I normally check my Aloe vera garden every morning, but when I get busy, I only do it about twice a week. One time, during my walk in the garden, I found one plant that showed signs of leaf rot. I know that leaf rot spreads so fast that it can consume the whole plant in less than a day. But, at that time I got distracted by something else that I forgot to save the plant, and it took another day for me to do it.
When I checked the plant the following day, most of its leaves are already rotten, with only a few left. When I tried to pull the remaining leaves, they were holding on. It means that the base of the leaves are still healthy and still attached to the trunk.
I have done a few techniques on how to save a rotting Aloe vera plant and posted them on my YouTube channel. This time I am going to show you another way, or maybe the simplest way, to save a rotting Aloe vera plant.
First, you have to uproot the plant and remove all the rotten parts so that it will stop spreading to the remaining parts of the plant that are still healthy. Washing the plant may help remove that rotten parts that stick to the plant. It will also help you see clearly which part of the plant are rotting. It is important to remove all the rotten parts, because if you don't, the plant will continue to rot even if you already uprooted it.
After cleaning the plant, air dry it for at least one week. When the plant is totally dry and no more signs of rot. You can plant the Aloe vera back in the soil.
