# Help. Whenever I water my aloe plant a little bit it’s leaves get all…

Help. Whenever I water my aloe plant a little bit it’s leaves get all mushy. It looks very thirsty though. This is exactly why I am not a fan of succulents. 🫥

Also I planted some jade plants and they are shriveling up.

how much sun is this little guy getting ?

#### Lotus biscuits replied on 2023-05-23

It’s getting medium light. I’ve tried to give it full Sun but the leaves got dried to I moved it back to its original spot.

They also prefer a warmer climate so if it’s to cold it won’t grow

#### Lotus biscuits replied on 2023-05-23

It gets cold in my room at night bc of the AC. I’ll try to raise the AC temp a little bit to prevent the plant from getting too cold.

Should the aloe be in full sun

#### Lotus biscuits replied on 2023-05-23

No. Aloes may seem they need a desert environment but they don’t need extremely bright light.

I have an Aloe Vera, and have pretty much the same problem. I think the temp. Is one of the issues, but I have heard from almost 10 sources, not including my own experience, that they need water once every 21 days, not every 15, as Planta tells me. Try putting off the next watering, and see how it goes. If it seems as an issue, you can make a middle. Try every 18 days!

Have you tried reporting it/checking the roots?
