I have an aloe vera that is huge-around 3 feet tall. I don’t know what to do with it. It’s too big to bring in. I had wanted a small aloe vera to keep in the kitchen window for burns.

Hubby saw this huge plant and bought it for me as a gift. Is there anyway to harvest it so I can not waste it? It has some babies that I can put in pots to use in the kitchen.

I have donated quite a few big plans over the years to our local botanic gardens. An aloe that big would be a nice attraction I would think.

Looks like you can freeze the gel!
