Is my Aloe healthy?

9 years ago

Hi Guys,

I'm at a bit of a loss as to whether my Aloe plant is healthy. I posted last time as the leaves were goin thin and I may have had it in too much light. I have moved it from less direct sun, but the leaves seem super thin at the bottom and are browning at the tips?

It do have pups - 3 tiny ones growing. Could they be the issue? I used to over water my aloes so don't want to give it too much water to see if it plumps up! Any ideas would be appreciated :) I have attached a pic.

I had same problem with mine. I found the lower leaves where just dieing.
so I removed the dried leaves, and tips. and watered more till it refirmed
now it's starting to look greener. I water mine when thw leaves are soft(squidgy like raw jelly cubes)
I have mine receive morning sun only the rest of time it's in shade. (on window cil)

hope it's of some help.

I let the the dying leaves stay on. The aloe is absorbing the stored moisture and nutrients in the leaves. I remove them after they are really wrinkled. That is part of the natural process.
