Aloe Vera Problem . . . .

[steve harrison]

Don't despair! Aloe Vera is a hardy plant which multiplies quickly. 
Its not unusual to get up to 10-20 plants after dividing a large 
specimen. I dare say putting the pieces in water may work; I just 
shove mine in a pot and off it goes. Remember they don't like too much 
water; the leaves will go mushy and rot. Happy Gardening. (Warning: it 
becomes an addiction:) )
