My small to medium aloe Vera plant is turning brown and withering. Imight have overwatered it and put it in a pot with no filtration, as well as too much sun. Many things wrong I know. Is there hope for my plant I named Larry, asking for reassurance that there’s anything I can do to relive my plant.

My aloe and I have found ourself in the same position at times. I repotted mine in cactus soil and gave it drainage holes. I’m not saying it will work for sure but so far it’s worked for me.

I did that today! Hope it comes back stronger.

All the things you mentioned … get her into drier soil and see if you can save the roots

My aloes do that every summer when I put them outside. I think it's the sun... even though I take the time to adjust them gradually, they still turn brown in the early summer. Becareful about the overwatering but it will, most likely, bounce back for you.
