Two things came to mind immediately. How much light does your aloe get? And Does your pot have drainage holes?

#### Leaf🌱 replied on 2026-04-22

When it’s warm, I usually leave it on the windowsill when it gets sun Which is about 3-4 hours. The pot has one big drainage hole at the bottom.

It might still be a light issue 3–4 hours may not be enough. They usually need about 6–8 hours of bright light a day, or they start stretching and drooping. If you move it to stronger sun, ease it in gradually so it doesn’t burn

aloe vera need at least 6 hours of light a day. this is definitely a low-light problem, move it to another window asap
