# Hi everyone, I was bought this Aloe Vera, and the leaves are kinda…

Hi everyone, I was bought this Aloe Vera, and the leaves are kinda drooping/heavy. Is that normal? There is new growth in the middle so it must be doing ok but I wondered if the leaves shouldn’t be a bit more ridged and stand up more??? Any thoughts?

from my experience with giant aloe, this is normal! you might also want to periodically spin the pot so it’s evenly reaching towards light

mine does the same thing! i’ve tried everything to hold up the leaves, i just prop them up against any wall/window it’s nearby. also turn it around every now \& then! it’ll be fine if they droop a little!
