: I just visited a friend in California and with permission snapped off a couple leaves of aloe vera. Is there any way that I can plant them and make them grow?

Hi Morgan,
I've never heard of rooting a leaf, though I have rooted pups and broken stems, but you might try letting it form a callous for several days and then putting it in moist soil. Take a look here for aloe care and propagation ideas.
