Someone gave me an Aloe Mitriformis That was starting to rot, thinking I could save it. Its really far gone and in order to cut out all the rotted pieces I had to cut it down to the base. I know if you cut an aloe’s growing point it dies, but since aloes reproduce by sending out pups, and the roots look nice and healthy, is it possible that it would do that or is the plant a lost cause?

thanks,
Julie
