Also, might anyone know why my aloe vera has been acting funky like this? It seems to be flattening and not reaching upward as much anymore. I believe i have been watering it correctly allowing the water to completely drain out bottom and not stand in it. I am using a plastic pot for about a year now (terracotta may be better long term). I also am having an issue where the middle leaves tend to flip back and forth and some leaves getting flat at the ends. Between watering i have allowed the soil to dry out completely and am using the miracle gro succulent mix. Any advice greatly appreciated thank you!

To far from the sun. Also they love terra cotta pots

More sun! Here is mine this morning. He’s on a partially shaded porch with afternoon sun and is loving it.
