Hey everyone! I’ve struggled with this aloe for YEARS and it seems to be dying again… I want it to live so badly, it was my grandmothers. Any advice y’all could give me on aloe plants I’d love you for thank you all!💚

Take all the aloe out of that pot and look at the roots. If they're black and mushy then cut them off. Get a smaller pot and stick them all in some good fresh chunky soil or cactus and succulent soil. Water them about every 3 weeks to a month. Put it in the sun if you can.

Ok thank you!

It definitely looks overwatered. I water mine no more than once a month if that. Be careful putting it in direct sun though it can get burned. Especially if it's really hot out.

Well I don’t water them but once a month anyways, maybe it’s that thank you!
