Question
I have two very robust aloe vera plants in pots that were accidently left uncovered during a recent, though short, freeze in Dallas.  What can I do to save them?  The centers of both pots are still standing tall, but the surrounding foliage is floppy.  Hope you can help!

Answer
Dear Lynn,

Don't water them. Let the plant heal. It will look ugly for a while but it should recover. Just watch the "crown", or center leaves. If they start to wilt or pull out if you tug slightly, your plant may be done for. However, Aloe Vera will branch, so even if the main crown dies, the rest may survive. Just be patient.

Sincerely,

Greg
