I just got this aloe vera plant from a waterlogged soil. I cut its roots and some of its leaves because they were rotting, I rinsed the plant and I am currently drying it. Can I actually grow this even though I've cut the root and only some stem is present. If so, then what should I do after drying the plant. I dunno how to post more than one picture cause I'm new here, but I hope that photo helps

Edit: I've added some photos

Are you going to plant it in the ground or a pot?

Pending your posting your photo the aloe should be fine if you pot it in a well draining potting soil, like a cactus and succulent mix. Soak the pot then leave it alone. It only needs water infrequently.

For general information search Google and YouTube for 'aloe care'.

Judging by the small size I'll assume you're putting it in a pot. The pot should be quite small as well. Max about 6 inches wide (about 16 cm).

It looks healthy. Is there something on the end of the stalk? It should be cleanly cut and allowed to air dry completely until it forms a callus. Then stick it in your gritty soil as TomTom described, about an inch deep. The soil can be slightly damp to start, but DON'T water the new planting for a week or two or three. You might need to prop up the plant with a stones until it forms roots and can support itself. That could take weeks.

When you water, saturate all of the potting mix, allow it to drain, then don't water again until the soil is dry all the way down.. From your description, it sounds like you understand that your aloe shouldn't stay wet — it must dry between waterings. Overwatering is the #1 cause of potted aloe death.

If you keep it indoors, it needs the brightest light you can provide, right by a window. Better outside in sun; okay to give some protection like shade cloth during the most intense midday sun in summer if necessary.

The tip of the leaves is red. I think it's a sign of lack of water or something. The leaves are thin and firm too, they aren't squishy at all. But I'll take your advice. I'll plant it in a slightly moist soil and see what happens after two weeks

I was wondering if there is some substance on the stalk. ?

That's the stem I left to callous

Okay
