88 This plant only grows inside a player-built Seedbed. A Seedbed section is crafted with 5 Fertile Soil each and placed through the build menu under the Farming tab. Each section accepts up to four plants, one in each corner. Walk up to an empty corner with the Aloe Sapling in the inventory and place it from the radial menu.

1010 The Fertile Soil used to build a Seedbed is itself a crafted material, so a working farm needs a soil supply set up before any sapling can be planted.

1212 Aloe Sapling is obtained as a drop from harvesting wild Aloe plants in the world. There is no vendor that sells seeds or saplings, so the first stack of any plant has to be foraged.

1414 Growth and Harvest
1515  
1616 Plants in Windrose take roughly 70 minutes of real time to grow to full size. Growth continues while the player is offline, so a freshly planted sapling will be ready next session. When ripe, the plant changes to a fully matured model with a faint highlight on inspection.

1818 Press E on a mature plant to harvest. The harvest yields the listed crop plus a fresh seed of the same plant, so a single sapling effectively reseeds itself with no net seed loss. In practice each mature plant returns one Aloe Leaf for use in recipes and one Aloe Seeds to replant, letting a single corner of a Seedbed run indefinitely once it is going.

2222 The harvested Aloe Leaf is the reason to keep a patch growing. It is a low-tier alchemy ingredient handled at the Alchemy Stations, where it goes into basic healing salves and burn ointments, so a small home plot keeps a steady supply of cheap consumable materials without repeated foraging trips.

3131 Always harvest the seed back. Walking away from a finished plant before pressing E does not consume the seed, but breaking the plant with a tool will.Pack a stack of saplings before sailing far. Harvested wild plants drop saplings inconsistently, and a small portable supply means the home base never runs dry of starter stock.Saplings do not decay in inventory, so it is safe to overstock and replant only as space frees up in the seedbed.Fill all four corners of each Seedbed section before building another; one full section already produces a small but reliable trickle of Aloe Leaf.
