Here's a photo of the extra Aloe vera that is living in pots without any soil. They've been here for more than two years, though every year I dump the pots over and extract a few to plant. I have a big pot planted with them containing soil. It's very crowded now. The only way I've seen this plant killed is by letting hard freezes kill it (I usually have some of those every year) or by over watering it. The last is by far the most common, but I've never done it myself. I hardly ever give them water. They pretty much only get what drips on them from other containers or by rainfall. In winter, I just set these inside the garage.
