: I tried to propagate my aloe from a leaf. I let it sit a few days to harden, put it in some soil and waited, but the leaf is rotting. What do I do? How long should it normally take to root an aloe leaf? Thanks, V

Let it callouse over 4-6 days and try useing a sands based mix or sand/peat mix.not sure how long would take.It would depend on condition of aloe.I've never has a problem so not sure.
