This Aloe maculata (I think) was gifted to me a couple months ago with an avocado plant that I sadly waited too long to recover and let die in the cold garage without watering. I finally decided today to trim all of its dead leaves. I have hopes for this because of that little bit of green under the cut, discolored leaves. How should I water this with it being rotten? Did I bury it deep enough? I watered it today before leaving it alone for some weeks. Should I not have done so? I've never worked with a cactus before but I've already accidentally killed almost all 6 of the plants gifted too me over the past year (Plumeria obtusa, gardenia Jasminoidea, and an avocado plant). Such has happened either because of overwatering, too much focus on growing veggie seeds, or the same focus on making my concrete garden bed. I don't want the same to happen to this one. I have a tad bit of hope because I hear 🌵s don't need near as much water.
