Does anyone know if it’s possible to propagate aloe Vera with just a regular cutting?

What do you mean by regular cutting?

#### Tye replied on 2025-01-25

Like one of their leaves (sorry I don’t know what they’re called)

You can grow them from cutting up a leaf or just pulling off a single leaf from a small plant. You have to let the propagations callous over by letting them dry at the cut end. It could take up to 5 days to form a callous. Planting them when the cut end is not dry can lead to rot.

I’ve only propagated Aloes from pups and mine grow a ton of them. In my experience, if the pot is smaller they tend to push out more pups.

Sorry to burst your bible but is proven that aloe Vera’s don’t propagate from leaves like Shailey says only by pups or seeds
