I’m so glad you mentioned it’s forgiving that’s what I always say about it now that I have a jungle of it from a plant of it left by the former owner. On a wym I thought maybe I could revive it even though it looked like it had been there dried up for years outside in the Phoenix heat & desert winter nights! But I did & man I must say I now have sooooo much aloe Vera it’s all over the house inside & out! I also make terrariums & when the other succs die the aloe Vera always seems to stay alive! One thing to note is if you put it in water to stabilize it or make water terrariums do not cover any of the green part with water only the stem & roots & change water once a week in hot humid temps & every few weeks otherwise. If you smell rot then change water more frequently & rinse off stem area really well
