Found this in the trash, is it possible to revive it?
I’m currently in Florida, I plan on putting it in a large pot— how would I go about doing that?
It hasn’t rained much lately so I’m not sure how much water it’s gotten, lots of sun.
What about the mini one?
That looks perfectly healthy to me like someone just took it out of the ground and tossed it moments ago. You could put this in some dirt, maybe give it a week and then water. You’ll have them coming out of your ears in no time.

The mini one looks spectacular, I’m feeling a little questionable about the bigger one cuz of the browning but I would still give it a shot! Def put the smaller one in a smaller pot tho and wait a bit to water both. Have fun!

Check for pests, in case that was the reason it was in the trash.
Make sure to use very well-draining soil when you pot it. I would use cactus/succulent soil with extra pumice mixed in and a terracotta pot. The little one can go in a very small pot.
Water thoroughly when the leaves feel less firm and give it a lot of light. It doesn’t need full sun all day but some direct is good.

I have a similar plant to this, and they’re quite easy to propagate. Here’s the video I followed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-9MiLIodZc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-9MiLIodZc) …I started with a plant maybe 3 times the size of that pup ~5 years ago and now have about 5 pots full of them lol

My aloes are going on 45 years old. Along with so many babies since then

I got my aloe from the garden trash, someone cleaned their garden and threw it away.
Plant it in a well draining soil that gets enough direct sunlight for the baby to become big and strong.

Both look healthy, the older one has some stress but can thrive. It doesn’t need a big pot, look up pot sizing for aloe. it’s a hearty plant and completely looks salvageable.

It looks worth trying! I would!
