What’s up everybody. Funny story, I just found this aloe plant in a dark and dusty corner of my room, forgotten for years. I’m talking 4 years minimum, this poor thing has been without a DROP of water or proper sunlight. I literally had to sweep a layer of dust off of the leaves. Since it’s still surprisingly green and the leaves still have moisture inside, I’m thinking it’s still saveable. I repotted it in some healthy new soil but have yet to water it because I’m not sure how much I should water it after such a long period of drought. Some of the leaves are slightly brown and squishy at the ends. Should I trim all the browning parts off or leave them? Okay, thank you to anybody who read this. Any advice on how I should go about watering and healing this plant would be very much appreciated. :)

    aloe is probably one of the hardiest plants in the world. you can leave the brown bits or cut them off, it won't affect the health of the plant. she looks thirsty, definitely give her a good soak all the way through. slowly introduce to higher light levels over the course of a week or two to prevent scorching. after that you'll be good to go

    I did this once with an elephant bush i thought had died. It was just a twig in dirt. Just pushed it off to the side for a year and forgot about it. Then early this year i was looking for some pots and spotted 1 tiny green leaf🌱😳😲😬🥹. Immediately watered it and now its thriving. I named her radio silence😁

    mm id say you should just lose all of those messed up leaves, im just not sure if you should go for it now, or wait for it to acclimate and do it in a month or so. The spaghetti-ness does give it character!

    Don't cut off the brown parts, its still working but dying, once it's black or snaps easly, take off.
