindy, I have changed it so you should be able to view it now.

You shouldn't have any problem saving your aloe.
Here's some aloe info that might help.

If you type "aloe" into the search box at the top of the page for info on aloe at The Garden Helper, you'll get a lot of forum topics on the subject.

If your aloe doesn't make it, let me know and I'll send ya some more!

Cindy
