My aloe was thriving now it’s so sad. I haven’t changed anything. I brought her outside to see if that would help but nothing seems to be helping. Any ideas?

Does the pot have a drainage hole?

#### Kristina replied on 2023-02-13

It does have drainage

Have you checked the roots? Sometimes when the roots stay wet for too long- it’ll cause root rot. Mine did that and I wasn’t able to bring it back unfortunately

I haven’t checked them. I’ll do that thank you

I suspect that somethings up with the light, water or temperature. First of all: Is it grown indoors or outdoors?  
I would recommend that you repot them into a smaller sized pot and use a better draining soil. Place them in the brightest spot in your home so they get sufficient light ☀️

Thank you so much! It’s been indoors and was thriving then just fell off the wagon so I took it outside last week to see if it was just needed some sun

Looks like overwatering to me. It’s always better to underwater succulents than overwater. I’d pull back on that, check the roots, and water again when it starts physically looking dried

Thank you for your help
