Q: A friend has recently given me an aloe vera plant for my home office. It is currently quite small and it looks healthy, with upright, green leaves. I have never had one before and am wondering if it will benefit from pruning as it grows. If so, when is it best to do this, and should entire leaves be removed from the base?
A: Although you probably won't need to prune your aloe vera just yet, there are a few key reasons why you may need to in the future.
