# does anyone know why the leaves on my aloe at the bottom keep turning…

_Geplaatst door 🍄🌿✨ op 2025-06-09_

does anyone know why the leaves on my aloe at the bottom keep turning red/orange/yellow and drying up and then I have to cut them off and now my aloe is bare at the bottom? it gets a lot of sun so I though it might be sunburn so I moved it out of the sun but it kept happening. The only other thing I can think of is too small of a pot?

If the leaves are drying up, the plant is underwatered! How do the roots look? If they're healthy but filling the pot, I'd size up. If the roots are healthy but it's not root bound, I'd give it a good bottom watering to make sure your soil hasn't gone hydrophobic and then keep an eye on how it does with slightly more frequent watering
