House Plants - Plant glue


Expert: Will Creed - 10/30/2007

Question
What kind of glue is used to paste plants on branches. My little skinny aloe vera type plant broke when the cat knocked it off the shelf and I'd like to glue it back to the branch. Thank you for ansswer.

Answer
Nidre,
The Comments section is not the appropriate place to ask follow-up questions. Please re-submit you question but this time with all of the appropriate information including the proper identification of your plant. If you are not sure what it is, email a photo to me at wcreed@HorticulturalHelp.com.

Hi Nidre,

I'm sorry, but there is no such substance that will allow you reattach severed pieces of Aloe vera leaves or stems.

You can take the broken top section and let it dry in the open air overnight and then plant the cut end down in a small pot filled with damp potting mix. Eventually, it will grow into a new plant.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
