It will be fine. Just replant it and leave it be.

@socks i meant like the new tiny growth got ripped of so are you really sure it will get new growth out? Do I have to use anything on the plant? I still planted it in the soil I’m not sure if you got what I meant

Perhaps a picture...?

Post a photo pls...it is often difficult to know what the problem is without seeing the plant.

@rina_Ontario,Canada 5a @SoCal Stewart (San Diego, Ca Zone 10A/10B) I posted the picture

Aloes are pretty tough plants. Sounds like you were transplanting from somewhere else in your yard so you probably already know how they can grow & produce offsets.

You’ve done all you can do. Just gotta wait & see now. It at least has a chance. More of a chance than if ripped out of the ground & tossed in the trash. If the growth point isn’t totally gone it may shoot up a new leaf at some point...or an offset.

Where do you live? Any chance you have another month or so of mild weather? This is not a rootless cutting right? It does have roots?

If you are talking about the growing tip being broken off, I am not sure it will grow...it may, or may not. Am I correct in what I see?:

Sometimes, I think not too often, roots will grow from the broken off leaf. You can try, having it callus first. JMO, but Aloe vera holds lots of moisture, and possibility of rot is quite high. I would pot up the broken off tip in a container to be able to monitor soil moisture better. IIRC, it may take quite a while for roots to grow, so be patient. Original plant should grow offsets that are much easier to propagate.

@SoCal Stewart (San Diego, Ca Zone 10A/10B) i live in Doha Qatar, and next month the weather will be a few degrees below 100 and the cutting wasn’t rootless, it actually had a tiny offshoot and the roots were big and looked healthy

@rina_Ontario,Canada 5a the new tiny growth of the plant was Broken, and there is only gel and some leaf skin around the tiny tiny leaf And there isn’t even much covering the gel

I am bit confused: you replied to SoCal Stewart that it was a cutting with roots. You said to me that the tiny growth point was broken. So are there 2 different pieces?

If the growth point was tiny I wouldn't even bother with it and just get rid of the broken tip. Any plant with roots should grow without any problems. And I think that you'll see some new growth from the top, where the broken part is. I am not absolutely sure since I do not grow this aloe. I think so because it is a stem that broke off, not just a leaf. If it doesn't grow from the center where it broke off, it should at least grow more offsets from the roots.

no There is only 1 piece and that 1 piece has roots and it’s top new growth has been cut off by accident

It sounds like it’s going to be fine. It has roots and already producing an offset. I don’t think I’d water right away. Maybe give it a week before you water just so any injuries to the roots that may have occurred during the transplant can heal.

Even if no growth comes from the accidentally injured growth point I feel like it will produce offsets lower down that will replace that original plant. Leave that part alone though. The offsets will use those leaves as they develop. Those leaves will continue to photosynthesize.

@SoCal Stewart (San Diego, Ca Zone 10A/10B) i have a question, is it okay for the tiny tiny offshoot that is barely 2 cm is underground? I’m just trying to make sure I don’t kill the offshoot.

Was it originally under soil to begin with before the mother plant was transplanted?

Often that’s where they originate anyway. We don’t see them or even know an aloe offset has begun until they break the surface of the soil.

Either way, I’m sure it will be fine. It’s warm where you are and your plants are still growing. Just give it some time and it will break the surface.

SoCal to answer your question, Im not sure if it was underground to begin with because there were tens of large aloe Vera plants so I couldnt See it, but most Likely it was underground.

I’ve seen what I think you are describing and understand what you mean. I think it’ll be fine.

I’m so sorry if I’m asking too many questions for you but I think the biggest leaf of the aloe plant is pointing Inwards and I don’t think I am watering it too much because I let the soil to try out and even when I water it I don’t even water it that heavily, I have no idea on why is so nor I have any idea what to do, I tried to do research for some time but none of them are accurate @SoCal Stewart (San Diego, Ca Zone 10A/10B)

Hey! I replied yesterday but apparently my post disappeared. Let me try again...

Two things: Let it be & have patience.

Regarding the leaf, not much to be done about that. It formed that way based on what ever other plants where in its way when it was first developing. It won’t ever be straight but it is helping your plant so just leave it be. New leaves either from the center or offsets or both will form and that older leaf will eventually dry up.

As far as watering, you’re dealing with a rooted transplant and not a cutting. If this new location has the same soil as the original location where this plant was moved from then I don’t think you have anything to worry about with your watering. Just water this one the same way as you water the others.

The soil is not the same, when I took it out, the person that helped me to get it out of the ground (because it was tightly connected to the ground) told me that the soil in my garden is a little bit better than the soil it was originally growing in, the Soil it was growing in had a decent amount of sand, while mine had a little bit of clay, so it’s not the same soil, and I heard that clay soil has more Nutrients than more sandy soils, and I also saw the aloe lacking some nutrients, so I added a little bit of light fertilizer. About the soil I think it might do well because I think it’s higher quality soil

The soil here is also very heavy soil with a lot of clay. In my experience, that is not conducive to succulents as it retains too much water, promoting root rot.

I have a small bed that is maybe 2ft wide by about 5-6ft long. Before planting my succulents in the ground I added two 25 pound bags of pumice and mixed it in thoroughly to lighten the soil & increase drainage.

You may wish to consider doing something similar. Some people have difficulty acquiring pumice, so use perlite instead.

Well yeah my guy, I dont think you know how weird my soil is, the sandy soil of my garden is not very well draining, the clay part is a little well draining and dries out a Little fast like the sandy soil

Ok, Thank you as well for trying to help me
