I will be the first to admit I am a plant killer, no matter how hard I try they always end up dying, either by over or under watering, too much or too little sunlight and for some reason Basil plants hate my kitchen! So when a friend gave me a potted Aloe cutting I accepted it graciously, wondering if it knew it's days were numbered.

But this little plant is a toughy! I read up on basic care and it worked - it even had babies - or pups as they are also known - it was a litter! These little guys can be re-potted really easily and given as gifts or party favours and everyone will love them because they are so easy to look after (gift wrapping post to follow).
