Glad it’s not just me x

It’s a desert plant so try bright indirect light and water it sparingly seeing as those kinds of plants are used to having rain like once every two weeks

Agreed! I’d only water when the soil is dry

My Aloe is having a baby 🥰 succulents don’t need much watering, but when you do, make sure the water runs out the bottom. I also now use rainwater for all my plants and it’s made such a difference. Light-wise, my Aloe used to be 30cm from a west south west facing window which it was very happy with. I have however moved it to 0cm on an east facing window in the kitchen, as all my other succulents are there under a grow light. It tolerates the higher humidity there very well… mother and pup are still growing! I think the watering schedule on this app really helps me too.

Mine is thriving in direct sunlight in a south facing window. It’s even pushing out new growth! Water when completely dry and make sure it gets drenched, water running out of the drainage holes. 💚
