Serving and Storage Tips:
Aloe vera can be kept in its pot as an ornamental plant, and if you successfully save the leaf, it may grow into a new plant with some patience.
When storing aloe vera gel from broken leaves, make sure to place it in an airtight container in the fridge. Aloe vera gel can last up to a week when stored properly.
Variations:
Using Honey: In addition to cinnamon, some people use honey as an alternative. Honey’s natural antimicrobial properties also make it a good option for sealing broken aloe vera.
