I have a huge aloe that fell to the ground when the planter broke while trying to move it. I scooped up the dirt and plant back into the planter and set it aside until I could purchase a new planter and some more soil. Today was the day to transfer the plant to its new planter and I was shocked to find that there were no roots left on the plant. Every single cluster of aloe leaves that I lifted, the roots were all rotted away.

Is there a way to salvage this plant? I sure hope so because I've had it for years and I hate the thought of losing it Ironically, I had split into into another planter several years ago and just this past winter, gave one of the planters to my mother-in-law. She put it in the back of their van and as they accelerate down our driveway, the planter fell over and dirt went everywhere! When she got home, she scooped the dirt and aloe back into the planter, but hers is doing quite well unlike mine. =\

Help!
