# Hey yall. Wanted some advice. Unfortunately my aloe plant got knocked…

Hey yall. Wanted some advice.

Unfortunately my aloe plant got knocked over, and while I was repotting it I noticed that the outer leaves were starting to fade a bit. I got this plant last week, and haven’t watered it yet because the soil it came in was completely drenched. It sits on my balcony where the sun is directly on it for about 8 hours. Should I go ahead and cut these leaves away, or is there still time to save them? The shorter one does look like it sustained some damage in the fall.

Aloes are troopers. I don’t cut any of the leaves off unless they start bending causing a “knick” in the leaf. Then I cut it where the knick is \& let it do its thing. Sometimes I don’t even do that, just wait for the entire leave to turn brown.

U can gently squeeze the bottom of a healthy leaf and if it’s firm I would let it chill. If not then I would water
