How long does it take for aloe vera cuttings to root?

A healthy aloe cutting will root successfully in four to six weeks, although it may take longer in low temperatures or if there is too little light. Test for roots by gently tugging at the base of the cutting to feel if it has anchored to the medium.

Can aloes grow from cuttings?

Aloe Vera leaves have a lot of moisture, and tend to rot before they can take root. Growing an Aloe Vera plant from an "offset" is more effective. Aloe can be grown from cuttings, but it needs to be a stem cutting, not a leaf cutting.
