Don't mind the lack of light, it's not usually like that, but I don't know what to do about my aloe vera. This is a picture from a little bit ago and it is dropping in this photo and a LOT more now. Any suggestions?

Is she possibly over watered?

#### Maggie replied on 2026-10-06

I don't think so because I water it once every two weeks and that has worked pretty well

I would try one a month, she’s getting too much water!! She prefers to almost dry out completely to like 75%

I don’t know where you live, but where I am the days are getting shorter. Which means less sun and using less water. You may have to adjust your watering seasonally
