# I recently got this aloe plant a few months ago, I just noticed that…

_Posted by Brooke on 2023-07-24_

I recently got this aloe plant a few months ago, I just noticed that a few of its leafs are really flimsy and look like they are just about to fall off of it. The color of it is also changing into a yellow/brown color. Does anyone know how I can fix it or even just tell me what could be causing it? It would help me so much, I am a new plant mom and I’m still trying to get the hang of everything.

Yes, definite overwatering. Aloe are succulents, and need plenty of Sun and watering should wait until the soil is dry throughout 🙂
