They usually make shoots which can be transplanted. I toss dozens of
them every year. It is amazing how much aloe burns in the sun,
considering that it goes into so many anti-burn preparations. It will
recover, though, if given time. I put them out for the summer and they
get burned every time, but come september you would not be able to tell.
