Step-by-Step Guide to Saving a Broken Aloe
1. Assess the Damage
If a leaf is broken:
Determine whether it’s partially or completely detached.
If the stem or roots are damaged:
Check for rotting areas or other signs of stress.
2. Clean the Break
Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors to trim the broken or jagged edge. A clean cut promotes better healing.
Wipe away any dirt or moisture from the break using a soft cloth.
3. Apply Cinnamon
Sprinkle cinnamon powder generously over the cut or broken area.
For partially detached leaves, coat both the plant and the detached section.
If replanting a broken part, dip the cut end into cinnamon to encourage root development.
4. Let It Dry
Allow the treated area to dry for 24–48 hours.
Place the plant or detached leaf in a warm, dry location away from direct sunlight. This gives the cinnamon time to form a protective barrier.
5. Replant (If Needed)
