_Posted by Willa on 2025-08-05_

I just got a new aloe vera and it is not looking its best. After doing some research i think that it might have something to do with that fact that it wasn’t getting much light before i got it. I moved it next to my window hoping that would help. any other suggestions?

Mine have done this in the past and I have killed a few aloes. I was overwatering them. I also moved mine under a grow light. It is doing much better. Good luck🪴

I put mine under a grow light and follow the app’s watering schedule. It’s doing great!! Good luck!
