Hello, I’m a new plant parent so im not really sure whats wrong. My baby aloe vera is so small and thin and the tips are starting to brown. Is it overwatering? is it underwatering? something else? She sprouted from an adult aloe plant that is happy and healthy so did i just replant her wrong?

I also have an aloe vera with this problem. I think it is overwatering, tips of plants and other parts start to brown to indicate no drainage, or overwatering. I would suggest laying down the watering, the app is a source for schedules of watering, not the watering amount. PlantyAnn always uses bamboo sticks to check the moisturized level and you should too, to see if any plants are overwatered!

Overwatering. Pot is also too large for such a small plant. It’s probably taking forever to dry out in between waterings.

Pot is to big and don’t water as often
