So iv noticed the base of my plants stem, is thinner than the top. Wen she was transplanted from her solo cup, she had been stretching and I was advised by many to bury most of the stem to help with root growth and overall strength ~ My Question is: can I do the same thing at this stage of plant growth? Or will the buried portion end up with stem/root rot?

Been wanting to bury her upto the bottom leaves? (a little below)
Sure you can. The part of the stem you bury will also start to grow roots.

!! Just the answer I was hoping for!! 
Bobby’s on the money $$$
Just make sure to knock off any nodes with scissors or a razor, before burying…
Not a necessity, but will help with root development…

More than welcome
Speaking of tips, if/when you get into cloning, shaving the section to be planted, actually encourages root growth and aloe is fantastic!

Aloe Vera, as in the guts of the natural plant? Or Aloe Vera solutions that can b found in health food shops and supermarkets?
Ahh very good, I had been thinking about cloning
, once my feminised seedling grows big enough. I just have no clue how, or wat I’d b doing

2 with aloe and 2 with clonex,

Aloe hands down my friend @Mrcrabs.
The clonex were both single stem clones, the aloe were double (manifold) and once they were rooted grew more vigorously,
Better yield too…
