So I’ve had an Aloe for a bit, and a small amount of it is sorta yellow, yet the rest of the plant looks perfectly fine. Any suggestions?

It’s just a slight over watering.

Thank you! :)

I would remove the yellow leaf to allow the remaining healthy leaves to receive more nutrients. Since it isn’t doing well it is working harder and absorbing more than the rest of the plant.

I agree about overwatering - i always make sure mine are super dry before watering. I put my finger right down at least an inch in the soil to check! Also best to have pots with drainage (although my ignorant past-self planted like 4 babies without drainage and they’re doing fine)!
