As you can see it was WELL past time to do something with this Aloe plant. It's a good decade or so old and very neglected - but it just keeps going and growing. Yes, I've used the gel every so often and I have transplanted some of the "pups" but, oh my, I really haven't paid attention to this in such a long time!
I started reading about the "right" way to save this plant, then gave up and did it the same way I always have. Every bit of it was up out of the soil just laying loose on top. So, I grabbed up
all the sections, trimmed them down and the dead stuff off. I generally put them in potting soil but this time I decided to put them in a seed starter mix, nice and light and dry. I put in just a bit of water to pack the plants down, a little stability. That's it. There are now eleven (11) small pots of Aloe on the window sill over my kitchen sink. I hope they take - they always have. We'll see... :)
