Hello. Aloe help needed. This is my first forum post ever. I am new to ATP but I have questions about my aloe vera. When the outer leaves are ready to be harvested and I cut the aloe vera gel out of the leaves, how long does it last? Freshness wise? Any tips for using the gel? If I cut the leave and just let the ends sit in water is that ok too? Just a few questions about the best uses for storing/using/harvesting, etc. the gel itself. Thanks!
