Run under cold tap for 15 to 30 mins as burns can continue to damage tissue x

If it's a minor burn then Acriflex is great if you have any,

Otherwise something cooling - plain yoghurt for example ....

Ouch. Assuming it's a superficial burn and doesn't need A and E, the best remedy is cold water, and then more cold water until it hurts. Then even more cold water

Lavender essential oil is great for minor burns, ( once you've run under the cold tap ) it seems to heal it up quick without scaring

As others have said run under a cold tap and then make a paste from Bicarb of Soda and apply to the burn area and leave to dry. It will generally stop the blistering.

This is of course for a minor burn or Aloe works well.

A slice of raw onion on the burn is said to help stop the stinging.

"Aloe vera if you have some and a couple of paracetamol."

I have several plants and use the gel straight from the leaves. Useful for all sorts of things.

They produce baby plants at a ridiculous rate though. From one plant I got around Easter last year I now have around 15, with several more new pups that need repotting now.

Anyone want a baby aloe vera plant?!

Running under cold water to cool down and stop further burning then fresh air - never cover a burn as it slows down the healing unless its oozing and at risk of infection x

Bit far to deliver in person.

I wonder if it'd survive Royal Snail? They're hardy, but...

You need to remove them once they get to 2-3" tall or they start to kill the parent. You just gently pull them away from the parent plant, at the stem of the parent, and pot them in compost designed for succulents.

How do you mean the parent plant isn't well? Has it turned pinkish? Brownish?

I'm still learning with mine, but they're tough and can recover from most things. The easiest way to kill them is to over-water them as the roots rot.

There's a lot of good information on the web. Google for the symptoms you're seeing.

I'd guess it might need more light, or a bit more water. Also, check it's not root-bound. It may need to be in a bigger pot.
