Anyone know what has happened to my aloe plant. This has been about a year and a half difference. I’m trying to hold on because it still grows new leaves but they grow skinny and die.

It probably hasn’t been getting enough light

Aww okay, I just bought a grow light so hopefully it helps it grow 🥹

Hi! Second that comment above. Move it right next to a window, ideally south facing, and it will grow much stronger. These plants are use to full sun in them
