Hi all! New plant parent & I just got an aloe plant a week ago. It’s got a brown spot growing on its far right leaf, and I’m figuring it’s overwatering. Any thoughts otherwise? For context, it is in potting soil with extra drainage, on my west facing balcony (gets direct sun starting at 12ish until the sun goes down), and I had to move it out of the sun due to high winds for the last 2 days. Thank you!

    Looks like overwatering. The soil should be a cactus/succulent mix.

    Overwatering and maybe not enough sunlight

    Put it in a cactus soil mix; this one will hold too much moisture and cause rot.
