this is my poor aloe plant, one of my first plants actually, and a few months ago I overwatered it. I looked up what to do and it said to take the aloe plant out of the soil, let the roots dry off and repot it. then I didn’t think that was good enough so I ended up cutting off some of the leaves. theres this weird brown color that you can kinda see and the leaves are really thin even though I watered it not too long ago. there is new growth that looks really good, though. it gets full sun every day for as long as the sun is in the east but I recently realized that a part of my window was blocking most of the sun from hitting it so maybe thats the problem?

Aloe needs full sun all day long to thrive. If you can give it more light, even a grow light, that would help. Let the soil dry completely. Did you amend the soil with sand, perlite, etc to help drainage? It will bounce back with more light and less water.

no, I just use cactus/succulent soil. what would you recommend?

#### Chrissy svarede den 2024-03-09

I always add perlite and sand to my soils, even cactus soil. 2 parts soil, 1 part perlite, 1 part play sand. That’s just me though - everyone has their preferred mix. Just get that baby into full sun and it’ll bounce back, I’m sure of it!
