Help please ❤️ Pretty seasoned gardener here, but still newish to houseplants, and also plant recovery (I like finding the rejects and Lowe’s and loving them) My dad gave me this aloe plant to revive, it’s very special to him, his mother gave it to him years ago and he trusted me to revive her and help him with it. He’s great at growing tomatoes, not aloes. Lol. First pic is when I got it July 23rd, after repotting into something way smaller, he had it in a super big pot. It barely had any roots but had a few. I changed out the soil and gave it the mix I make for my other succulents that are doing well, trimmed some of the definitely dead leaves, and put it in the only good window I have, but also under a grow light for 9 hours. Second pic is today (August 26th) she seems to be doing a lot better, got a little growth even and is looking like she’s trying to perk up more. I was out of clear pots when I replanted, but wasn’t able to get any until this week and she didn’t have a chance in what she was in before. Would it be too much shock to repot into the clear nursery pot now? I can tell there’s a better root system because the plant itself is just sturdier in the pot—if that makes sense. I would rather it be in the clear one before I give it back, but she still has a ways to go before she’s ready to go home. But I’d also prefer clear pot now just because I want to make sure I don’t screw this up in any way, it means a lot that he asked me to help her/him. Thoughts? Should I wait? Is there anything else I should be doing to help her?

    I would not repot yet, give it plenty of time to settle in. Roots grow very slowly so you’re not going to see much anyway. Otherwise lots of light (even up to 12-14 hours on light) and not a lot of water. Good luck!

    not ready for another repot yet. clear nursery pots are great for faster growing plants or plants that are more prone to issues, but they're not necessary. i have exactly three of my seventy-something plants in clear pots because they're problem children. it's definitely perked up, i suggest keeping the grow light on longer, more like 12-14hr
