I was given these 3 baby Aloe tonight from a learning plant dad. They were very dry and they look kinda sad or droopy. Any tips? My 1st Aloes 🪴 Always wanted one 🤗 hoping to save all three 🙏🏾 Thinking I'll repot all three in one large pot but idk. More research i guess unless anyone have any helpful tips or suggestions 🙏🏾

They love light and you don’t need to water that often

You can pot them all up together but a large pot is a bad idea and will potentially kill them from root rot. You can probably fit all three into a 6" shallow terracotta with gritty soil. Roughly 50% organic matter and 50% grit like Jack's gritty mix or use your own pumice and lava rock. Only water when completely dry and I give the leaves a little squeeze and only water when they start to feel slightly soft and not as firm. Give it time to perk up and grow and you might be able to repot up to a 7" or 8" shallow terracotta by the end of summer. Make sure it's directly in a window sill or you provide grow lights for it no more than 18in away. Come spring when nights are above 40 degrees F consistently, you can put it outside where it receives morning and midday sun.
