Well, I just got an aloe Vera plant from a friend I was visiting who had a surplus of aloe. I just left it on our porch for a couple days, and I finally have brought it in and done a bit of research. I have a few questions.
1. I read in a couple places that the leaves can get "burned" if they're in direct sun... and it's been sitting on my porch in full sun... soooo... whoops. Should I be worried?
2. It's sort of big and I would like to prune it a bit so the leaves are less all over the place. Is that okay to do for aloe?
3. Any other tips? I used to have a patch of aloe, but I was living in a completely different climate, and we basically just stuck a couple plants in the tiny "yard" that we had and it fended for itself.
And now... pictures!
It's about 2 feet tall and a little over a foot in diameter, and it has a bunch of little baby plants, too.
